- Apocalyptic scenes in Downtown Buffalo from once-in-a-generation #blizzard with snow drifts 15 feet high stranding motorists. Emergency vehicles buried in snow drifts. Hundreds of motorists standed last night. Storm chase Brandon Clement (@wxchasing) and I helped transport residents to a warm shelter. The intense lake effect snow band has moved back in to Downtown Buffalo this evening with another two feet of snow possible. Merry Christmas.

Never Stop Chasing
I have lived in Buffalo for 45 years, and this is by far the worst snow storm we have ever experienced. People have been found dead in the snow and dead in stranded cars. Tens of thousands of people are without power and heat! Streets are impassable with over 5ft snow drifts on them. Trees and power lines down everywhere! Keep us in prayer! Help from the National Guard is starting to arrive!
Merry Christmas hope you will get help
🙏 Buffalo, NY 🙏
What about now? It’s Tuesday night. 🙏🏽
@@justagirlsd3000
Partly cloudy, not snowing. Cold but it's supposed to reach 50 degrees by Saturday.
77 blizzard was worse
I'm in Buffalo NY... I live near Roswell & Buffalo General Hospital 🏥 this has tops any blizzard 🥶 I have ever seen in all my days. I hope everyone that is stuck in their cars, and/or without power are found safe and sound. I Pray 🙏 for Everyone all over the world. God Bless you all, and if no one told you they Love you today just know I do💗💖💗 Happy Holidays!!!
Hi nedraunique have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
I’m 52 yrs old and live here in Mansfield,Ohio and never ever felt minus 35 wind chills in the air.brrrrrr.
No power for 3 days was as 1st for me I'm on the Eastside just came on at 5:30
This is like a snow hurricane. Absolutely insane blizzard
It's like the Blizzard of 77......I was six then, and remember it well....This one is just as bad, maybe slightly worse...
Hi ethanwx have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
That's what I was thinking too lol
It was so much worse than a hurricane. I've been in both. I couldn't breathe in the blizzard conditions for a minute.
@@flat-earther If i made a 13 part series called "You're an idiot", would that be all it takes to convince you?
Store staff blew up air mattresses for the shoppers and served hot meals from the deli, says Heather Nickoli, who was en route from Ohio to Peterborough, Ont., with her boyfriend. Store workers also played music and gave people games to play.A total of 50 stranded customers and 48 staff spent the night. The unexpected Walmart stay came as a winter storm pummeled much of Ontario, Quebec and other parts of Canada. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued weather alerts for most provinces and territories. well, hey, doesn't take much to show Christmas spirit all year round. When Police cannot even help it's wise to call a state of emergency. Merry Christmas for all involved in these events.
Climate Change🙄Not! More like weather manipulation from HAARP😡they been doing this to us for decades. Our Government is doing everything possible to either kill us and make our lives miserable!
Love the Canucks, they get practical while the Americans get hysterical.
@@banksiasong What shit are you talking?? I'm born and raised in Buffalo NY..NOBODY IS HYSTERICAL EXCEPT THE MEDIA FIGHTING FOR ATTENTION.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV.............HELLO!

@@MrsMarks ..I know right?
In South Buffalo 2-3 additional feet of snow fell over night. Drifts are INSANE! Merry Christmas Reed and TY for the coverage. After the blizzard of 77 we were referred to as the "City of Good Neighbors." You have become a part of us now, great to see the rescues!
I am hoping ALL stranded drivers have been found by you and other searchers and brought to safety. This is a deadly situation.
Not yet.
Yes Jesus has saved them
Praying 🙏
@@jenny-DD does Jesus have a tow truck?
@@cyndianderson7056 no, but your fingers & keyboard have no filter
Buffalo resident here. This is like the Blizzard of 77 all over again.
This weather is terrible. I'm in Minnesota about a mile from Fargo ND and my girlfriend has been thrown off the road on her delivery route 4 times in 24 hours. It isn't even nearly as bad as Buffalo. I feel for the people up there. Hopefully everyone makes it through this terrible winter
Thank you
Praying for you guys. Sister from Maryland
This global warming is something to be reckoned with. Obammy and Joey warned us. Get that sunscreen before it's sold out. Those 2 guys are looking out for us. For real.
Why did your girlfriend risk her life for her job? It must be very important work in order to do that. I say this from experience during the blizzard of 78.
Does she have winter tires?
My daughter and grandchildren live in Buffalo. Hope all are fine. Please keep safe and try to stay warm. From Montgomery, Alabama

It's 31 degrees in Orlando right now and I thought I was cold - until I started watching blizzard coverage.
Reed hope you and your family have a great Christmas! You do a fantastic job as a chaser and public servant! Bless you man!
Thank you for reaching out to people who need help

Wish they could help me down in Florida ran out of propane below freezing, and none the less, it's christmas.
