Which radars cover Gananda?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 72 miles west. 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 Gananda	View
KBUF Buffalo, NY	72 mi west	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTYX Montague, NY	94 mi east-northeast	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBGM Binghamton, NY	94 mi southeast	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

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