Buffalo In State Of Emergency After Massive Snowfall | NBC News
At that time I was living in a apartment complex in Blasdell. When it quieted down , I remember everyone from my building came out and cleaned the snow off every car parked in the area. It took us all day but it was worth it. And I’ll never forget all of us sitting in the hallway on the first floor for about a hour. Moments like these make me believe that buffalo truly is the city of good neighbors.
I saw this in Fox news and they blocked they comments I'm like wow they even block comments about buffalo snow lol
Happy New Year hope 2023 is better Year for all
Buffalo born, raised and residing. It wasn't a big deal and we love it when we get snowed in. It's fun.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
5 years later...
UA-cam: check this storm out from long ago
DEVGRU13 lmfao right I thought this was recent news at first then i saw it was 5 years old and was like wtf youtubr
DEVGRU13 wipe ya butt
It looks like Global Warming all over again.
Hardcore Absolute Fact: The $300/Week unemployment will help get Americans through the winter 🥶 ( for teenagers ) but really should go back to the $600/Week until the end of 2021; so Americans can figure out a way to setup online at home jobs while paying their bills to avoid covid19! It is impossible to get businesses to take social distancing seriously Of a RADIUS around each person of no less than 7 feet ( when really it needs to be 20 feet ) since virus spreads and looms in the air for a period of time! 45 year old infrastructure office buildings also do not have virus ventilation systems of air circulation!!!!! N-95 masks are still not available to the public!!!!! Livable wage laws of $24/Hour and up still have not been passed into law being the number one reason poverty is growing in America!!!!!
Unemployment office servers will be crashing again because Americans will be losing unemployment after Dec. 26, 2020 and calling in to resume the $300/Week extra unemployment that needs to be executed before that date!!!!!!!!!! Americans will be calling in raging angry 😡 if they have a gap or get kicked off unemployment during The Pandemic!!!!

It's one month later. Hope you're double-masking. It's just as effective as N95. First, surgical mask with nose strip flattened along your nose & cheeks. Second, cloth mask. I find it more comfortable & easier to breathe than one mask. Don't know why but I'm not complaining. Extra protection against the new variants. Best regards ... Hope this finds you healthy & warm! 🌲 😷 🌲
Why was this video recommended to me 6 years later.
This recommendation is cool for me, Im From Buffalo & remember this well.
Because the recent snow got you to click, thinking these were current events.
Me as well,I guess NBC paid for clicks because no one is watching.
It's been a very mild winter, pretty much coast to coast so the lakes are ice free. That means if we get a real good arctic flow later in the winter the area is primed for another snowstorm like this
b/c it's winter and this was one of the worst storms we've ever had here, and maybe because there was another brutal lake effect storm that hit just a few days ago, not as bad as "snowvember", but still bad. I'll always have fond memories of it. I'm 18 now. The storm that we got a few days ago was bad, but since the temps are warming back up again, they'll keep the lakes from freezing again, and if we get another arctic blast of air, we're done for. xD
0:58 "It's been DEADLY", as the cameraman zooms out to the snowman behind the reporter.
It was the craziest storm I've ever seen... kinda weird to see buffalo on national news tho😂😂
Moosic Is life plz dont call us irrelevant
the buffalo bills are trash
Damien Parker the Christian truther not really... better than the sabres😂
crazy doesn’t even feel likes it’s been that long lol
Ikr 😂
These storms are so much more amazing and incredibly enjoyable then the news makes them out to be
We were lighting fireworks, nothing better than beautiful huge red to blue Chrysanthemum breaks🎆 lighting up a nearly solid white sky🇺🇸.
Fr. We were out of school for like a week
People have died. It's going keep snowing.
Wow three years ago..... I remember that like it was just yesterday
Heavy Dirty Sauce I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years next week!!
@@ryanhunneshagen3704 indeed!
Heavy Dirty Sauce and I’m seeing this comment another year later
Dont wanna hear about never having a snow day.
I remember watching my dad shovel out a little hole for the dog to go out I saw my little chicken of a dog trampling through the storm and my mom's work asking if she was still coming to work it really was fun though and 13 year old me had a lot of fun lol
1:16 Teachers be like: U still coming to school right?
😂
ExiledAtol 8778 that is buffalo
Last Man Standing anyone in Western New York
gtapn huh
Last Man Standing I mean the rest of Western New York
This is true the people of Buffalo do NOT scare easily. They are tough when it comes to snow.Chances are the ppl played in the snow. This doesn't scare those who were raised here.Those from Buffalo do go out and help and rescue others stuck in their cars.I give the brave people of Buffalo credit for that
oh they're scared now.
