But Al Gore said [Global Warming expert], it wasn't going to snow anymore (never again) and the ice caps in the Arctic are melted already (in 2020)!!🤥🤥
Subbed, Holy Moly!!
Done
What are you driving?
Never ceases to amaze me that people are warned way ahead of time concerning the storms, but drive anyway.
Really are do not believe Christ Died!!!!
People will die if I don't go.
I worry for the storm chasers
Many people have that crazy mindset that it's not going to happen to them, only to find themselves delayed, stranded, or crashed in the snow.
No tbh media sensationalize EVERYTHING can’t tell you how many “paralyzing” storms we were supposed to get but literally not one flake flew
Nobody should have been out there driving in that, other than essential 911 workers😳
Yes, and now the rescue workers are going to have to risk their lives to rescue these people who will run out of fuel, their engines and heaters will go off and they will freeze in their cars....
you'd think they'd close the interstates a day before these extreme weather events
Not even them obviously
We are so used to it and anymore the weathermen hype everything up I wish they’d have closed 90 and 79 tbh
People definitely should've been staying inside unless they needed to grocery shop or work. Because unfortunately bosses do not care if you're sick or if wintry weathers prohibit driving.
A big THANK YOU to all the helpers: medical assistance, firemen, police etc who have to brave this weather to help others!
Yes but they should not be risking their lives for people who should have just stayed home in the first place. Yes I know it's the holidays but that's still no excuse. Mother nature doesn't care if it's Christmas
Yeah a shout out to those who risk their life's to save others.
@@GethinJames What if it had been you, who slipped and fell in your home or yard and broke something?
Thank you to all those paid workers doing their job!
@@GethinJames Really? People have medical emergencies that have nothing to do with the storm. Stop being an A / hole!
I was in ninth grade in Buffalo in the winter 76-77.
The blizzard of 77 and this are equal but with particular differences ..
this storm hit with no snow on the ground but with massive snow fall...
the blizzard of 77 hit with a record amount of snow already on the ground
and 70 -80 mph winds ....
BOTH ARE BRUTAL and 45 years apart .
Wow .
Perhaps the Blizzard of 77 was not as resilient as this storm .
Will have to wait it out and see.
I am stuck in my house playing guitar and eating up everything in the fridge to get through this .....
Thankfully the power never went out ..
yet
Back in the seventies, my husband who was a resident in Anesthesia, requested to have a rotation in a certain area of this country which is known for high incidence of a rare untoward response to anesthetics . He was assigned to this remote place during the worst winter. Despite this, he kept coming home every so often to check on his family.I bought him a very heavy car phone so he could call for help in case of an emergency on the road. There were no cell phones then ( just heavy plug in phones). I put winter blankets, pedialyte in thermos bottle as well as plain water to drink ( also in thermos bottle) and in an igloo container, sandwiches and non perishable food to tide him over a long wait for help in case of an accident. On his way back to the hospital, his car spun then plunged unto a shallow ditch.. He was unharmed but shaken. It it took six hours before help came. He was grateful for the blanket and supplies and the thought and love that accompanied those " supplies". I am reminded of this because we decided that harsh winters are not for us. We love Buffalo NY with its wonderful people and being so close to Canada but for everyday in the winter, we don't want to be tested on our survival skills.
My parents still talk about the blizzard of 77. They had driven up from NC to Carthage, NY, to visit my mom's family after I was born. When they found out about the storm coming, they obviously had to leave early. My dad said that it was so cold in the car despite the heater running full blast that my bottles were freezing in the diaper bag (it was sitting in the floor board).
I was in kindergarten and my dad was stranded at work. I was terrified he wouldn’t make it back 😢. Stay safe people.
Rain turned to ice this storm. I think it’s worse.
Sorry bud.... this one was worse than '77......
Try again next time...
As a native buffalonian for the past 40yr, this is the worst because it got bad so fast and everyone is trying to make it to their holiday destination. Driving is a death trap!! Please stay off the roads so a small problem doesn’t turn into a life or death problem!!
Please excuse me but these people that are driving in these conditions, even knowing previously about this massive storm, are not in their normal thinking. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is more valuable than a life. If there are companies that make its employees driving in these conditions they must be held accountable. As the title says, this is really insanity. No words can match the word - INSANITY. Let´s consider that the next snow storm could be 10 times worst than that. This will make help to people stuck in the storm almost impossible.
