- 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.
*CORRECTION*
Number 1: It's WESTERN New York
Number 2: The area that was hit is called the Southtowns
Damn thats alot of snow wow
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.
It's western to people from here but upstate to anyone in NYC
South buffalo 2
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.
"Upstate"
*Triggered*
As a Buffalo Native, it’s Western New York, not upstate
Thank you. I live in Springville. And it always agrivates me when people say upstate NY instead of Western Ny
Hi 👋
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.
I lived there for 7 years and was born there, and not once did I hear someone say Upstate NY
No. WNY is part of upstate.
This storm changed my life. Hope it never happens again
😂😂😂
I had so much fun with this storm. I had 7 feet of sitting snow and had a blast for 7 days. I'll never forget
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
This reminds me of The Great Blizzard of 1977 that hit Western New York
Donald Thompson there was one in 71 also
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.
Only the kids are happy 😂😂
Yes! i am a kid and i am happy!!!, 👶😂😂
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.
@@jonjonesjones3351 i used to live in Binghamton which is 1 hour away from Syracuse and we get alot of snow too
Im from florida yay
i luv snow storms(":
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 so wish we got snow like this in the uk,nothing happens here so fucking boring,
I agree too, but 100 inches of snow, yet the UK gets an evacuation ready for 15 inches, bunch of drama queens
Yeah, I want snow too here in Finland, these past couple of winters pretty much sucked hairy ass.. I miss good old snowy winters..
No, you don't o_O
Yeah! Finally we got some snow in here where I live, awesome. =) It just keeps coming..
just don't pray for over 200cm
Snow is fun, make snowmen and angels, but can make life miserable
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
Nice...well put.😁
Garfield Cat bloody brilliant
Very true in Montana too
Great time too build instruments from garbage round they house,bond with pets,contemplate spring
Garfield Cat OoOoOoO
I just finished inclosing the shed I build before the first storm hit. After everything I had seven feet of snow. My shed held it!
we love buffalo
Eh it's okay
wings
Same
Wish we got snow like this
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!!!
nature doesn't joke
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.
Yup i remember it snowing in north florida. Not alot mind you but enough to make the locals say wtf is going on here???
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.
How does the man who drives the snow plough get to work?
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.
@@jjr897 hire more workers and stop crying or get another job cupcake 😘
He drives a volkswagen!
He uses a Subaru to get to the garage...
“I thought you were missing a 0 or something “ . 🤦 you mean you thought she added a 0. Haha
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.
Being in the snow is cozy in my opinion
it is but not 8 feet at once
Wow. Lake Effect Snow is incredible.
it is lake erie is relentless buffalo gets crazy amounts of snow
and Lake Ontario
Very very sorry FOR THE POOR IN PLACE LIKE THIS .MY PRAYS GO OUT TO ALL.🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
@@jimogrady1131 Hubby and I might move that way in a couple of years.
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...
Usually we don't get that much, and as of the last ten years or so, the weather up here has been getting more mild, until this anyway.
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
+Kyle Blank true
imagine what would happen if it all of sudden Florida got this much snow
Haha they'd be screwed, northern states would have to drive equipment down there to help them out
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.
who knows what would it be like in 2050?
Since they voted for Trump I would not mind seeing that.
Oh my .... be totall chaos.
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.
I love snow storms but it does worry me because many people get in crashes
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!
Same here in good ol North Dakota. Left Florida 20 years and haven't looked back.
I wanna be stranded in a snow storm with Tarika
Western* New York
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.
I will gladly take that blizzard here in Georgia.
Im from Buffalo and i loved it .
Five inches an hour! The flakes must have been as big as tennis balls!
Haha.. It's not a flake anymore..
+Bilbo Baggins snowing snowballs
I love snow
And snow storms are heavenly, and i like them alot
i like snow too, i live 1 block from the lake, i like seeing the lake compleatly frozen
Every person who lives in Buffalo knew this storm was coming no reason to be caught unprepared
Yep welcome to Upstate NY
Pople BackyardFarm Ikr welcome to upstate we have 100 ft of snow for you! 😂
Pople BackyardFarm *Western NY*
Right. It's Western NY. Upstate is the rest of the state. Except, of course NYC and LI.
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.
*OH GOODY!! A BLIZZARD!! LET'S GO SHOPPING!!*
So happy we didn't get snow like this, this year. My bf and I shovel snow for our job, this would've been a nightmare XD
I am in Up State NY ( Lake George, NY )and remember this storm very well......we were buried also and had to travel everywhere by snowmobile....
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.
i thought buffalo got a bad rap cause of our winters
No. You can go on the snow map. The more snow you have the more popular you become, with those who love the snow such as skiers exc.
