dta1984 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 That cutoff! Man, when the roads get cleared it would be awesome to see a video driving in and out of that area to see the dramatic cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3" here in the west side, only time the band reached my area was yesterday evening when it got started.

BuffaloWeather Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think I have 500 posts just today. I am worn out, I should save some energy for round 2. Thanks for helping me out with the pics ayuud. Those gifs of the band are awesome, thanks for those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just plain beautiful. you cant even know how jealous I am. living in north rochester, we dont really have the environmental capacity for a storm of that nature. Yes, we could one day get a 3 foot noreaster with lake enhancement, but never a 5 foot pure lake thing. enjoy it. take us some more pics. how about a video?

Geos Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just plain beautiful. That's an epic/awesome pic! Spent a lot of time in this thread today. Lot of time at work watching this event! Can't wait to see the pictures come morning. Not sure where you're going to start digging out, but best of luck to you! 217 post today, not bad! Ayuud - you're pictures have been epic today as well!

olafminesaw Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You guys who missed out seem to be pretty mature about it, unlike us "southerners," when we are on a far more forgiving cut off. I guess chalk it up to snow deprivation making us crazy most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 well, hopefully we will all have OUR opportunity this winter. Glad for the folks in souther erie cnty for getting what is probably the storm of their life time. I considered driving there several times. But my old and silly saab gets terrible traction and i would of ended up being a liability for the emergency responders. Not something I need on my conscience. LOL. radar returns are still relentless for just south of the city. I wouldn't be surprised if we break some serious US records with this little storm.

rjvanals Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 This storm deserves a WOW. Having chased lake storms of L. Ontario during my time at Syracuse from 03-07 including the Oswego/Fulton storm of 04 and Parish in 07, this storm is truly something special. I'm so jealous of all you up there and hope everyone in the area gets in on the action over the next few days! Keep the photos coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess chalk it up to snow deprivation making us crazy most of the time. Southtowns/South Buffalo are so much more likely to get a big event that if you choose to live north of the 190, you know you're giving up a significant chunk of annual snowfall at your house. I love snow, but I'm not going to sign up for a way longer commute to get more opportunities for winter weather. And even though I live in a part of town somewhat shielded from LES, I'll still see more snow in the world winters here than I saw in most of the best winters in the NYC area. So missing out on this hurts, but I'll see lots of snow eventually. Not like that in the south, where missing out on a couple events might allow you to get only a trace all winter.

It used to crush me as a kid when I'd walk out of my house in South Buffalo and see the storm clouds to the south and wonder what could have been! But, as an adult, I totally get what you are saying. And you're right, even removed from the heart of the snowbelt, you still see more snow than I do on a yearly basis! After drifting south for a bit, looks like the band is moving back north again. You can see that trend on Cleveland radar as well. Just wanted to say thanks to all the posters for pictures, videos, etc. I should have some good ones to post tomorrow once my family in South Buffalo starts the process of digging out!

KPITSnow Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So what sort of nightmare would this have been if this band set up at 1pm on a Sunday, and the Bills were playing? Can you play a football game in 4 inch per hour snow? No one would have been able to get home as there would already be a foot of snow by the time the game was over. Do the bills have a home game this weekend? I just checked...they do. I wonder what the procedure is to remove possibly 8 feet of snow from the stands.

left_gulley Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Absolutely incredible pics, loops, and updates - thanks guys! I'm a rather talkative guy, but I'm speechless right now. I'm wondering if someone will hit 100 inches by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Tonight and tomorrow's event is still game on. City of Buffalo and it's immediate suburbs, including both areas spared and clobbered in the latest event, should get pounded for several hours.