I remember this. I no joke live 12 minutes away from Buffalo and we got 2 inches of snow. This ended up being a cool winter because we definitely got a lot of snow. I love winter time.
Nobody:
UA-cam: Wanna watch a video about a weather emergency 5 years ago?
Nah I was hoping for 13!!! Lmao
Of course, the news said Buffalo, but technically the storm was NOT in the City of Buffalo. I was living in the city of Buffalo during the storm, just north of downtown. We had ONE INCH of snow in the city. The storm was south of the city where most lake effect storms drop the most snow in the area. It's always been that way. The last time the city itself had a big snowfall was Christmas Eve 2001. Seventeen years ago. These were suburbs of Buffalo, but most of the time the city itself rarely gets hit that badly. I've been living in Buffalo since the 1960's.
Yep
Brian Mucha i live in depew ny right outside off buffalo in the suburbs like u said we got 7 feet
I live in south buffalo and we had 7' of snow
South Buffalo got hit bad. 7’ and it was crazy.
Who else lived through this and got a week of a school
I did, was a freshman in high school at the time lol
Hah! Was a teacher at the time.
I got like 6 inches in the northtowns and had week off bc of the bussed
Busses*
Here, video just got randomly recommended to me. It was funny too cause I went to canisius and got a week off school, but lived in Amherst and only got maybe two inches of snow
I been living in Buffalo NY for years and I love it.
The worst storm was the Blizzard of 77.
Its Buffalo and everyone is used to the crazy weather!
I live in Hamburg, we got 7 feet by the end. School was closed from Nov. 18 to Dec.1!
RE14520 No one cares about you.
MegaBall PowerBall No one cares about you either
It was nuts. I got interviewed for the BBC News so my house and my interview made it all the way to London! However, my power went out and I never got to actually see it aired. I just have the archival story from the BBC news.
Megan no one cares about ur sad story.
Holy, my school was only closed the week of
I was in 3rd grade when this happened, and there's nothing better than this for a 3rd grader. Looking back on it there was a lot of good memories from it and sadly this won't happen again for a long long time.
You hyped for this one?
I live 8n buffalo we haven't had beautiful snow like this in some time.we absolutely love this.we would get snow like this every year in the 90s and early 2000s.now were lucky if we get a few inches.It was times like this when humanity is at its best.people helping the elderly is the biggest we would walk around with shovels to help shovel just so they could get in out of there houses.you got kids building elaborate snow forts and sledding off roofs.snow ball fights.its crazy seeing everyone here enjoying the snow after a big storm
This is another reason why I love TEXAS so much!!!!!!!
My thoughts and prayers goes for all the people of Buffalo
My 85yr old grandfather was stuck on the Thruway for the night on the 90. He is still around. I love my home town. I love Buffalo
I will never forget this storm. I jumped off my first floor patio roof into the snow without thinking how I was going to get out.
What happened? Crawled out? Or needed help?
Oof 😅
I love Buffalo blizzards, you stay in, put on pajamas, make some chili or spaghetti sauce and meatballs, smoke a couple joints and get drunk. And if you happen to have a girl at the time, its nothin but video games, netflix and grabass.
coldsake07 ya, sounds nice, comfy jammies, I'll remember to get stuff to have on hand to make chili, thx lol
Well that's cause we keep stuff on hand......
coldsake07 Sounds good to me. I’m from LI we never ever get it like you guys.
coldsake07 I’m about an hour south of Buffalo and got 7 feet of snow during this storm
that took the fattest turn so fast
Who’s watching this during quarantine excited for winter👀😭
I hate winter
I actually enjoy these random UA-cam recommendations. They are like time capsules.
I see the UA-cam algorithm has brought us all together again...
I remember moving there that year. We went over Niagara river and I saw white and thought it was land! It was 90% or more frozen! Then got picked up and there was snow everywhere! Then summer came and didn't realize we had a grill in the backyard!!
Hamburg is the town I live in. The news that night said “maybe a foot”. We were hoping for a snow day, we got a snow month because of structural concerns at the school. Just the way that it looked, there’s a rooftop camera on one of the taller buildings downtown that showed the lake, usually could see out a good ways. Instead, just a white wall for a couple of days straight. Absolutely amazing, but got annoying when we were eating Mac and cheese for dinner every single night😂
I remember being stranded at the Statler downtown. News cameras were zooming in us the next morning as we slept in the lobby. Anyone remember that? Blizzard of '77
Kalob Berg wow. I also live in Hamburg. Which school is it?
