Title: WNY Blizzard
Post by: MILLERMANKT on Dec 23, 2022, 02:32 PM
How is everyone holding up ? I hope you're warm and safe . Not much snow here in No. Tonawanda { Nia county } but crazy winds and horrible visibility.  My DIL is an ER nurse at ECMC and rumor has it that they might be stuck there for a few days.  The wife and I are just hanging out at home with the fireplace going. Stay safe everyone !

Haven't heard any news recently about the Buffalo area  I hope they're doing ok and crawling out from all that snow  With these temps and wind I'm sure they're getting another dose  Let's all wish them well and a Merry Xmas

Mostly grass showing here near Letchworth state park. Sunny, breezy, 15 degrees. However the 4 degrees last night was the last straw for the battery in my truck. Just clicked.  Slapped the charger on it, good for now.

My daughter’s flight was supposed to leave Buffalo tomorrow morning at 5:20.
Nope!
Airport announced they are closed till 7am Monday.
We won’t see Kelly for Xmas this year.
She said she’ll grab a voucher and come down in February during the mid-winter break.  She’s a school teacher.

View from my front door today. That is a Jeep Cherokee. Wind dropped down to 33 mph now and snow swung back down. Predict 12 more inches. Power came back on last night.

 What a difference 12 hours made.  The snowband moved north and we got pounded.  My truck is buried in a 4ft drift and kept getting my side x side stuck trying to plow.  Didn't make a dent in it.  Will try again in the morning.  Luckily we didn't lose power.  My son is spending the night because of his carbon monoxide detectors going off and clear vents. Better safe than sorry
Merry Christmas to all

Yikes !

We have barely a coating on the ground. What a difference 60 miles makes. Hope you can get dug out soon.

15* and breezy here.

This is a very old picture. Been circulating since the first 7 foot snowfall in Buffalo 2017 or 18 whatever year it was

A friend of mine stated the area got 92.7".
Here was my reply -


Airport has the most at 49" this morning. Saying it might top 60" for this storm when the snow stops later today or tonight. The 92.7" is for the season to date, but still more than enough for everyone for sure. Warmer temps in another couple days will help melt a lot of it and give some relief to those without power. It will also help the crews working to get rid of it, the power and water guys repairing things, etc. Yep, there's the flooding issue too with the melting. Hopefully, the melt will be slow enough to help keep the flooding to a minimum. The ground wasn't frozen yet, so that should help with some of the absorption. The warm ground is what is keeping my son Chris' house pipes from freezing. His main floor and 2nd story are 40 degrees, but the basement is at 50 degrees. Stay warm my friend. If it helps any, we have only gotten as high as 47 the past few days down here in Southern Florida. Only going to 54 today. This storm was massive and effected the entire country as it moved across. But Buffalo did get pounded.

In the city of Buffalo the uncivilized savages are looting. Sports apparel store, beer, TV's, furniture, cash registers in businesses, even dollar stores. DISGUSTING!

It's over. People are regressing back into wild animals. It makes me very sad thinking about where mankind has gone in the last 50 years.
