THE MOST INTENSE BLIZZARD EVER INTERCEPTED! Motorists stranded in Buffalo 

I live in Nova Scotia and have never seen a house and barn in one building.

In Alaska, I've seen these ropes attached, going from one building, through the path you'd walk to another building, and what you do, is people have these harness things with a tether and this clip, and you clip it onto the ropes and they guide you.

@@lindastent-campbell5130 they had building farm structures like this in Illinois farming area, as a teen we cut across the state for a camping trip across/around Lake Michigan. We kept seeing these circular structures in the region, lots of them. So when we stopped for a meal in a structure designed the same way - circular- we were told that this was the way that homes/ barns were designed in the 1800s in the whole area. Circular design with animals in one section and people inhabited the other floor. They just needed one big fireplace for the structure. Stairways carried the heat throughout.

@@cryhwks I have lived in Alaska 62 years and have never seen what you are talking about.

More like 10

This is nothing like the storm in October 2006

I recall many storms here in Buffalo lasting for hours though. this one just lasted a bit longer. but tbh, nothing new for me. i was able to clear my entire driveway in 20 min just using a shovel today. and my driveway isn't exactly small either. this was shit imo. i live in Depew

@@716Video Not all areas got hit the same. In the city of Buffalo and close surrounding areas... it's still going... Still blizzard conditions. Glad you all didn't get hit so bad out there.

@Monkey JumpStarr How so?

@Monkey JumpStarr Oh...just like there a no Thai girls in Thailand. Those are all boys who tuck it... And you are fawning over them. 😆

and complaining about it for hours

@@snoopyontheground3481 get out troll

Reed and team have a heart they do their part in helping peop!e

How did you get the snow and ice to stick to your eye brows?

@@rossniederman7531 Total CGI, FAKE snow, FAKE weather, all done in a big studio, great FAKE entertainment, we all love the comedy

The power of weather modification/manipulation is real....

@@corndog9482 Yeah from the combustion of fossil fuels.

@@jamespoon2656 "Yeah from the combustion of fossil fuels." 😂

@@corndog9482 😊

Mine was out for 5 days! Thank God it's summer time now lol

I am from Buffalo, NY and the worst was the Blizzard of 1977. At least today we have better technology to predict this. In 1977, there was no Doppler radar.

Where I'm at in western Pennsylvania it's no biggie. I've seen much much worse in Indiana over the years and worse in 2017 in Long island

@@psynurse Indiana might get snow and some wind but it doesn't get four to five feet of snow.

Reed dominating you are amazing bud💪💪💪💪😎😎😎

@@psynurse That one in '17 on LI was bad I remember that vividly

You’ve certainly got wisdom to share. Goddess Bless you & yours.

Amazing. lm in a country where it doesnt snow. Thank you for the insight into something unimaginable.

My house was in the Bulls Eye of this storm. 3 mornings that week I had to climb out a window so I could shovel my doors clear to exit the house. Then over to the elderly neighbor to shovel her out.

😂

Poor Reed 😞🤣

Brave Reed for giving the warning and being out there . No joke.

🤣😅😂

@@lindaalaureano Agree! Seems what ever channel is visited there are always disrespectful people. Dr Reed is incredible and shouldn't be disrespected.

Why would anyone,with any intelligence,go out in this weather.They had to know,well in advance,it was going to be like this.

All the mammals are safe in their earth dens... oh except humans....

It did happen to one girl returning from work.

Why stranded in car? Those “stranded” motorists that rolled their window down were no more than 100 feet from a store they could’ve either taken shelter in or broken into for shelter. Helpless people die quick.

The wind chill would need to be -18°F for frostbite to happen in 30 minutes. The temperature was about 15°F, and even with 40 mph winds, the wind chill was -8°F, so as long as your internal temperature is good, exposed skin is safe for 30 minutes.

Exactly

Too many people think either 1) it won't be as bad or isn't as the meteorologists say, or 2) their hubris leads them to be reckless. Some people do have emergencies, need mediation or other important necessities, but I wish most people would just learn to be more aware of what's to come and plan ahead of time or make due with what they have

I don’t care if they put there live in danger But I pray for the ones that have to go get there stupidO ass

Same here. No dinner, gift, what ever is worth putting your life at risk. As far as I’m going is kitchen, bathroom or closet together mo clothes to put on!