Oh my! that is way too much snow!
Too bad it just could not keep doing this untill all of nyc is buried
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.
Crazy weather going on today. Stay warm
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.
Yup im also scared that I cant see my best friend ever again
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
I don't why you would even try to drive .
Cause it's fun driving in snow. I've never gotten stuck in my lifted truck in snow or mud. But I also save the people who get stuck
If you work for a snow removal company, you have no choice :)
But I needed more Skittles.
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.
WooooooW
I love to be on this situation...
Where was this show when I had to work
Have to keep up with the weather when traveling!
Huh, so a very bad winter for Montana then... man, I feel you. It just snowed about 55 inches within a few days and we're getting more today...
Would love this ! I love winter .
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.
@@kobyschechter8163 not true at all, im straight from Alaska and have went through some horrible storms. Wishing we would get even more
I went through something like that in 2009 in Vermont,
Im from Buffalo and Love Buffalo food but they can kee the weather I don't miss it at all
Here in the Harrisburg, PA. area they shut down school with three inches of school and the news broadcast is all about the "blizzard".
Super zimę macie , a u nas w Polsce bez śniegu i tylko mróz.
It's so cold in Chicago too
i wish there were that much snow where i live:(
My mom got snowed in at the hospital for 3 days during this storm
We certainly won’t forget this storm... Lancaster was buried.
5 inches an hour?
Up in NW of Washington, we'd be lucky to get anywhere near 5 inches in 1 day without it already starting to melt...
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.
How did the news lady not jump into the snow? I would’ve 😂
I have family in Buffalo they sent me pics this am. I told them stay inside until spring. Living here in Florida baby its cold outside. Brrrrr.
Very nice
I live about 15 minutes north of here, we all got 1 inch of snow during this event
Agreed......I'm in the UK too and what I would give for snow like that!
fds I live in the UK too and would hate this much snow. No more than 3 centimetres thanks!
I live in kenmore, 20 min away from west Seneca which was hit the hardest and we got 2 inches lol
why is such an old article popping up in my feed?
You got yumyums driving around front wheel drive on all season tires 😂😂😂😂
i live at elevation 2200 and i got 114 inches on snow i was stuck for 4 days
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.

Punta cana is like that
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.
We jus had a nice storm,but not like this
Could people please state the year it was taking because, I like to know if this is 2016 or 2014 please its not that hard !
November of 2014.
Also not that hard to look at the upload date either.
Man, if you love any type of snow sports than the east coast is the place to be!
i have never seen so much snow in my life in austria (vorarlberg) where i live it doesn't snow a lot
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.
Wonder if that gonna happen here in norway. Hope those on the bus get home to their families
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
We Will Gladly Take That Blizzard In Louisiana!
When was this video streamed??
When everyone buys electric cars we won't have these big snows
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.
"Forget about it" said the New Yorker.
New York governor WHO????
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
Sorry bro was prolly me I live in Hamburg
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.
Wasn’t me I was outside grilling a steak
I with the pizza man. You was warnd ahead of time. Why wait the last minute.
Omg, 30 degrees is cold for me. We just got it here in Florida. I was freezing!! I never plan on seeing snow in my life!!
In buffalo that year during Febuary it hit negative 30
The Russians actually had a special vehicle designed to get through snow like this, basically it uses screws, one on each side, and they rotate and just literally screw the vehicle right along through the snow. It thus can't get stuck. You can put it into water even and the screws will still propel it along.
O
I WAS STUCK ON THE LACKAWANA THRUWAY FOR 30 HOURS WITH NO GAS
Woooow wow 😳 I love snow but that’s a little much.
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.
That looks nice
PANAMA RELOCATION TO UR'S!! WITH JACKIE!!👍👍
Thank God I live in Florida!
the snow is fun but buffalo gets so much in winter, that storm was 8 feet in 2 days, we get snow cause buffalo is right on lake erie, i know lots of people that go to florida to escape our winters
And the snow each year has been heading south more and more. Georgia is starting to see a regular snow fall each year now. Florida gets snow too. Maybe not more than an inch but one day it will be receiving more than inch . No matter where you live, you are not safe from snow or winter in general.
what a shame you will never experience something so great
I'm glad you live in Florida to with the hurricanes
I farted outside during that storm and it froze and fell to the ground
I live in East ja hunga And we get snow and some times we are called western New York
interesting. Thanks. See how I walk in a snowy city th-cam.com/video/n9I6z-ifbrE/w-d-xo.html
snowmobile the Vehicles of the Future. I remember these days although upstate seems to have moved in this video.
