canderson Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Honest question: How do they remove that much snow? Physically, how can they have enough front end loaders to clear the roads and dump it somewhere within a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thing of beauty That is truly amazing. I've always wanted to see a time lapse shot like that, so thanks for posting it! Sun has been out all day here in western Monroe County. About 2" of snow on the ground. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Honest question: How do they remove that much snow? Physically, how can they have enough front end loaders to clear the roads and dump it somewhere within a week? I'll pay them to bring it down here and dump it in Fairfield. There probably is enough snow to give the entire town a solid 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physically, how can they have enough front end loaders to clear the roads and dump it somewhere within a week? Friend of mine posted this on Facebook, she lives in South Buffalo. The chain broke on the front end loader trying to pull the snow plow out of a drift: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Could this break any 24 hour snowfall records? 24 hour US record is from Colorado, 75.8". It was exceeded by Montague on the Tug Hill in NY (77" I believe), but that record was not considered official by the NWS due to the way it was measured I read. These totals are high, but I don't think they'll be quite that high. Edit: just read that Adams, NY holds the official NY record at 68". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownweather Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 HRRR and RAP models continue to insist that the heavy snow band should start its southward migration towards the Boston Hills and points south within the next hour or two. Radar loops, however, continue to tell another story with the firehose of snow coming off of Lake Erie and that band doesn't seem to be budging. Oh, also both HRRR and RAP still bring that band back to the north very late tonight into tomorrow morning all the way north through metro Buffalo and the northtowns.
