Epic event so far, drifts over 7' in places. Amazing stuff that way. Historic for all 5 great lakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 95 minute jeb walk. I maxed out at 1600 viewers, some people even donated lol. They all thought I was insane but I absolutely loved every second of it. I wasn't even cold, just wore my winter hiking gear. I don't think you can see the comments, so ignore the talking. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 With the comparisons to the 1977 Blizzard, is it the length of time with 0 vis that is being used to benchmark? It was also a different type. 5 minutes ago, BuffaloWeather said: Amazing stuff that way. Historic for all 5 great lakes! Unfortunately not for me, its been lackluster and an epic bust locally for my region however its a solid winter storm. For my lake (Huron), its annihilating Parry Sound currently with a dream band. Wish I was in Buffalo rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that bit at the end of your video is exactly what 77 was. This could be worse in many ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy I sub contract for was plowing back then and today while talking with him over the phone I asked if the conditions were like in 77. He told me the winds and lack of visibility was on par with or maybe worse then 77 but the overall impact of the storm won't nearly come close. He said back in 77 the storm took everyone by surprise for the most part which lead to so many stranded people in cars. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 22.3 WAS SET AT BUFFALO NY YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 12.6 SET IN 1976. The 72.0" through December 23rd is the 4th highest figure through that date. Only 1945, 1976, and 2000 had more. Both 1976 and 2000 had a lot more snow during the remainder of winter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 The band shifted north, looks like Niagara Falls getting hit now. Not really a break for the city unless the winds die down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 That band may shift south later today and this evening. At least it gives the city a bit of a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Totals so far, hard to say but going with 9.5" here after measuring in a number of spots. Very difficult with the wind. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Buffalo had 8.8" YTD last year on 12/24... what a difference a year makes (and a favorable wind direction for lake effect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
