Buffalo, NY buried in potentially-historic snowstorm

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- A dangerous lake-effect snowstorm paralyzed parts of western and northern New York on Friday, with 0.91 meters of snow already on the ground in some places by early afternoon.
The storm's severity varied widely due to the peculiarities of lake-effect storms, which are caused by frigid winds picking up moisture from the warmer lakes, and dumping snow in narrow bands.
Residents in some parts of Buffalo awoke to blowing, heavy snow, punctuated by occasional claps of thunder, while just a few miles north, only a few inches of snow had fallen overnight and there were patches of blue sky.
Global's Chief Meteorologist Anthony Farnell is on the ground in Buffalo, N.Y., where he is engulfed in a massive pile of snow.

This stuff is not light and fluffy, it is wet and heavy. High moisture content from the warm lakes, very dangerous on rooftops and roads.
Be careful
Thanks for countering all these veiled celebratory commenters.
Boston here. Not funny.
We call that Elephant snot up here in Canada eh
@@DARWINZOO We aren't getting this.
You're correct. This snow is wet and heavy. The snow will only get lighter when the temperature drops.
Imagine being a short person on this snow.
I think Anthony Farnell is 6'5", and look where the snow comes up to on him.
buy an orange snorkel :)
Hey
That would be me... LoL 🤣😂
I’m 5’0 and I can barely walk through 2 feet of snow and we get it where I am
Buffalo NY native. We had a storm just like this almost exactly 8 years ago with 6-7 feet. These are NOT drifts. That is the blanket amount. Had an above ground pool at the time and snow was so high you couldn't see it. Hard to understand unless you're in it.
You lien
I had a helicopter in my yard you couldn’t see it
It was so cold that February that my kids school was closed for negative 22° wind chills. Lived in Buffalo all my life, just moved out to Arizona. I do not miss shoveling my car and my neighbors car, the sidewalk and driveway and then driving 40 minutes to work.
Bless you, bro. Be safe.
@@user-nu4cr1bh7m 716 is home but I don't blame you lol
Jason You aint never lie.
This reporter’s cadence is fantastic
Hey
Wow, that a lot of snow!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
MSNBC is reporting that all these white out conditions are the result of white supremacy
I love it! I grew up in Port Colborne 18 miles from Buffalo and I miss snow like this. However it is important to get it off your roof.
I live on the 5th story of a buiding
Hey
@@danrook5757 It sounds like the potential for a Twin Towers event to me.
@win shadow Type "Storm of the Century Blizzard of '49" into YT to see a winter blizzard that makes this one look like child's play. It interviews survivors and shows actual footage.
@win shadow can we have a brief conversation
Stay safe Buffalo!! 🙏
Thanks bro
Hey
Good luck to you all out there. Be safe
Hey
Just like the good old days! Congratulations Buffalo
Hey
I live in Great Lakes region too and we’ve had lots of snow… but damn. Lol. Poor Buffalo.
Hey
People who must go to work in this, police, fire, rescue, linemen, and health care workers please stay safe!
I used to live in the Northeast and I just couldn't take the winters. The anxiety of having to get up early and scrape the snow and ice off my car, shovel the driveway and then driving to work in that mess kept me up all night. Now, I just sit back and love watching these winter storm videos from my home in Phoenix, AZ. 😂
Someone who relishes in the hardship for others. Do you cheer when there are earthquakes or tsunamis too? Nice.
@@Over-for-now That's easy.. they won't have too.... power lines go down in way less snow than this. So no power, no bills (I'm being sarcastic, of course), I've yet to hear of the power outtages, but you know it's always a bummer when it snows heavy... I pray for everyone who lives in NY.
Great article. I like watching snow storms.
Hey
he's literally a snowman
Hey
I grew up in northern Siberia, this is a drizzle compared to the massive dumps I'm used to. I don't miss it!
Hey
My great grandfathers died of starvation in Siberian prisons. I hope yours didn’t build them. It’s winter in Canada. Be prepared.
Whoa
@@dorothywillms115 but this news report was filmed in the states
@@BasilMinhas yeah,,,,,been there,,,,not far from Niagara Falls. They got it in southern Ontario too. I live in the north west. Not sure where you are but no worries.
Thank you and be safe Anthony ❤
Hey
Walking on his knees?
I moved from Buffalo to Nova Scotia back in January between back to back snowstorms.. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that godawful weather anymore.
You do realize that Nova Scotia is a not-infrequent target of hurricanes?
Now that's an odd move to make!
@@danieldickson8591 I do. we just went through Fiona in Halifax. I still prefer it here though. Driving bans mean nothing to most employers in Buffalo. They expect you to risk your life for work. The storms aren’t always as terrible of course, but the roads still get pretty dangerous in only a few inches. If I have to take my chances regardless, I’d still choose NS.
