WNash Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I would be swallowing an uzi if I lived in downtown Buffalo. But you would get to see the snow wall! (sarcasm) I've been looking at this f//cking snow wall from North Campus all day. I have a sixth floor office with an unobstructed view to the south. The northern extent of the band was literally at my block early this morning: there was about twenty seconds of white out, and then back to nothing. EDIT: Let me note that I'm actually getting a mild sun burn sitting at my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u watch that radar loop I believe the highest totals will come out of Elma. But I'm not too far off, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. Lackawanna/West Seneca/Lancaster/Elma/OP are going to have highest totals. Not sure what we have here, but its a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