@@realtruth8162 absolutely correct. The corporate greed is so high that they don't care about their employees and force them to come to work.
@@salmans5677 "Corprate greed!" The pinkos say as they order another Marvel themed trinket on Amazon.
it's from all the dry ice that they're spraying in the air
Where are the electric cars in this mess?
I’m in Buffalo right now and luckily my power or heat hasn’t gone out. Still really scary conditions here. These winds feel like hurricane-level with how some trees and powerlines are being knocked over. Stay safe everyone else who’s here right now!
My 84 year old stepdad and sister live in Allentown, lost power
You & your family stay safe 🙏🏾
Stay safe and warm
Thinking of you guys, stay warm stay safe. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
No, Joyce, even level 1 hurricane winds are TWICE what is reported here.
I’m here in Alabama with 15 degrees and beautiful outside. County and City offices closed yesterday just because of temperature. We would never make it in that !
Prayers of safety to everyone dealing with that storm!🙏🏻
There was a blizzard in Alabama and the other surrounding states in 1993.......Sure, not as severe as this, but Alabama received a lot of snow with blizzard like condition high winds....
Sweet Home Alabama! I am a Northman and I couldn't tolerate the heat that you folks get in the summer, but more power to you all if you can handle it, and all the bugs.
I remember a trip driving from Buffalo to Corry, PA in a Buffalo whiteout. I will never forget that trip.
I have never been so scared in all my life. Almost drove off the road because I could barely see
the road. Ultimately followed behind a truck and exited the highway and sat in a hotel lobby for
hours before I could get back on the road again. I was heading to Corry for my job!
W🥶W! Not being able to see the fire truck lights after only 2 car lengths was scary🤯😱
Please stay safe and stay home.💖
Having to wait to shoot video of the third fire truck because I could not see the first two passing out my window was scarier.
@WXChasing and just think, a camera will pick up visuals better than the naked eye, during bad weather. So I can imagine how frightful it must have been
You’ll act like fog don’t exist
@ Shad Meyer 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️
🙏 for you all ....?. From West Virginia
This is not to be taken lightly. Is deadly serious. Not the only area. Keep the millions in Prayer! Stay Safe
My dog won't even go out
Praying still
I have relatives and friends impacted
The storm came incredibly fast. In Canada, yesterday morning it was raining, which melted all of the current snow, and I kid you not, an hour later it started snowing and high winds. Didn't look as crazy as this though, but please people, be safe and stay home!
I hope this is helpful. If you get stuck in the snow, use your floor mats. The bottom has studs and it gives the tires traction. This video reminds me when I was stranded in Alaska when it was -35° F with a wind chill of -72°F
That's cold!!!!!
Or get good tires.
Chains & studded tires in the trunk.
I would be a nervous wreck! Never could I fight the winters like I did when I was younger. I grew up in Michigan. I do not miss the snow. Praying for you NY! Stay safe! Stay inside!
WOW!, Michigan, nice! What part? I used to be in Coldwater!🥶🥶
(Early 2000s)
Same, I have health issues and am weak/fragile, so this weather scares me.
Where do you live now Debra?
Funny enough my part of NYS only received rain and some brief snow and freezing rain. No snow forecasted at all for at least the next 7 days, just freezing temps and sunny.
Michigan misses you 😮
Here in the U.K everything comes to a halt if there's an inch of snow. I hate to think how we would be if we had weather like the USA is having right now. Please stay safe people.🇬🇧
Is UK part of India?

When you don't have the equipment to manage, it's best to just sit it out.
It's probably not the best idea to be out trying to drive in a blizzard. Prayers everyone stays safe this Christmas! 🙏 ❤️ ❄️ 🎄 🇺🇸
Thank you for your work! It’s important to document history as it’s happening. I just subscribed as well. Be safe out there.
I live in Buffalo and am safe in my house. Thanks for posting the video. It's interesting to see what's going on out there. It's been non-stop snow and wind.
I'm watching from Australia at a balmy 30°c.
I've never seen snow in person!
I’ve been watching from Depew and goodness. This is insane.
How is it now in Buffalo?
You & your family stay safe
And am watching from NJ. Luckily, we only had rain and wind. The temps plummeted after the rain. Now its still windy and its bitterly cold here.