@@ALuimes It was due to a work transfer :) But we absolutely love it here so it has been completely worth it.
I'm from Buffalo suburb of Buffalo and we handle it very well the big thing is to stay off the road you don't want to get stuck not good other then that it's a part of our lives just stay safe and be smart
I was a teen during the Blizzard of '77. So with Global News's melodramatic "potentially-historic snowstorm" click-bait, this had better be historic stuff...oh drama queen reporters.
That reminds me of the London snowstorm in 1977
London Ontario, or London UK?
@@Shonade_Malik London Ontario.
@@Shonade_Malik No blizzards in the UK.
Winnipeg, 1966
Hey
I can’t wait for that here in Minnesota! I think we had one or two good snow falls last year. Usually it’s just a few inches which is nothing. It’s usually too cold to snow here. In New York they have the right temp to create all that snow.
they cancelled winter here in Minnesota we are going right into spring, "after Christmas"
We don’t have the real Minnesota winter this year 😢
Here snow is a bad four letter word lol
Minnesota is on the wrong side of the Great Lakes. Lake effect snow can still happen in very frigid temps.
@@SherlocckHolmez Here on the Southern Gulf Islands off of the west coast of Canada we have the Pacific Ocean that keeps our winters mild and wet
I think 1977 still has the historic title....
We live on Prince Edward Island in Canada and we still have a green grass and not even a gram of snow.
Grew up in Wiarton. I now live in the city and my kids will never truly understand what a "real" snowstorm is 😂 most days you couldn't even make it from your driveway to the sidewalk on foot. Hope they all stay safe and warm!
Hey
This is not historic for N.Y. or Buffalo , It snowed several times like this in the 1960's and in the 1970's . I know because I was there.
OMG....we used to pray for snow like this when we were kids growing up on the B.C. coast!....LOL....the child in me is jumping for joy and getting out my "cardboard" toboggan!
👋
A bit of flurries compared to the 1985 blizzard, known as the Six Pack Storm.
I was in Buffalo at School in 85. Thought it was the year before but yeah, couldn’t go anywhere the snow was so deep
👋
@@chippychick6261 👋
Wow! That's impressive! I'm a Northern Canadian. I'll say that's a Rocky mountain dump, I would be jealous of, if I still mountain sledded. Good luck my southern friends 🇨🇦
Hey
Northern Canada is a desert.
@@JewelBlueIbanez what?
This is a lake effect snow so I'm not surprised.
Wow. We're next in Canada
Too much of that snow can be dangerous. I saw a home got their roof caved in.
Say the centmeters but please.follow up with feet & inches. Thanks.
Google it!
Or watch an American broadcast rather than a Canadian one. Since, after all, the United States is one of only three countries worldwide who DOESN'T use the metric system.
Why?
It’s a Canadian network!
USA is one of the few countries who haven’t yet learned to use the metric system!
Now what would it take to get a foot of snow in Kansas? Lol I got super excited for half an inch we got earlier this week. I can’t imagine getting feet of snow
Hold that thought
Hey
Since when do we measure snow in centimeters?
Canadian program
I can send you to an easy metric converter. Most of the world uses the metric system.
Have you ever left the US?
100 centimeters is roughly 3 feet. I learned that in grade school in Illinois
Oh, right. Global is in Lackawanna
Any tent spots available down by the lake, do I need reservations or is it first come first serve? What kind of tent stakes should I bring?
That’s amazing! First thing I thought of is , how do emergency vehicles get through?
Hey
They have these big vehicles called snow plows that clear the roads. Sometimes hard to
Keep up in a blizzard, but they work around the clock clearing snow and sanding roads. It’s just part of winter up north.
They struggle. Don’t have a fire or heart attack. Read a book. It’s gonna be OK come spring.
Nice beautiful snow ❄️🌨️ need it
Every country dries up shorten water 💦🌊
Just like the storm of 1979. I was a kid then but I’ll never forget it
Great reporting 👏 I really enjoyed this video
Looks like the world is getting more extreme, like heatwaves are getting more frequent and longlasting and snowstorms are getting more severe than ever before.
People don't understand statistics it's all "my grandpappy said he remembers..blah blah blah.
Drought in Boston killed 40% of my garden" I've had for 30 years
That is exactly what is happening
No it was worse in the 70s. Snow like this was every winter and we got it in the Toronto area just like that. Look it up the media scared us saying the next ice age has begun.
Yes, just as climate scientists predicted for a hundred years.
@@loulou007eddie2, the world's rivers are drying up, gigantic fires rage across the world, massive hundred-year floods every year. Not normal.
With all due respect...
Buffalo has been getting events like this one, year over year, for over 20 years.
