The snowstorm is now blamed for five deaths around the Buffalo, New York. A solid wall of clouds, just south of Buffalo, shows the power of the lake-effect storm. Jericka Duncan reports from West Seneca, just outside of Buffalo.
I live in Buffalo. I wasn't born during the BO77 but the 11/14 and 10/12/06 storms were a phenomenal reminder of mother natures power. Things like this are scary but they can bring people together and create some epic memories. I love Buffalo and in three months when i'm walking in my development on a 65 degree night, i'll look back at this and laugh.
Everyone in NYC thinks if they drive far enough north till they can see the NYC Skyline they're in Upstate. I'm born, raised, and still live in Oswego County. And we have never considered Buffalo Upstate. Always Western. Maybe the need to go back to school to learn how to read maps. Love and respect to our Western neighbors from this Upstater.
Exactly, I only came on this video to comment that. Upstate was fine. I live in LakeView like a half a mile away from the lake and I was stuck in my house for a little over a week.
I lived in the City of Buffalo about 2 miles north of Downtown or where the edge of that snow wall in the time lapse video was. I had barely a dusting of snow out front and you could see the wet street and the fall leaves on the ground. Most of the City of Buffalo was unaffected except South Buffalo.
Maric Dejan that's crazy to have that many snow in upstate NY I know because I use to live in upstate NY like Syracuse .u get a lot of lake effects. snow.
i lived in Detroit for 3 months while i worked there during the winter but thats wicked! I'd love to be there but i really really feel sorry that young man that passed away, prayers be with their family & friends
I remember that storm when I used to live in Buffalo. And being originally from Florida, living through a storm like that it was like something out of a movie. I couldn’t believe that so much snow could happen so fast.
Worked at Walmart on transit in Depew, on my lunch in the middle of night snow started, could not get back in parking lot to work so tried to go home only few streets away on Clinton street could not get there, did my best to keep moving or I probably would have died. About 6 or7 hours later got to my moms in tears. Never saw any snow plow out all night that is way it was so bad.
I Wake Up in the Morning and Its Forty Below The Weatherman Tells Me Its Too Cold to Snow I Look Out the Window and I Know That He's Lying My Car's Out of Sight and the Snows Still Flying "Will the Car Start?" You Know It Won't "Did They Plow the Road?" You Know They Don't "Am I Late For Work?" You Know You Are Stuck Again? So's Your Car Chorus: I Shovel and I Shovel and I Shovel That Snow I Gotta Get Out, But My Car Won't Go I Get the Cabin Fever When the North Wind Blows I Gotta Get Out, But My Car Won't Go 2. I Call Up the Neighbor, He's Got Four Wheel Drive He Can't Get Out He's Buried Alive Snowshoe Over, Play Some Fifteen Two I Gotta Cheer Up Cause I Feel So Blue "Crank Up the Blower," It Won't Run "Grab the Shovel," Its Much More Fun "My Back Is Broke," You're Halfway There Snowing Again, But I Don't Care (Repeat Chorus) I Have a Hot Date, Can't Be Late Still Snowed in She Just Can't Wait Stuck in the Drive, Stuck in the House Watching Tv Stuck On the Couch "Start Eating Again," Oh What a Bore "I Jumped a Size," Oh Eat Some More "I Look Like Hell," Well Loosen the Belt One of These Days This Snows Gonna Melt
100 inches?????????? That's how much the Johnstown, PA area gets in a typical YEAR - and everybody there talks about how much WE get. In Feb. 2010 alone, we had 86.3 inches, and I thought THAT was epic. But 100 inches in only a few DAYS? That's just unreal...
I belive the city of buffalo just hit the 100 inch mark but they barely got hit by the storm, now south of buffalo, we're most likely way past the 100 inch mark by now l, I live in OP and the school behind my house still has snow piles from the November storm plus the snow that has fallen since
This reminds me of the storms we all had back in 1993 and 1996. The 93 storm rocked the entire east coast and beyond. I believe that was where two storms joined together. "This storm complex was massive, affecting at least 26 U.S. states and much of eastern Canada." 1993 Storm of the Century
I remember the Storm of 1993, it hit in March of that year. I remember it hit on a Saturday and I got stuck at my cousins house and we didn't have school the Monday and Tuesday after the storm.
I remember it. Traveling to work and back aged me it was so stressful and that was on back roads. I can think of one storm that might've been worse. ? Though not in our time. The Blizzard of 1888.
Wow unbelievable!!! I live in South bend and I remember the snow storm of 78 that was my first snow storm!! The snowstorm you guys are having is just incredible I will be praying for you all!!!
Plow, he’s probably been there since the storm started, sometimes these guys and gals can’t get home to their families, then the public has the nerve to blame them for the snow being there, REALLY!!!
Thanks Jack Tom for your comment. I plowed roads for the county in Maryland and yes sometimes were stuck at work for five days or more and don't get to go home until the roads are clear and people have nerve to get pissy with us because we have plowed snow in front of their driveway or they haven't seen us for a day or two they don't realize how many roads there are just in one county alone, and there is only so many people and trucks to take care of those roads and we get no sleep sometimes we try to sleep in our dump trucks and yes people still have the nerve to get pissy with us.
I used to live in Buffalo and I really miss the snow. I have really good memories of this “Snowvember” because I had off of school for over a week and a half.
Us buffalo natives love the snowstorms we get, believe it or not! It's pretty cool...I'll take the snow over hurricanes,tornadoes & earthquakes for sure. I can slow us down a bit, but nowhere near as dangerous as other weather. It's just a little snow!
