Buffalo In State Of Emergency After Massive Snowfall | NBC News

[@idirkadric829]

At that time I was living in a apartment complex in Blasdell. When it quieted down , I remember everyone from my building came out and cleaned the snow off every car parked in the area. It took us all day but it was worth it. And I’ll never forget all of us sitting in the hallway on the first floor for about a hour. Moments like these make me believe that buffalo truly is the city of good neighbors.

[@majormediaisparasitic2686]

Hardcore Absolute Fact: The $300/Week unemployment will help get Americans through the winter 🥶 ( for teenagers ) but really should go back to the $600/Week until the end of 2021; so Americans can figure out a way to setup online at home jobs while paying their bills to avoid covid19! It is impossible to get businesses to take social distancing seriously Of a RADIUS around each person of no less than 7 feet ( when really it needs to be 20 feet ) since virus spreads and looms in the air for a period of time! 45 year old infrastructure office buildings also do not have virus ventilation systems of air circulation!!!!! N-95 masks are still not available to the public!!!!! Livable wage laws of $24/Hour and up still have not been passed into law being the number one reason poverty is growing in America!!!!! Unemployment office servers will be crashing again because Americans will be losing unemployment after Dec. 26, 2020 and calling in to resume the $300/Week extra unemployment that needs to be executed before that date!!!!!!!!!! Americans will be calling in raging angry 😡 if they have a gap or get kicked off unemployment during The Pandemic!!!!

[@factsoverfiction7826]

@@majormediaisparasitic2686 It's one month later. Hope you're double-masking. It's just as effective as N95. First, surgical mask with nose strip flattened along your nose & cheeks. Second, cloth mask. I find it more comfortable & easier to breathe than one mask. Don't know why but I'm not complaining. Extra protection against the new variants. Best regards ... Hope this finds you healthy & warm! 🌲 😷 🌲

[@netook8]

It's been a very mild winter, pretty much coast to coast so the lakes are ice free. That means if we get a real good arctic flow later in the winter the area is primed for another snowstorm like this

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

b/c it's winter and this was one of the worst storms we've ever had here, and maybe because there was another brutal lake effect storm that hit just a few days ago, not as bad as "snowvember", but still bad. I'll always have fond memories of it. I'm 18 now. The storm that we got a few days ago was bad, but since the temps are warming back up again, they'll keep the lakes from freezing again, and if we get another arctic blast of air, we're done for. xD

[@brianmucha6426]

Of course, the news said Buffalo, but technically the storm was NOT in the City of Buffalo. I was living in the city of Buffalo during the storm, just north of downtown. We had ONE INCH of snow in the city. The storm was south of the city where most lake effect storms drop the most snow in the area. It's always been that way. The last time the city itself had a big snowfall was Christmas Eve 2001. Seventeen years ago. These were suburbs of Buffalo, but most of the time the city itself rarely gets hit that badly. I've been living in Buffalo since the 1960's.

Lol. I live in the Buffalo area. People had days to plan for this. We knew it was coming. My Mom and I went out and basically bought a second Thanksgiving meal and then some. Bought a huge amount of food at Wegmans and made sure the pipes wouldn't freeze etc. I got aired by the BBC News and told them people had days to plan for this and we were told it would be a monstrous storm. I was quite comfy at home. Not to say there weren't concerns like a tree hitting the house, but we made as many preparations as possible. This is the storm that also made them put railings down on the highway. Now, there was a trucker who came in from Quebec and it wasn't his fault he got caught in his cos he had no idea, but these other local yocals out on the roads when they were told not to go out put firefighters' lives on the line because they didn't follow rules.

Hamburg is the town I live in. The news that night said “maybe a foot”. We were hoping for a snow day, we got a snow month because of structural concerns at the school. Just the way that it looked, there’s a rooftop camera on one of the taller buildings downtown that showed the lake, usually could see out a good ways. Instead, just a white wall for a couple of days straight. Absolutely amazing, but got annoying when we were eating Mac and cheese for dinner every single night😂

[@nobodyknows3180]

I remember living in Rochester in '93 when they had a killer ice storm - upwards of 4" of freezing rain, it took out so trees, even many massive old trees, powerlines, everything. Snapping tree branches would sound like cannon fire all around, and we listened all night. To clean up the mess they used mulchers and dump trucks and they dumped the wood chips in mountains onto grocery store and shopping plaza parking lots all over the city. Free mulch for everybody that year, but they lost about 1/4 of their trees. People who live along the Great Lakes are used to lake effect snow accumulations, and usually their pantries stay well stocked through the winter.

If you live in the north country, have 2 freezers full of food as we did in the Blizzard of 1966, five foot driffs, country back road,one week before plow Came. Plow had giant snowblower on front. Threw snow 70 feet !

[@emergencyman2362]

That was the worst storm I ever been through.

[@emergencyman2362]

It was bad. I live in South Buffalo, which had to be hit by the storm, we were lucky get some breaks in the snow, but either way that was a very bad storm. I hope your father made home ok after the storm.

[@emergencyman2362]

Shayla Quick How much snow did Cheektowaga get? Was as bad as South Buffalo ?

Try living through a CAT 5 Hurricane. Not even comparable.

I live in buffalo I remember having 2 weeks off when this happened

[@raezor82]

Living in Tonawanda, I remember looking outside and seeing nothing but green grass when I first heard about this.

[@ShlisaShell]

Wow, I remember this. I wonder how the dialysis and chemo patients dealt with it. : (

[@relaxandrefocuswithmegan]

It was mandated for doctors and nurses to get to the hospitals. One woman went into labor and they delivered her baby girl at a fire station after getting her through the snow.

I know that Brian Williams sure met his match!!! lol!!!!!

Almost moved to Buffalo thirty years ago. So happy God kept me here in N.W. Indiana. Great upload. That certainly is a bunch of snow. 6 feet. Plus 3 feet equals 9 feet. Yikes, at a loss for words. Please stay safe🙏.

[@sunray8136]

@@rumorady-4566 believe me I get real negative sometimes with the severe weather and cold. But ur body adjusts every season. Like from winter to spring it feels downright hot now at 46 degrees. But summers here are brutal and severely humid. Too many mosquitoes in July which ruins it. I'm moving out of this state some day. We had record snow falls this February. Shoveling all the time.

Buffalo New York is one of the snowyiest places in the US. In the mountains of Colorado a couple of years ago it snowed past my windows and there where avalanches closing highways.

tails doll black no you don't. My mom and my dad got stuck in the snow and my dad froze (still alive) and my mom was very very sick after and we realized that she had cancer. Don't say that

you don't get cancer from being in the snow and you can't "freeze" from that

[@kathleenobrien3473]

I remember the blizzard of '77, this one seemed worst. I was literally snowed in, I couldn't open my doors

[@d.vecchione1734]

I lived through this. We had a week off of school due to snow days.

[@kobyschechter8163]

Did they take away scheduled breaks from you guys? When Hurricane Sandy came through Long Island in October 2012 we were out of school Monday through Friday. Because of it they took away all of February break from us. We didn’t even have Presidents Day off.
