TheCockSportif Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Wow! My parents are in Niagara County still (they are in their 80s now). Thank goodness that they have kind neighbors who will help bail them out from this. Granted, Niagara County, near Lake Ontario, gets a buffer. But, still. An inch of snow and I worry about my dad dying in his driveway. Edited November 17, 2022 by TheCockSportif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just started rolling through the south towns... hope all goes well with your parents but they will be fine as long as they just stay put inside binge watching old rock concerts on Youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be fine most likely, but they are more the NPR crowd. My father still hates rock music. And yet, he's old school and irreverent and fun.

Look like they have combined Buffalo and Watertown as one giant snow receiving city. Which makes sense; most Americans think Buffalo gets the type of snow that Watertown gets. Although this year, they're right. 4 hours ago, djp14150 said: Have communicated with friends and family my sister lives in NT near wheatfield /NT line.

davefan66 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have what looks to be a total of 2.5 to 3 feet. Almost 2 feet overnight. Town did not plow my street last night. Had a tough time snow blowing for my wife to get to work. Certainly not as bad as what others are experiencing. Could not imagine 5’ of snow! Holy schnikes! Hope all are safe.

Draconator Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 My 80 yr old neighbor was out snowblowing his 4 feet of snow in his driveway.

iccrewman112 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The lack of general geographic knowledge of NYS continues, this time from CNN… “Nearly 6 feet of snow has fallen across portions of western New York – numbers considered historic for the area, the National Weather Service said. The town of Natural Bridge, just east of Watertown, has recorded 70.9 inches Saturday morning, which is just shy of 6 feet. Watertown has seen 57.4 inches over the last two days.” Never once have I known anyone to consider Watertown in Western NY. But most think Westchester County is Upstate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 We probably have only 2 feet by me. My blower was jamming up with all the slush, I can’t imagine 6 plus feet in that short amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Question. I assume seeing it's so early in the snow "season" the ground wasn't frozen. Would the totals be even higher if it was or did it just fall so fast/hard that it made no difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a meteorologist, but I would imagine a dumping of this magnitude wouldn't have been impacted one way or the other by ground temperature. I guess it might have lessened it a small amount, like an inch or something...but maybe not. This is one of those things we'll never know.

Bad Things Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'd love it if some of you would share photos or video links to some of the blizzard footage. I moved away from the region a long time ago, but sure remember dealing with these blizzards in the 70's/80's. It was fantastic as a child, but as an adult... not so much. Good luck to all of you up there! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter where the dart lands if it’s not NYC. There is NYC…..and then there is the rest of the state, which is “upstate” of NYC. I have a terrible habit of correcting and informing people regarding that little geography tidbit. I’m sure more than one person has asked themselves “where the hell did that just come from?” when I was done. 🤷♂️ We all have our quirks. .

Big Turk Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) It was a Lake Effect Snow Event, not a blizzard to start with... 6 hours ago, Chef Jim said: Question. I assume seeing it's so early in the snow "season" the ground wasn't frozen. Would the totals be even higher if it was or did it just fall so fast/hard that it made no difference? It wouldn't effect the actual snow totals, that gets measured by instruments. It would however effect the snow depth, as snow that falls at first melted instead of sticking.

Pete Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I read this comment on youtube and thought it was spot on- Slivress Sliver 1 day ago The absolute silence that one experiences sometimes while standing outside surrounded by such a snow storm, is a surreal wonder.
