It's the Stillers; they don't do finesse. I read they have a powerful ground attack and this weather benefits them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most storms reduce the visibility to zero because the wind Buffalo is the snowiest major city in America.. and we always have a lot of wind because we're on the lake We have storms every year where 35 mph wind is blowing snow making visibility zilch Every year Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the reality in OP today. Also and for whatever it’s worth, based on 30 year averages, Buffalo gets less snow than Syracuse, Erie, Pa, and Rochester.

And we hit the qualifications of today's storm every year... I have a storm every year with wind over 35 mph for hours with blowing snow and zero visibility I just got back from walking around a mile and a half around the West Seneca orchard Park border... And yes we have storms like this every single year... Every single year we get hit with something like this with hours of snow and blowing wind reducing visibility to almost nothing That's the Hallmark of lake effect storms.. A lake effect storm is basically a blizzard because it usually comes with a lot of wind off the lake.. the epicenters always a blizzard It always comes with prolonged wind blowing snow and zero visibility Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