@@christopherdibble5872 I’m so sorry. Do you have candles, or neighbors with candles and blankets?

This dude caught amazing footage! I thought I lived through this storm, his footage made me realize that I had no real idea what was going on in my own neighborhood!
You'd think in Buffalo and places is like it that are so vulnerable to extreme weather would have buried their power lines by now! It SHOULD BE a PRIORITY!
And get snow capable vehicles added to their fleet.
Nope, they build bike paths, rails to trails and messed up streets creating weird bumped out corners.
@@biblemademedoit That's important, and the woke thing to do. Joey and Nancy approve.
Snow capable vehicles don't matter when there's 10 foot tall drifts of snow in the streets lol
@@nolayupsgolf716 That just shows how much you don't know.
Reed I was glad that you were out there trying to help some of the stranded motorists and now hope that you're safe and sound tonight, on your way home hopefully or at least in somewhere, if it wasn't safe for you to travel
Yooooo the blizzard is happening right now ! It doesn't end 🥶
Yes I am heading back out there for another round!
We got it 2 days ago. It sucked
Winds finally died down enough today to snowblow. Drifts were like concrete
Police cruiser Dominated.
was down helping out stuck people in port colborne just on the other side of the border. If you dont have 4x4 youre not moving
I grew up near Buffalo and went to college there. It always shocks me that despite multiple warnings not to drive...people will get in vehicles and go visiting people.
Buffalo experienced two major blizzards in a three week span. Yikes!
Just one. The storm a few weeks back was just heavy lake effect snow without the wind
@@rhoma459 The last storm went up to more than three feet of snow.
@@DC322 Yep. Just pointing out that it wasn’t a blizzard, since it didn’t have high winds. This storm had winds of over 70mph and lasted for two days.
@@rhoma459 Yea he's right a blizzard has nothing to do with snow totals, you can have a blizzard with like 2 inches of snow fall and ground snow kicking up.
Some people dive into their work. Reed does a double backflip dive into 4 screw-downs with a no scope headshot into a banjo pluck.
Ohh my....wow Reed! My prayers will go out for those in need of them and a very Merry Christmas for you and all of them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🤶☃️🎄🎁❄️🙏
Merry Christmas !🎄 ♥ from blizzard southern Ontario 🇨🇦
You should buy a snow plow for winter storm chasing
As a truck driver I can tell you Buffalo gets snow like this and closes the interstates every winter.
BRO I drove thru buffalo and all of Michigan 11am-3am I was out pulling people all off 80-94 and side streets, just commuting to see my in-laws!
No lie that storm was WILD and absolutely the best one I have driven thru yet! lots of crashes and people unable to be helped but prayers sent and attempts made!
wife and kiddo just enjoying the wild snow!
we are moving to Alaska so it was a good test of our equipment without much risk!
Stay indoors peeps!!!! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
Right? But, some people just won't. I've seen some pretty strange comments calling people stupid etc for "believing the hype this is a bad storm" and "what are you a sheep? Go out if you want to. They're just lying to you to control you." I don't know about some people anymore. Anyways, Merry Christmas! 🎄 Take care! ♥ from another person still in the middle of the blizzard in southern Ontario 🇨🇦
You should see my street. It's a Tahoe outside all the way covered in snow. It's a good 6 feet of drifts out there. Not to mention we still have no power! Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
Sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone in upstate NY. I left in 2003 and traded the snow for rain in the PNW. Stay safe everyone 🙏 ❤️
Comme dans certains films grave courage à la population
Just another beautiful day in paradise here in WNY! This is third multi-foot snowfall we've had this winter, which began 3 days ago btw. The difference this time is the wind, gust to 79 mph measured in Lackawanna yesterday!
I believe the really heavy snow bands usually set up a bit South of Buffalo: This time Mo' Nature decided to shift the focus slightly North. So, this snow isn't unusual for the region, but, it's unusual for Buffalo itself.
I'd almost trade, though, IF we (Western KY) had the snow removal equipment: It was -9 F on my back porch last Friday morning. Wind chill was ~ -30. Good thing we don't have any large bodies of water to our immediate West!
@@SpringIsBACK I actually live in the "Southtowns" of the Buffalo area and you're correct, we are the traditional snow-belt area. We had the 80" snow fall a few weeks back while the city and North had on the order of inches or a foot.
My friends who live up there are now experiencing the brunt of this, although now it has shifted into our area and is supposed to give us another two to three feet of snow on top of what we already have. We're somewhat protected from really cold temps by the warmth of the lake but of course get all the extra snow as well.
Hi dutchflats have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
I live in Lockport and it was nasty yesterday, there is snow drifts up to the roof
@@dutchflats
I hear you. Last storm dumped 5 feet of snow in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I live in south Cheektowaga, my daughter lives in Niagara falls, they got 6 inches. But this time they got like 4 feet.