You might as well be reporting on RAINfall in the Amazon Jungle.
The impact of more snow than normal is still worse than normal.
I live in Buffalo. We don't get this every year. 2014 is the only year that had this amount of snow. And this year might even beat that when this is over
That’s a lot of snow
🇨🇦we have had squalls line up on our city london Ont like this. A few miles away green grass.
Of 195 countries, the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia are the only three who have not adopted the metric system. Canada, where this network and broadcast are based, uses the metric system.
I figured that might help people who keep asking why they measure in centimeters and not inches.
👋
That's a lot of global warming in one spot so early in the season
Shhh! The other seasons that don't get sno will get offended, so don't you talk!...and nomo bankin' 4U neither cause you are gonna get sood like Alex Jones. Disney needs to put plastic snow mountains in Florida. Only way to make leftovers from the past right.
@@daniellecamp8938 Save us John Kerry! Please, save us all! You too, Al Gore!
Wuz up with that
So you don’t understand how global climate change works?
Okay!
👋
That’s a normal day in Canada 😂
Can we have a brief conversation
That's why i live in Vancouver.
When i want to see snow...i look up to the North Shore mountains...not my driveway.
👋
How many inches is that???
Here I am on the west coast of Canada.. with a new snowblower. and no snow yet…. Please be safe everyone
Big names in sports: we don't want to play for teams in Canada, too cold.
Buffalo NY : I'M I JOKE TO YOU.
Sheessshh...
HIS PHONE 💀💀
I live in Buffalo n.y in the 70s I love the snow as a child. Oa I can say is go Buffalo. 🥶🌩🌬❄☃️
O my.😮
OMG....REMINDS ME OF THE SNOW WE GOT IN THE 50 WHEN I WAS LITTLE. IT WOULD FORM A CRUST AND WE WALKED ON IT AND GO DOWN THROUGH. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU HUN. I SEE SPITS OF SNOW OUTSIDE BUT NOTHING MAJOR. FATHER HELP THEM WITH THE SHOVELING. LORD PLEASE SEND THEM HELP WITH SHOVELING AND THANK YOU FOR HEALING THEIR BODIES....THEY SO NEED YOU LORD. SEND HELP THEIR WAY.💕🙏🤯😭
Calm down! Don’t have a heart attack. God is in control.
Back in the '70s you guys got the same snow it's all evolution it's not global warming or cataclysmic freezing it's just the way the world spins
What do you mean by “evolution”?
@@bensmyth450 well Ben did you graduate in the last like 6 years you don't know what evolution is. Evolution is the concept of time that we all grown up with dates back to millions of years. So we've had dinosaurs and all kinds of things on this planet that we live on. I'm 56 years old I remember snow banks in Iowa being 12 ft tall and then it got warm and not so much but is in the evolution or the as the world evolves every 50 to 60 years the world gets hot and it gets cold glaciers melt they cool down the water which makes it snow more which you can see right now because New York's getting 5 ft of snow and it'll get bad for about 5 years and then it'll even out and it'll get hot again as it evolves. So does that explain it enough for you there bucko
It's different cycles which has been happening since the earth got an atmosphere. also, the universe is made up of carbon so there I no carbon crises only propaganda
The world spins a lot dumber than it did in the 70s...that's de-evolution
@@jamesbroderick9106 I appreciate your poor summary of the theory (you left out natural selection), but I know what evolution is. What I didn't understand is how you thought it was relevant. A large body of data highly suggests that the changes in Earth's climate in recent decades (including the 70s), such as more intense storms, are a direct result of human activity. It makes a lot of sense: Where did all our manufactured, industrial waste go? Well, it didn't disappear. It just got too big, and now it's messing with complex Earth systems. I suppose you could say that climate change is the biggest consequence of human evolution, and if that's what you meant, then I agree with you.
Buddy’s kneeling lol
if it snows here I hope I get stuck at home not work.
In other words they're getting a blizzard in winter.
Except winter is still officially about a month away. Be that as it may, Buffalo usually gets pounded like this in the fall every 5 to 10 years or so.
@@mayavenuemisfit814 well we'll just have to tell God and mother nature that they're supposed to abide by the dates that man set lol. 🙄 Bless your heart
The snow belt has added some notches.
WOW WOW WOW... TO MUCH SNOW,,, OOOH MY GOD.
We need that here
That guy's legs are 4 feet long? Wow!
I live in bracebridge and we have gotten about a foot so far
Poor guy. Thx for your sacrifice and dedication.
👋
Why not truck some of the snow to the ski resorts in the east,
I thought a buffalo buried in thick snow xD
Take care of you all
Didn't they get 6 feet of snow back in 2014? It will have to be more to be historic! Gotta love these over exaggerated titles.
