The place to chase for anything incredible Nor'easter for snow is Worcester. It somehow works out for them every time. Boston a close second. Boston is never in the "death band" but ends up with 2' plus anyway. Third after Boston is Islip Airport here on LI. Somehow that area gets in on any good one that hits LI. Plenty of hotels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 But my hometown Long Beach NY can be awesome too in the rare times when it comes together like Boxing Day 12/26/10. That was ferocious. But it's way rarer than further east on LI or in MA. Any big snow Nor'easter is on a knife's edge for NYC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this has not been conclusively proven, I can tell you that responding in that was... Nuts. I had 6 inches in one hour in that storm and 12 inches for 3 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Buffalo picked up 21.5” of snow yesterday. That was only its 6th day with daily snowfall of 20” or more & its earliest on record. Snowfall records go back to 1884. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedskater Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Meanwhile 5 miles West of the Cleveland football stadium, we got our first real snow of the season a little under 1 and 1/2 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 From southtowns scanner…Jesus… Friendly reminder to turn off your snowblower attempting to clear clogged snow. Don't just leave it on idle, turn it all the way off. Never use your hand, use a stick or a broom handle. A few local people are dealing with amputations today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Don or anyone able to find the data, surprised not to see any dates from late Jan 1977 (the infamous Buffalo blizzard) in that list, what were the amounts then? I remember seeing news stories (out of Buffalo as I lived in range of WBEN etc) talking about six feet of snow and the city cut off etc. Was it more of a wind factor with that, or do you find any missing days there (probably 26th-31st Jan and possibly 1st-2nd Feb). Maybe it evades the list by spreading out a lot of snowfall in 12" type amounts over five days? Looking at that list, I think the Jan 1902 and March 1936 storms were probably entirely synoptic and not lake effect (based on Toronto having similar record amounts on those days, and also inspection of historical weather maps), and the Jan 11 1982 storm was probably a mix of 6-8" of storm snowfall and subsequent lake effect.

I read somewhere only a foot or so fell from the sky but there was feet of powder on the lake that got blown into the land. The wind was really the story in that one and the duration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