It’s 2019 and I’m watching this. I remember that day like it was yesterday, We couldn’t take our trash to the dumpster and it was hard to walk our dog. It was below 0 degrees last week, it was 60 degrees a few days ago and today it’s 35 degrees. The B in Buffalo stands for Bipolar
How long was the power out
Lol. Come to Toronto, a step further
XD
@@sm3675 it only snows 35 inches per season in Toronto fool, Buffalo 3 times that amount
@@SxpremeTestify buffalo on top
When you lived in Tonawanda and you literally got nothing
Tay Bish lol north towns
Tay OMG SAME!! I'm just excited because Tonawanda lmao
Frank is not hot I JUST MOVED OUT OF TONAWANDA WHAT
That was the craziest part of it... I lived in Hamburg, 10 miles north and it was a couple inches and functioning everyday life. Just weird.
Tay I was in North Buffalo and could still see the grass on my lawn under a dusting of snow.
Yes we Buffalo people are Great !!!! We deal with the snow and we know how to prepare for it and drive in it and what we need to do to stay safe and help our neighbors.....
I remember living in Rochester in '93 when they had a killer ice storm - upwards of 4" of freezing rain, it took out so trees, even many massive old trees, powerlines, everything. Snapping tree branches would sound like cannon fire all around, and we listened all night. To clean up the mess they used mulchers and dump trucks and they dumped the wood chips in mountains onto grocery store and shopping plaza parking lots all over the city. Free mulch for everybody that year, but they lost about 1/4 of their trees. People who live along the Great Lakes are used to lake effect snow accumulations, and usually their pantries stay well stocked through the winter.
Prayers go out to the city of Buffalo and the people who are stuck out on the highways and the people who are snowing inside their house is made everyone be safe this holiday season Merry Christmas
this video was 8 yrs ago so this is nothing new
I kinda miss the blizzards that used to occur.
Not much snow over 2 and a half years
I seem to recall that in the "lee" of Lakes Erie and Ontario, there were snowfall totals of 6-8 feet, but 10-15 miles away from the lakeshores, there was hardly any accumulation!
Correct I live in Amherst north of the city and got a dusting
😇 My children and I were there 😇
Came up from Cleveland through Hamburg into Buffalo.
The Snow was absolutely amazing.
Max and Sisley Ingram will always remember snowvember 2014.
Met our match???? I dont think so. Good chance to get caught up on my DVR recordings and all the frozen food!!!
Lol. I live in the Buffalo area. People had days to plan for this. We knew it was coming. My Mom and I went out and basically bought a second Thanksgiving meal and then some. Bought a huge amount of food at Wegmans and made sure the pipes wouldn't freeze etc. I got aired by the BBC News and told them people had days to plan for this and we were told it would be a monstrous storm. I was quite comfy at home. Not to say there weren't concerns like a tree hitting the house, but we made as many preparations as possible. This is the storm that also made them put railings down on the highway. Now, there was a trucker who came in from Quebec and it wasn't his fault he got caught in his cos he had no idea, but these other local yocals out on the roads when they were told not to go out put firefighters' lives on the line because they didn't follow rules.
sensationalist news always tries to hype it up
@@relaxandrefocuswithmegan I don't think you watched anything. I watched the news and at most Hamburg was forecast to get 28 inches, Cheektowaga, where I live, SEVEN inches, not that number in FEET. They got the forecast completely wrong and we had no forewarning that it would be this bad.
Oh my goodness that is a lot of snow in Buffalo.
There were still piles of snow in July.
RMW there was only still in September near where I live. It was in the old plaza on French and union
Both comments here are dumb snow was gone before March and this happened in November how was their snow in September ( I lived through this in Hamburg )
@John Ruth no idk where that came from but I do remember the rest of the snowy season being very lacking in snow
@@mrwhit8859 get your facts straight bud. He said the PILES of snow were still there in July and maybe even past that. All that snow dug out had to be put somewhere. It doesn't disappear overnight.

I drove up from DC on this night and missed the storm by a few miles. Batavia, where I was staying is 41 miles east of Buffalo and that night still had green fields with only a dusting of snow. watching local Buffalo that evening 9 feet of snow had fallen in some neighborhoods. Crossing the Thruway you could see lines of snow covered trucks and cars stuck, abandoned. It looked like a scene that Stephen king would have dreamed up.
That guy driving around with the 6 foot drift on top of his car is supposed to clear that stuff off. It's illegal to drive like that!!
No it isn’t! It’s highly encouraged and enhances arodienamicks. lol /s
I am calling the police on him right now
XD
i live in Buffalo NY
sorry to hear that....just kidding !