We lived just north of Buffalo for over 2 decades. In 2014 there was a bad blizzard and 5-7 feet of snow in areas south of the city. It's a deadly situation and should be taken seriously. If you get stranded on the expressway, you can die waiting for help. This is an awesome video. Take care, Buffalo and south towns. Hope the worst is over.
I remember that storm that dumped a lot of snow...didn't realize it was that long ago...I thought it was much earlier.
These are the scariest blizzard conditions I've ever seen!
I've driven in blizzards before but nothing even _remotely_ as bad as this.
I'm just a few miles north of this, with minimal snow. I still see grass. It is the WIND (with gusts pushing 70mph) that make this treacherous. Then any snow creates drifts, and it's just a mess. I live on a normally busy road and the traffic has been way down. Hearing about trees in roadways all over. Power outages. There are travel bans in place, but some folks still have to get to work. Hopefully folks arent out for the fun of it adding to the burden but i am sure they are. I see in local chats that they will do what they want, and not be told what to do (a lot of reds in this area) and that driving conditions are no big deal. Meh. Just stay home if you can. In a few days it will be back to 40s/50
🙏 Prayers for all you truck drivers 🙏 thank you for hardship and hardwork during Christmas season 🙏 ❤️ we appreciate you God bless you 🙏
Absolutely!!! Amen !!!
I hope you have a warm, safe Christmas wherever you are !!!!
Amen.
Oh my god, that is really awesome. I have never seen such a heavy snow storm here in Germany. We have a green christmas as every year with temperatures in the 50ies and in some parts 60ies Farenheit. I wish all citizens who live in that Blizzard zone in USA a safe and warm Merry Christmas. Also for the poor lonesome homeless people that no one will die. Take care of you. Warmest greetings from Germany to all of you. Carsten
We have warming shelters for the homeless here in Buffalo. I hope they all went.
@@afenismama Merry Christmas to you. I hope that the worst is gone now and the temperature is rising. But i guess Buffalo is well prepared because very low temperatures with heavy snow fall is not so unusual for you. Right?
I promise you I have. The two winter storms in the winter 1978/79 in Northern Germany were just as hard as what you see here as to what concerns intensity of snowfall, storm, and temperature.
Can you imagine the North Sea covered with ice, or the roads on the isle of Sylt buried under up to five metres of snow in - 25°C?
Snow plow going through, and it took fifteen minutes for the wind to blow up one and a half metre again, or snow blown up in the leeway of buildings up to the second floor?
I was there back then, and I'll never forget that...
@@andeekaydot yes i can remember that winter in 78/79 but that was a real 1 time scenario. I was a child but never been again after that blizzard like weather nearly 45 years ago i had such a winter horror. And where i lived that time it was not so heavy as it was in the northern parts of Germany.
@@carstenfrank3612 I had to do my service in the Bundeswehr back then, in Husum, and on Sylt, encountering it all first hand...
It's crazy. Here in the UK, I went outside just now, it's evening here, and I couldn't even see my breath, it's that mild. Hope you're all staying safe, and have a good end of year celebration and new year's. Take care.
Wow. And then I'm thinking who in their right mind goes out in conditions like? followed by feeling sorry for the first responders who have to go rescue people.
Poor truckers
First responders are stuck all over the metro.
People who can’t afford to stay home from work
This is a weather bomb. They didn’t have time to “chose”. It when from all clear to this in minutes.
News flash genius: we have more people in the area than cars you see. Fair to assume these people needed (aghast!) to be out for various reasons. And, first responders are paid to be prepared to do the job…whatever that may be…for whatever reason. Judge somewhere else
Always take more winter gear than you need, I carry a sleeping bag in my trunk with a small emergency kit, I could make it for a week or more if I had to. Used to travel a lot on I 70, Utah Wyoming border area. Blizzards like this were common every winter, (7,000 ft Red Desert). Picked up a gal already into hypothermia once, running down the medium in office clothes. She couldn't talk all she could do was shudder, we had to tackle her and force her into the car. My wife held her down to keep her from jumping out and I drove to the hospital. She had come to her senses by the time we got there, (we were about a half an hour out), and she turned out to be fine.
Great advice, I said the same to my Nephew who was wearing a t-shirt to drive somewhere in the cold at night. He just laughed at me and said my car has a heater.