Gotta 🧠 wash the climate crisis 🐑.
@@jimbeam2705 I never liked the term “crisis.” Of course it is a real and observed effect, but it’s less of a crisis, more of an impending doom with great variability and uncertainty
Christmas 2001 was roughly the same amount. My family came for dinner and ended up staying for three days
@@jimbeam2705 climate has been changing ever since birth of planet earth.
Locking down the whole planet for a month can really screw up weather patterns. When you hear about countries never seeing the stars at night before lockdowns gives you an idea what it can do to weather systems.
Just having aircraft grounded worldwide reduced pollutants in the atmosphere.
So, weather got a shock for sure.
👋
Historic? How long have you been keeping weather records?
Lets see how long the electricity stays on
What is the windchill temperature? I live in montana, Friday morning at 5.00 am, we had 2 below farinhight, windchill was 19 below.
Hey
Real temp is in the 20s. Real feel around 15 so not too bad. It’s just the volume and weight of the snow. It’s at my waist and more to come. It’ll get a little colder tonight. Go Bills!
SNOW ❄️ REALLY IS A +++OLE HIGH TO A TALL INDIAN!!!!!!!!!
It's not slowing down. It looks heavier.
Ridiculous putting these people's lives at such risks the camera crew the driver the reporter the
Yeah, especially the
They’re reporters, not people.
Its their job, if they didn't want to take the risk they wouldn't be in that profession
@@abcxyz-io7wt
So it’s impossible to report on the weather from a studio?
@@gorillaguerillaDK
That would not be as dramatic. Lol
so what's the problem ???
Don't mess with mother nature
Is this a repeat of the storm that hit in Feb of 1978? Hopefully not!
No, this is a repeat of the lake effect storm we had in 2014. The blizzard of 1977-1978 was a week long storm with constant strong winds.
Not nearly as much snow as this storm, but it was blowing around, causing whiteouts and drifts. I was in high school at the time. We had off more than a week of school!
👋
No snow in NS
The poor reporter is going to become the snow man! Here in north eastern BC we haven’t had rain since July 3rd and only a skiff of snow. Stay safe everyone!
I say they need more snow Like we head in 1970s,, at least 12 More feet!
Damn imagine the gnar gnar pow pow there is to shred up there
We got snow in Texas. It’s too early for snow.
👋
So sorry for the people.

My boss told me to come in for work in this. I ended up needing a $600 tow.
Good day. do you need help?
When I lived in Rhode Island there were a few big snow storms. I was in elementary school one year and I remember my mom opening the front door and there was a wall of snow literally. There were more storms like that through the years. We never had a car but taking the public bus was always challenging and impossible when it was real bad. So when ever school started again I still wasn't able to go because 1 it was a very far walk also because of the bus situation. Luckily the school understood the situation I was a happy camper that got to play and help out clearing our sidewalks.
I’ve been to Providence Rhode Island twice both times in the summer. It doesn’t get as much snow as buffalo does it? I’ve been told their snow storms vary.
@@DrystHawk Hello. Correct...In the 29 years that I lived in Pawtucket, we rarely saw accumulations such as in other states and there on Buffalo. But there were a hand full of years that we had to dig ourselves out the front door because it was knee high and it blocked the door. Crazy kinda miss it kind dont ya know. Anyway stay safe and happy holiday's.
@@bambina320 I absolutely loved Rhode Island when I went. I thought the city of Providence was incredibly beautiful and obviously historically beautiful. I’m actually born and raised in Kansas and I can honestly say the snow wouldn’t bother me a bit. If I ever get the chance to move out of Kansas.Rhode Island would be my place to go live.
WTH is 135 cm?
4'5"
1.35 meters.
I know, I just found the reporter to be annoyingly pretentious. We're in the US, not Europe or Canada. And yes, I know that Canada is close by.
Ask seri, she knows
Why the f is Canada incessantly reporting on this? We must have more important news than this
Thanks for saying snow amount in centimeters!
Canada, where this broadcast originates from, is one of 192 countries in the world who uses the metric system.
Warmer lakes make more snow.
F that! Good job I'm not where near it.
Crime is down snow is up😂

Wish we would get this in Georgia
If 1 inch is a total state of emergency, I'd be afraid to think 36 or 48 inches.
@@apextroll I agree but still would love to see it. I experienced one of these in Chicago when I was stationed in the Navy............ Impressive all that can be said
@@chrishamby4440 Buffalo is the place to be for lake effect snow. There are plenty of documentaries on historic storms. I remember in the 70's, snow drifts would go right over your house. If something like that occured in the south, it would be beyond crazy.
Atlanta shuts down for snow flurries. I'd hate to see what they would do if this happened down there.