Same
Derek Conrad they doin just fine
Same
Brian Seamon yup same
I'm from Ohio and I went up to clear snow in this storm. It was crazy being there and seeing it all these years later
If you lived in South Buffalo we got the worst
Karoline Koerner we sure did!
Yep, North Bflo got 0.0. Had to venture out to see the snowfall ❄ for myself. Headed a couple miles down S. Park Ave. Once I'd seen plenty, I proceeded to make a 3 point turn out of there but failed to negotiate the maneuver and hit a bank of plowed snow 🙃. Ended up with front end damage to my mini van 🚐. Should've left well enough alone and let the pics and newscast suffice. 😮😮😮
I lived on Melrose at the time .
we sure did.
Are u single... Im in Buffalo
Oh yea lmao, I remeber walking down the middle of South Park to the store and it was just cars and semi trucks piled on the road
Almost moved to Buffalo thirty years ago. So happy God kept me here in N.W. Indiana. Great upload. That certainly is a bunch of snow. 6 feet. Plus 3 feet equals 9 feet. Yikes, at a loss for words. Please stay safe🙏.
I thought this was 2021🤔. Oops
Makes me grateful that I live in Florida. God help all these people up north, and in California.
Its easy to handle snow like this im actually glad i live in buffalo so i wont have to deal with hurricanes and tornados
@@lifewithicisss994 Yes, you make a good point. 🤣
I'm in Memphis. And while we aren't like Buffalo, we aren't like Tampa either. As far as winter climate goes. I live east of Memphis, and the average temperature in January is 39°F with a high of 49°F, and a low of 29°F. With around 4 inches of snow per winter.
“Unprecedented never before seen historic…” except literally every year.
Once every 6 to 10 years we get decent sized storms here in Buffalo. This year's the first time we've gotten 2 within the same season though.
Love the snow!!!❄️❄️❄️❄️.... Everyone helping each other. No one being rude!!! God bless all of you....🙏🙏🙏...
I think a few decades ago some of our Toronto snow ploughs shuffled off to Buffalo for a few days. I don't remember which year.
Bruh why was this recommended 7 years later. Thought it just happened
$10 an hour to clean six feet of snow LMAO
Ummm , ok recommended 6 years later
Ikr
Prayers for folks in the snow storm.
Oh wow! My situation doesn’t seem that bad anymore...my thoughts with those who have passed away and the families they leave behind. 🙏😔
He’s still taking direct fire on his NBC helicopter but now he operates out of Nixa, Missouri where he tells people he’s Brian Borne..Jason’s brother.
School: dear parents, classes will still be open tomorrow and we expect all students to come.
Snow melts and my home is still standing😊
This might of happened four years ago but knowing Buffalo I could believe this was yesterday.
Heck at this point it's just a question of "when will it happen again?"
We really do have crazy weather here
I thought this was in 2021 omg until I saw the comments “4 years ago”😂
if this helps, you weren't the only one who thought that lol
Me too. Lol.
@@christopherbetty5017 let's not forget to watch this again in 6 months and go, "OMG, it's happening again"
@Talia Villa I thought it was February of 2021 until they mentioned the two NFL teams that were due to play in a few days. I then thought, "Hey, wait a minute. The Chiefs just played the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl". Then I checked the transmission date. Flag on the play, UA-cam!
Omg do I remember this storm!! I hope I never have to go through it again but living in Buffalo u just never know!! Shoveling snow off our roof top never crossed my mind... having cars abandoned on our street, not being able to get to a store for extra essentials was all very stressful to say the least!!🌨 ❄❄🌬❄❄🥶
Buffalo New York is one of the snowyiest places in the US. In the mountains of Colorado a couple of years ago it snowed past my windows and there where avalanches closing highways.
$10 dollars an hour ? To clean up snow. That's very low
Luis Luna WELCOME TO BUFFALO😂😂😂
20dllrs very good
ha ha ha!!! very funny
I actually wouldn't care if it was that low, lol. Getting paid to exercise? I would be up for it. xD
You know they would pay more if they could not get someone desperate enough to take the $10 he pay. Supply and demand.
They may be thinking with the cv19, they,are being generous to those who had not been able to work, and need whatever inflow of cash they can.
can't believe nearly 2 years ago everything was shut down for 2 ½ weeks
I lived in Orchard Park when this storm hit in " Snovemeber" of 2014. I remember walking through the raging snow and bitting wind chill down Sheldon Road (right by New Era Stadium) almost a mile from my place to get a 30 Pack of beer. I had to stop half way home and crack one open because it was such an arduous walk.