Appears that the power poles which were blown down had no real foundaion. Just a pad of some kind which did not extend very far into the ground. The snow drifts are about three feet deep in most places and maybe six feet deep in a few places.
Looks like the apocalypse… maybe the snowpocalypse
Wow this is extreme! Thanks Reed for sharing and happy holidays!
Hi wawonas have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Wow! Just unbelievable, what a rough winter already in Buffalo and it has just started!
The beginning is usually much worse than the end, but it wasn't always that way. February used to be a nightmare, before the jet stream shifted a few years back.
As a Taiwanese, a citizen of Buffalo, keep confidence and courage
May GOD bless all the people in Buffalo New York!🙏
Prayers for all.
Merry Christmas!
Prayers and Blessings always ♥️🙏♥️🥶🥶🤗🥰
Are you seriously the sole person actually out covering this unbelievable event? Wow.
The sad part is hat winter has just begun. Anyone from a cold state knows that winter is at its worst in late jan-feb
Luckily Lake Erie is freezing the worst snow totals are behind us now
@@DegeN.YNation Yes, as far as snowfall the colder it is(Jan-Feb) the better off we are regarding snowstorms, which are lake effect snow for the most part. Unfortunately it has warmed up significantly for the past few days and the snow is melting and keeping lake warm, seemingly recharging the snow machine.
God bless you 🙏🏻 ❤️
Grew up in Buffalo... When it stormed....you could still walk to Mom and Pop taverns on every other corner! They were always open because the family lived upstairs! Great memories...but now will only visit in summertime...!
When I read the word, Buffalo thought of buffalo wings. This blizzard is causing havoc everywhere, it's a real BEAST...Santa & his reindeer are n ground zero...it's a merciful X'mas y'all
LOL...
That is crazy!!
Proud of our Okie!! Merry Christmas Reed!! Please be safe!!!🙏🎄🙏🎄🙏🎄🎅🏻
I grew up in Buffalo dduring the 50's and 60's This is why I live in north Carolina now
I'm in Niagara Falls, thankfully it's not as bad here. Stay safe everyone!
A better micro-clime up there.
Best coverage of this storm by anyone Reed. Be safe.
His eyebrows are getting to be snow crystals
Thank you for coming to our city and braving this blizzard. We lost power the 1st day. Plus, we had 7 trees come down with that wind luckily they didnt hit the house.
Buffalo was once a nice place , about 120 years ago.
Merry Christmas ! Happy new Year2023！ Niagara Falls Christmas lights show Canada! 尼亚加拉瀑布灯光秀，圣诞灯光秀！
I give people credit for living in that hostile place. It's not like Buffalo winters are a big secret. Buffalo, Manatoba, the Dakotas, the Arctic Circle....
Merry Christmas Brother!!! BIG THANKS EVERYTHING YA DO!!!
Carumba...glad all got rescued.🎄⛄A Warm
Christmas to all!
Sadly not all got rescued. It's up to 40 deaths so far. It's been 4 days since the snow stopped and clean up began and we are still finding people who didn't make it.
Detroit had little accumulation. Cold and wind was the worst of it. Lake effect snow is rough.
Reed Timmer,you put yourself in harms way just to show this brutal deadly winter coverage...many thanks..be safe
Reed Timmer
and have a great merry christmas and a happy new year!!!
Hi erickort have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
NOT A NATURAL EVENT! ENGINEERED FROM BEGINNING TO END!
How the f___ you got 7 likes is beyond me. No one is capable of 'engineering' something like this. How about some proof? Oh yeah, you don't have any.
Can't believe that they have cars AWD instead of 4x4 trucks with snow tires & chains out in that weather, especially if they know that they have severe winters, we have bad winters here in the Yakima Valley in Washington State, and we pray for our Northeastern Neighbors! God bless and Godspeed! 🤲🏽😇🙏🏽🙌🏽✝️
I lived PNW and Upstate NY. Chains are very common in PNW, so many people keep them in their cars. In NY, no chains. People use AWD, and all season tires. It's crazy. I run snow tires and AWD. You see 4x4 trucks in the ditch the most. They think they invincible. They run crap tires, and spin out. Tires make the difference. Many drive AWD minivans , and some with snow tires, for the family to keep active all winter long.
Dude has snow on his eyebrows and eyelashes! WTF?? Amazing journalism!!
You need a snowmobile, Reed.
This makes the storm we saw in west Michigan look weak. I was stranded in 3ft snow banks was stuck in the middle of the road. Thank god crew could get to me with the county plow. If it happened here I don’t think I would have been so lucky…
Thank you for helping people. I also worry about animals left outside. I grew up in a suburb of Buffalo. This is heart rending.