Once you experience something like that you will have a very different opinion. I live on Long Island in NY. I’ve lived through some pretty bad snowstorms.
Its slowly happening. The snow belt been moving south each year. Georgia is now getting regular snowing each winter now. Florida gets some snow too. Less than an inch but making its presence known.
I got caught in the storm trying to go get my oldest son who was stuck at his work. Needless to say I made it to union and Clinton. Had to walk the 5 miles to my house, because the snow was so deep, my hammy’s were killing me. I called my wife to tell her I was at the end of the block and I’ll b home soon, it took me a extra twenty minutes to walk half a block. Took me a little over 4 hours total to walk home. Should have stayed at the persons house who offered, but was worried about my son. He tried same thing, ended up staying at some random house. My advice is just to stay where u are. Never will do that again.
I lived in Hamburg, New York, when this storm hit in 2014. 84.5 inches of snow fell within a 24 hour period and the next day it warmed up to 60 degrees. My boss, at the time was like, "You are still coming into work, right?"
@@danielwells6319 Lackawanna resident here. No it didn't. If anything, you had a driving ban while it was still snowing for days after it initially hit. Most were lifted a few days after it started. Ours lasted a week.
I remember being a freshman in college at this time in NYC, and was thinking “Wow glad I don’t ever have to be in Buffalo, that’s crazy!” now.. I’m a college senior in Buffalo lol. Life is funny
When I was five, me, my siblings, and my dad were trying to go home, the snow on the roads were so bad that we eventually got stuck somewhere. We saw a car skidding on the ice in the parking lot, not just in circles, but in zigzags as well.
You are right, Kelleytina, Buffalo, NY is Western New York. My Grandparents lived in Olcott, NY which was right on Lake Ontario, which was 35 miles East of Buffalo, NY.
This was the first time in a long time Buffalo got any national attention. Let it keep snowing, maybe the snowfall amounts can be Buffalo's biggest pride Lol.
If this happens again in the USA. This is what we use to continue driving on every motorway during winter time. Street salt with small tiny bits rocks we spread on every motorway everytime snow is falling we refill on the motorways. Winter tires with dubbs the whole winter season. If its very high amount of snow like this video then we put chains around the tires so you can drive easy. If you want to get snow to melt in a few hours then spread Salt in that area. It will work. Ice and snow cant stand salt. Remember that. Thats what we do in scandinavia.
Can you imagine if it snowed another 5-10ft? Thousands of not tens of thousands would die. Mother Nature can be scaryyyy. One thing we cannot control no matter how hard we try.
And still with all the warnings people think it's fun to try to drive in this kind of storm, I see it when I'm out plowing, unless you have to be on the road don't be on the road.
The Buffalo Bills were scheduled to play the Jets in the middle of where the snowstorm hit five days after this report. They moved the game to Detroit. The Sunday at 1pm at game time in Orchard Park, NY, there was no snow in or around the stadium with sunny skies and a temp of 55 degrees. The day after was 65 degrees and t shirt weather.
If the game was schedule the day of this storm or a Thursday Night game, the day after this report, The stadium was packed under 8 feet of snow. If there was a stadium in Downtown Buffalo, the game could have happened as there was barely a dusting of snow there.
It's like the movie ICE I've just seen. If the snowstorm will not stop they will all die of hunger if no food stocked. Let's pray for the people in America. It's alarming. We have cold weather now in my country.
And many heartless many scumbags tried to order pizza for delivery. I worked at Domino's in western NY at the time and we were closed obviously but we saw that there were 3,821 missed calls on the caller ID 2 days later when we reopened
Maybe those "scumbags" as you call them needed to feed their kids and depended on you losers who let them down because you don't got a worker with a 4 wheel drive truck.👌😘
Nelson4207 that’s what canned food is for. If you can’t get out to feed yourself what leads people to believe delivery drivers will be out? They aren’t the post office, and claim to plow through any condition. Don’t know why anyone who lives in the belt wouldn’t keep at least a weeks worth of canned food on hand during the winter or at minimum some frozen pizzas.
Due to the fact they are located far from any large lake, the Catskills do not get very much lake effect snow. Lake effect snow from the Finger Lakes is minimal at best and requires relatively warm water temperatures, an ingredient that is simply not present in the springtime.
I lived in Watertown for 30 years and study meteorology so I have some credentials in the field. The western Catskills and the I-88 corridor that you mention are prone to heavy snowfalls but more often than not it is the result of nor'easters rather than lake effect snow. As you can see by this image, the Catskills average 25-50 inches of snow per year with some locations on the western fringes falling in the 50-75 inch range. That pales in comparison to the 160+ inches that occurs east of Lake Ontario. www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjF1dX2ltbcAhWCJHwKHcbpAeoQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.syracuse.com%2Fweather%2Findex.ssf%2F2015%2F10%2Fthis_cool_maps_shows_snows_bulls-eye_in_upstate_new_york.html&psig=AOvVaw0KWGylSb8ReuLpBKXFJKqY&ust=1533567666914701
Happens over and over again... And they KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN But they go out and try driving their cars with no ground clearance through snowdrifts and wonder why they got stuck.
I thought if I miss a day, No big deal. It turned into an entire week. I woke up at 4 am to shovel. I saw the plows give up. People's roofs were collapsing. I shoveled my entire driveway, then I saw the high lift go by. Could have been cleared in 5 minutes if I would have waited. Then I watched the Bills play the Jets in Detroit. I'm convinced the snow storm is one of the reasons Doug Marone left.
I remember when we used to get that much snow there, we have none at all for the most part as of rn and they say we likely won’t as the temp is near 40’s