It's called being white.

My brother lives in Port Townsend and he sent a pic of his backyard covered in snow. I heard it was supposed to just rain today. I hope that is true because my brother is going over to Monroe to pick up my mom and bring her back for Christmas. I am worried about the travel. Stay safe and warm!

We need Biden's help, please.

There's GPS on every ambulance servicing the city of Buffalo, plus I believe BPD cruisers are also equipped with GPS tracking as well. I don't know if BFD apparatus all have GPS tracking, but they have MDT's, so they should. My point here is that even if every public safety vehicle is tracked with GPS, there's still no way to get to any of those vehicles. There are still ambulances with patients on board that are stuck and have been stuck since 1600 yesterday. When they called this a once in a generation storm, they weren't kidding. The last time we encountered weather like this was 1977. All of the 7 feet of snow in 7 hour lake effect snow storms won't touch this storm as far as deaths and property destruction goes. It's time for the individuals in this area to begin listening to weather forecasts and plan accordingly. It's time for people in this area to begin obeying traffic/driving bans as well. If fire apparatus that weighs 20-30 tons each are getting stuck, personal vehicles shouldn't even be on the road, yet the city streets are lined (and now buried) with cars and trucks. And your biggest Billy Bad-A$$ diesel 4x4 pickup trucks won't make it more than 10 feet in this either. This was a "stay home, stay warm, stay healthy, stay alive" event right from the first projected forecast 3 days prior to the initial event, yet a lot of people just don't think that pertains to them. Reed, I hope you're safe, warm, and healthy. You know as well as anyone to not try to drive anywhere from where you are. If you see a fellow EMS provider stuck in an ambulance anywhere, or any BFD firefighters stuck, or any BPD police officers stuck, please check on them to make they're OK. It'll be another 12-24 hours before anyone will be able to get them out and safe. I fear for when this storm begins to slowly move south over the Southtowns because most people still had 6-12" of snow already on the ground before this even began yesterday. Say a prayer for my EMS family, as well as the rest of my public safety family. They're going to need it.

And now I remember that my previous message was a response to a comment and that I wasn't making an original comment post. Woopsie... 🤦‍♂️

@@bubba72205 👍👍👍👍👍 My thinking exactly. A coworker told me she's driving from Colorado to Michigan with her fiance during the middle of this big storm. I thought to myself, "that's very unwise"!!!

@@bubba72205 muito importante suas informações 👏👏👏

I guess medical emergencies are also on their own. How terrible this storm is!! How sad that people will lose their lives. I've been praying hard against this storm ever since I heard it was coming as of last week. Any news on the stranded people today, 12/24??

Difference is... Although it is not as cold, we're getting lake effect snow. The band moved north overnight and is returning to the airport area this afternoon. I'm looking at 4-5foot drifts, only 2nd floor door to patio opens inward.

Merry Christmas Jo. I live in the UK in a London suburb and we had a brief cold snap a couple of weeks back where we got a couple of inches of snow and a few nights where the temperature got down to -6C which I think is about 20 Fahrenheit. People where complaining about bitter cold. US and Canadian winter weather though is different level cold. Stay safe and hope it warms up soon.

Protect your pets paws. Put gym socks on all four paws and pull them up to the chest. Buy kids sweaters to put on your pets if real dog coats are too expensive. Their skin/Ears need protection too. Buy kids tie hat to put over their heads and ears and tie under chin. First time out in this weather and dog recognizes immediately the difference. Believe me they are grateful. Ours actually got excited when they saw the winter clothing being pulled out. They recognized their hat and socks . If don’t have a dog coat, then pull out an old teeshirt or sweatshirt and put them in it, tying off the ends so it doesn’t slip off. Dogs can cut their footpads, with ice between their toes, and salt burns on their skin and they don’t get sick licking off the chemicals and salts, if they wear gym socks. You think of them as one f your kids. Treat them as such!

You are wonderful mummy to your dogs. Thank you for taking precious care of them.

@@juliewatson2281 GREAT advice!!

