Driving Home During the Buffalo Lake Effect Blizzard.

A 4.5 mile commute home through the core of the Christmas Lake Effect Blizzard over Buffalo NY. Snowfall rates of 2”/hr and winds gusting over 65mph creating pure whiteout conditions. By mid evening roads across the city are becoming heavily drifted and travel is impossible. These conditions raged across the city for 30 consecutive hours.

I grew up in Wisconsin and I remember some crazy ass blizzards, but Buffalo is truly insane

[@mulletover3832]

Great video! That area is amazing. You can be driving on the Thruway and got from sunny skies to whiteout conditions in a few miles.

[@sylviarosario6503]

That is INSANITY too even be outside of your home. I would NEVER place my life in danger, specifically for work, where I am sure the supervisors, managers are home nice and safe.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@pepawg2281]

It looked like a grocery store, and if so, the manager would be the last one to leave. At least that's how I experienced it in my 46 years in retail grocery.

Ok stay home and let us watch this entertaining video😊

[@tightbhole420]

yeah, we know lol

[@MrJojowasaman]

A beauty of a storm, but dangerous.

[@toddfather1971]

Can't tell you how many times I've been stuck in one of these on the way home to Indiana from Massachusetts or vice versa. A couple of times I actually stuck it out and drove through the whole thing but learned my lesson as I got older and just stopped and got hotels

[@johnward6699]

The winds coming off that lake is No joke

[@kirelavpupkin]

Вот это Зима, красота, морозец, скоро праздник Рождество !!!

[@Rainmakers84]

A night not fit for neither man nor beast. Be safe brother.

[@SnakeLady11]

Thanks for this!

[@bluekitty3731]

I don't understand what could be so GD important you need to be on the road during an unprecedented blizzard!

[@BuffaloSnowKing]

Trying to make it home. No travel bans in morning and everyone left for work. Storm hit and everything closed midday. everyone was trying to make it home before dark.

[@emergencyman2362]

​@@BuffaloSnowKingtravel ban was in in place by 9am that morning.

[@DunderMifflinPaperCo.]

@@emergencyman2362That's what he said... no travel bans went into effect in the morning AFTER everyone had left for work. Lack of people meant no customers, no customers led to businesses closing midday. Meaning all those folks who were at work BEFORE the travel bans were in effect had to make it home somehow.

[@hankeysgameing8745]

Some people have to work

[@GiantMeteor2024]

If everyone skipped work every time it snowed, nothing would get done 5 months of the year 😂

[@melindabeerbower504]

😢 I hope you made it home 😮

[@hebneh]

One should be indoors, at home during this - preferably with ample supplies to carry on for several days if necessary. Being outside, even in a vehicle, is not good.

[@SARISS80]

That's why I love my South.

[@redlackawanna]

Yeah, but I bet you deal with way more traffic And congestion

[@515ventures3]

Wow this looks like a clip from Antarctica!

[@dennisandrews8485]

You hear of stories in the news about guys just like this. Found under 3 foot of snow, out of gas and froze to death, details at 11

[@KingSolrac]

Actual question, in these conditions do you just drive 15 mph or however fast until you can see in front of you?

[@ajourney50]

Hey Buffalo, Ontario here. You know better than that. Hope you had an overnight kit in your car. Isn't your insurance cancelled if you're caught driving on closed roads?

[@DunderMifflinPaperCo.]

No... at least not any worthwhile insurance. Besides, if you aren't home when the travel bans are put in effect then what else do they expect you to do? Staying in your car in a blizzard isn't a good answer. Even law enforcement won't hassle you for trying to get home if you were at work when the bans took effect.

[@hankeysgameing8745]

Get new insurance, 😅

[@Alex.Culkin]

I would not drive in that crap

[@garybalanesi610]

Visibility can be the worst of it, Along with the cold.. Get in and warm up.

[@LiLgPnoy15]

Looks cold out there

[@Alex.Culkin]

I would not want this anytime soon spring is my favorite winter is brutal

[@redlackawanna]

at least NO TRAFFIC!!!!!

[@Mehwishnaaz961]