Imagine telling your boss who lives 7 miles away and got 2 inches you can’t get to work 10 miles away..
That's where I live buffalo ny
2:40 “thets are beckyeeiird”
Every time I think of moving back to Buffalo I watch these videos on YT and I'm like "uhhhh no!"
love myself a Buffalo winter. I, it couldn't be summer all year like Florida! The snow changes it up. Go skiing or sledding, make a snow man or make a beer cooler with all of the snow outside your door. Thank god for the changes of seasons.
And I'm watching in 2019 .
People : Screw corona and the quarantine
_snow has entered the chat_
this was 6 years ago lol
I live in buffalo and winter is cold and snowy and icy. But hey we love it
Man, this storm really was pretty fun. A week off school and communities coming together.
I lived through that
Brian Walker same lol
Same
I have no complaints though a few days before it happened my Mom and I basically bought Thanksgiving food at Wegmans so we were really set. Our power went out though and these guys came around 9pm to get out power back on. We have a 6 ft high fence around my yard. Well, the guys just stepped over the top like it was nothing.
Brian Walker me too
Same in Leadville Colorado
NY, I live in the hot deep humid South (Georgia). PLEASE give us some of your snow!
no. and now that we know you want it we're hiding it. P.S it's not in the freezer *slowly closes freezer door*
We could if we would 😂 we have more than enough to ration
Bruh your whole state shut down with less then one inch of snow lmfao
I live in Buffalo and lived on the northern end of downtown, maybe
3-5 miles away from where this happened. We literally had a dusting! A dusting! And never saw a flake from that storm lol. You could see the wall cloud it was that close, but again we never saw a flake in my part of the city. Thats lake effect snow for you! They're like tornados in a way, one street is desimated and the next untouched.
I remember the thundersnow. Scared the crap outta me, but it was cool af. The worst part I think was old people losing their heat. My grandma had to stay with us because we had our power back before she did. I had to take care of my aunt's birds too. Not that I minded.
Ahhhhh snowvember
I miss the snow even though it can be dangerous❄⛄
That is some great reporting. Thank you for your excellent work.
Um, california needs this snow desperately..
Never
haha.
it’s not funny during this time, is it?
Yes they do
D G California doesn't snow just in the valley resorts only compare to other states we have a summer all year
Sprixx 3D I use to live in Midwest I know how it feels like have u tried living in midwest or east during snow storm
Wow, I remember this. I wonder how the dialysis and chemo patients dealt with it. : (
It was mandated for doctors and nurses to get to the hospitals. One woman went into labor and they delivered her baby girl at a fire station after getting her through the snow.
I live in buffalo I remember having 2 weeks off when this happened
get that everynight here in the rockies...except this year...no snow...feels like spring should be sub zero where i live but its abnormally warm
LORD ALMIGHTY BLESS THE HOMELESS DURING THESE GIANT WALL OF SNOW.
This was 7 years ago.
I know that Brian Williams sure met his match!!! lol!!!!!
I had a blast in this snow. Dug out our snowmobiles and we were all over the area. For some groceries and did a few beer runs. Was awesome.
I love being a Buffalonian (if that’s a thing). Snow. I love snow when it doesn’t freeze my fingers off.
Yep, that term is definitely a thing. Lived there as a kid.
Chasbo Daniels thank you!!
I remember this. I was so happy I didn’t have to go school.
Just whatever you do, dont vote Democrat
The " LAKE EFFECT" THEY CALL IT
Yeah. It snows all winter there but the news people dont have any other news so they have wet noodles.
It's what we POLITELY call "Lake Effect" snow. But we often use stronger terms than that.
😇 I 💙 THE BUFFALO SNOW 😇
My children and I were there for this snow storm. It was said near 10' deep Hamburg and south a ways. Bucket loaders not plows 🌨️ 🌨️ 🌨️
I remember that, I was driving my truck there , it was absolutely crazy on Seneca st
this was a week after i left the buffalo airport 0.0
So history repeats itself huh?
I live in buffalo and I can’t believe this was 4 years ago. It feels like yesterday I was crying walking through snow just to get to my best friends house.
Sienna Freidenberg woah. do you go to hs in bufallo? if you do what's it like.
My dad works in Grand island, they didn't get much snow there but there was absolutely no way to get there
Time to pray OH my God have mercy on us and the whole world God bless América!
It's always time to pray. God loves to hear from you.
The Day After Tomorrow in real life!!! W O W
The treadmill finally got a purpose. 🤗
Storms of the 1970s were like that
It was bad but the city got nothing at all 💁🏽♀️
