Which radars cover Canaseraga?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 59 miles northwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Canaseraga	View
KBUF Buffalo, NY	59 mi northwest	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBGM Binghamton, NY	93 mi east	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCCX State College, PA	107 mi south	10,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