“Keep Buffalo a Secret” - yeah, not to worry, no one wants to live there after seeing this crazy weather!
Some would have you believe this is normal. It's not. This is not a normal winter storm it's the worst we've ever seen in Buffalo. Josh requested a trade, sorry.
I'm dreaming of a white christmas just like the ones I used to know.
The police car stands about four and a half to five feet tall but is not even in this video fully submerged in the ten foot drift you are standing on...am I missing something? Still props for going out and helping in these atrocious conditions.
Thank You for Letting Us Know!
Kudos to Reed for braving this and bringing this into our homes. We don't have to suffer through it. Feel so sorry for those affected. I would love a White Christmas but not with 15 ft snow drifts. BTW, I live in SC and have never experienced anything like this. We did have 18" of snow decades ago and it stayed around for far too long and lost its beauty. We have had lows of 11F the past few days. It's 15F now(Dec 25th, @7:30 AM, tks for nothing Santa)but feels like 8F with wind chill.
Everyone enjoyed our 70 degree weather in November and many of us tried to warn people this winter was going to be horrible because the lake was too warm.
An experienced and observant Buffalonian.
WOW!!! Be careful bud 🙏🏻
Santa better have a foghorn and extra batteries for Rudolf.
It's like scenes from the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Thankful I live in California.
California has no tomm
Why anyone would want to live in New York, let alone Buffalo is absolutely beyond me.
Compare a week in Buffalo in July to a week in Houston or Atlanta or Phoenix in July. It's all a matter of picking your poison.
Buffalo actually has the nicest summer weather anywhere in the northeast. The lake acts like a big air conditioner. It is cooler, sunnier and less humid than all other eastern cities.
Be safe Reed Timmer
I had to spend Christmas by myself in my apartment, with no heat and no hot water, because there's no way for me to get out of here right now. There's not even anywhere to walk to really.
We're experiencing this as well in wellington ontario canada 7 foot snow drifts 60mph wind gusts white out conditions
Thank you for helping others in this terrible strom
HOLY CRAP.!!! NO WAY, NO THANKS. I LOVE THE TROPICS AND EVEN RIGHT NOW WE'RE FREEZING IN FLORIDA.
"KEEP BUFFALO A SECRET" !!!! 🤣
0:24 - Power pole looked like some sort of construction temporary set up that should have been addressed before the storm?
1:27 - Ad on side of building read, "Keep Buffalo A Secret"...Mission accomplished!!!
lol...
i PRAY FOR YOU ALL.
Hello from uk 🇬🇧 new subscriber here god bless you all rip to all those that perished god bless the people that helped random people and loved ones 🙏🙏
Praying for you all to stay safe 🙏 ❤️.
How did I miss your videos of these snow storms? I always click on your lives and other videos...this is crazy dangerous. You amaze me with what you go through to give us these reports and images. wow
Very scary
Looks like the middle of Antarctica... Extreme stuff. I'm Scandinavian and have never seen anything like this...
(And yes I'm aware that this is the day after the blizzard and I have seen the other videos as well and I'm simply commenting on the newest of the videos.)
Oh my goodness thank you for helping those people!
Hope everyone is prepared.
Imagine if you were in the police cruiser
Copcicle
When Reed's been here twice in one season you know things are bad lol.
You ever thought of being a news anchor? Great video. Stay safe! God bless you for helping others.
I hope Buffalo hooks Reed up with some Wings and Beer, he deserves it
My favorite moment, when you had your hat on backwards. 😂
Keep up the great reporting Reed, you’re the best.
Prayers for those folks.

@@nanachick05 nanachick I suggest watching the series and you will either learn something amazing or get a chance to laugh at flat earthers, great deal either way.
@Perinne nobody asked, also nobody cares
Same here in Tonawanda today.
What a HERO! You truly deserve a medal.... Thank you for what you aredoing 😇😘😇🥂🇬🇧
Holy cannoli! That’s a doozy! Stay safe and warm, Buffalo. ♥️
That telephone poll tipped over is definitely a scary sight! I gotta wonder how the police were able to do their jobs, and also why we're not seeing any snow plows! I don't get that at all about no snow plows in sight. Please stay Safe everyone. 😌✌️❤️🦋🙏
Snow plows are largely pointless if there's still a lot of drifting. The snow is not going to stay where you put it as if it were wet snow.
There's hundreds if not thousands of cars stranded on the roads. The mayor had to call the plows off because they started to crush cars that were buried underneath the snow in the street. Buffalo has hundreds of plows but they just can't go anywhere right now
Some of the plows are abandoned too
Buffalo used to be famous/known for its severe winters and blizzards, lake-effect snow, and frozen conditions. That's why people moved to warmer places.
2:23 ...did he just say "Drifts that are 10 feet tall " LOL
Hoping you made it safely home for Christmas.