Agreed but I don’t know how you measure this. We got 10’ drifts and also grass showing

I agree

@@fredsilvers1427 I lived in the hardest hit place and I’m glad he didn’t have to come save me 🤣

🙏❤️

yeah this storm made me think that there oughta be emergency apartment complexes with units about the size of say studio or 1 bedroom all over the place to temporarily house people caught in something like this

Tom Reuter - YES! I’m in North Boston and it’s the city and the north towns turn!!

It’s heading south later today.

It may have blown all the snow up to downtown! The band is heading that way. Worst still to come for the Southtowns

@Reed Timmer last month, the city and southtowns got smoked, but without the wind. If I remember correctly, I think you were right in the middle of all of that at the econolodge (that's what it looked like in your video anyway). Once that band shifts back south, the city is going to get smoked again. For the city's sake, and my public safety family's sake, I hope it moves quicker than anticipated. Stay safe out there brother.

Oh, you didn't know? Its coming Saturday night throught Christmas :D

Prayers? Are we in the Middle Ages? It's called stay home, check your locals, and you will be fine.

@@TranceReligion Yes agree, but everyone’s situation is different in life, you never know what or why, my message was for everyone to get through this brutal storm & survive. Respect your thought’s though

We need Biden's help, please.

yeah watching Reed's eyebrows be all encased in ice was something else

I have them on our pet stroller. 😂

I moved to LaBelle Florida just before lockdown. Lived in Baldwinsville, Weedsport, south Trenton, guilderland & Lysander. (& a short stint in bay ridge Brooklyn) .

Miami 50 degrees for me like Buffalo Blizzard 🥶

@@rosalindr4975 South Trenton I have many friends

Should ONLY be healthcare workers getting to work 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are folks you cannot tell them nothing. They will never listen. Some lost their lives due to this blizzard.

Many of the people that were stuck in their vehicles were trying to get home from work. For whatever reason the city did not officially shut down.

happy birthday

It's all due to global warming!

Were you in the military there? My niece and her husband were stationed there in the mid 2000's, and were transferred to Virginia for years. They just retired in Alaska last month. They love it there.

Are you still in Alaska. I hear it has been warm so far

its been happening here in buffalo 2014 also infamous snowtober 77 many more i forgot

We did just that in the blizzard of 77, my dad and i almost died in that storm. I was 9 and dad carried me a mile and a half down a secluded military road. He knocked on the 1st door we came too and no one home, he kicked in their front door (as a very respectable school teacher and coach for decades) it was hard for him to do but once inside he immediately called the nys police and explained the situation to them. I remember he left a 100 dollar bill on their table with a note for the damage of their door and little food and heat we used until the morning. Lived in wny for 45 yrs and have been through every major storm since 77. A Merry Christmas to everyone !!!

If one is able to stay inside and have the luck to not lose power, it is fascinating to watch the snow blow and drift

@ Roselind . Get ready for sea level rise and eventual flooding.

I live in Oswego, born and raised. Nasty winters use to be common. The warm winter have made people complacent. 40 plus inch storms are a way of life here as you can attest. My grandfather had to use snowmobiles and sleds to deliver groceries from his store to customers. My mom still has photos of the Storm of 1966. Think that was 100 inches of accumulation from what my grandparents told me. Hope everyone stays warm and safe.

@@ericburns5359 I was in Cato meridian for a while. Stay safe

Did you have your windows open? Otherwise the windchill outside would have no effect whatsoever on how it feels inside your house.

It is getting to be more prominent that EVERY home be built with a Fireplace or a Wood burning stove or other OFFgrid Heat source. Stay Chilly 🥶 Mr. Heater Buddy (Propane Emergency use/temporary/for Ice fishing and camping) check it out!!

Southern NM in 50s today. Tonight around 25. If we get snow less than a inch and gone by noon

Older homes often have leaky windows and doors so cold wind outside chills things off inside quickly. Besides the insulation provided by glass is minimal.

@@jts12fan no windows open but I live in a mobile home.

We need Biden's help please...

Global warming is the cause of extremes of weather both cold and hot. That's the difference between weather and climate after all.

Local weather is not climate. This is the more extreme storm predicted by global warming models. The poles are getting too warm. The rivers of air are meandering.

@@alphabetsoup6681 Aaah, ok.. I no nothing about it.. thanks for the input. 🫠
