  • Ground zero #blizzard conditions in Downtown Buffalo with winds gusting up to 79 mph. Travel ban is in effect. Forecast models now show over 80 inches of snow possible by Christmas. The seiche or Great Lakes storm surge continues to cause major flooding along the eastern tip of Lake Erie. This is the most extreme blizzard I have ever covered, and it is just getting started. Stay safe everyone.

    My parents lived in the Buffalo area during the Blizzard of '77. My dad agrees with your observation: This is a once-in-a-lifetime event!! He said that this blizzard is right on par with, if not worse than, the Blizzard of '77!
    Even then, my dad, being a true Western New Yorker, wanted to take a walk in the blizzard today. XD Of course, my entire family refused to let him, and he listened! Even my aunt, his brother's wife, said no to him going on a walk in this weather!
    So far, our power hasn't gone out here. However, I've heard reports of entire trees down on power lines on one of the major side roads across town from us, and trees on power lines along one of the parks in our town! I hope everyone in Buffalo is staying indoors and staying safe!!

    This is crazy. Wow!
    We’ve not had a single flake of snow so far this winter here in my part of England. Some areas have but not here.

    That about as dangerous as it can get. No visibility. Please be careful we need you around for future storms. May God hold you in the palm of His hands.