The wind was freaking scary...... MERRY XMAS WXChasing!!!!! And thx for teaming up with Reed, it was so fun to watch both of you guys together!!!!
Unless it’s an emergency why would anyone be out under these conditions??
These types of storms do not happen everyday. It will subside.
Stay sheltered until it passes. For your safety and the safety of others.
And if you HAVE an EMERGENCY ‼️ and HAVE to be out, God bless you with safe travels.
U kidding we have people wanting to do oil changes in this mess. Or go to burger king.
Because people are programmed to consume
Jobs. Land of the Free
And meteorologists also say on TV in news channels - "And if you HAVE an EMERGENCY ‼ and HAVE to be out, God bless you with safe travels."🤣😅🤨
@@walkworthy bingo
Where is it that these people are going that's worth risking your life? 9 out of 10 could've stayed home !!!
And one in ten couldn't.
Hello from AZ. I feel so sorry for everyone experiencing this storm. Especially the animals that have no place to go to get out of the bitter cold. 😢
It's 15 degrees here and I've been feeling it all day!😟
@@Ray7234 Yes, because thinking just teleports the homeless and strays into better conditions. Are you kidding me? Cities always broadcast storm warnings and many you see out very well may have not heeded the warnings. Animals can also sense when bad weather is on the way and animal protection organizations always remind owners to bring their pets inside if their common sense fails them.
I'm a few hours from Buffalo in Watertown NY and it's crazy here too. We have a no drive ban here. Only essential emergency vehicles or people going to hospital are allowed on roads right now. Wal mart shut down as well as most other stores to deter people from going out in this.
Wow I can’t believe Walmart shut down they usually don’t want to
Wth are all the people doing out in it? No matter what tragedy you see, there are always people out walking around.
They think that human beings are supreme
@@petrichor259
Sad but you are right.
Its the North...common sense is a rarity.

I would be in that house so so fast I don’t even do cold 🥶
I just recently moved back to Buffalo after being in Atlanta for 14 years and I haven't seen a storm this bad since the October storm in 2006. I pray everyone stay safe and warm. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰🥰
Welcome back Quita. Stay warm.... This ain't the A. Lol
that's a odd one I'm kinda jaded cause I been in atl so long how was that move back to buffalo I love the cities vibe
@@olliwest7341 what you mean here is not A.
Im Turkish man
People only pray when something is bad 🤣🤣 and you probably don't even have a relationship with God
Wow you did it the other way around. People are moving from north east to Atlanta usually.
I just had to call in for the second day. It is Christmas Day and even our Christmas masses were cancelled. The most amazing thing was that we never lost power! I thought I was living in a nightmare. 7 foot drift blocking front door. The wind howling for three days straight!
Here in buffalo! I stayed off the roads, but the weather here yesterday was absolutely nuts. We’re in the clear for now, but the band is supposed to come back. The one news station had gusts measured up to 70 mph 😬
Buffalo has got to be the one place where people aren't buying global warming.
I guess you dont know what are the consequences of the global warming
@@Criminelsoyeux People waste money on things that can't yet solve it?
The main reason we get snow in buffalo is cause of the lake. If the lake is warmer with wind going acorss it, you get huge dumps of snow
Wrong....
Lake Erie no longer freezes over... we have lake effect snow all winter now.
Warmer lake has a greater ability to evaporate... then is snows once over land.
Hahahahaha
Why the Heck are so many people out in this? (I know your storm chasing) the gen public in minivans. It is just stupid the whole country knew this was coming, and no excuse for putting themselves and first responders at risk. Trucks on the road, people getting stuck.
I bet 90% of them are the idiots that tailgate, roll through stop signs, get tickets all of the time (which is always from over aggressive police), etc
Xmas time. Tomorrow I have a short drive to meet my family… normally 20min. If weather bad, I think 40min. Will see… my state doesn’t look anything like this, just icy road, no more blowing snow.
People think that it will never happen to them. You know better driver, car,younger and the rest of dumb is why they are out there.😊😊
Consumer programming
Because people live there, and have to go to work and get food. Not to mention keep the world spinning and economy running unlike the majority of you
I want to thank all the professional storm chasers who make these videos. You guys risk your lives to show the public these kind of weather events. Stay safe out there.
When we had this blizzard coming to the Midwest, it was bad , but not as bad as Buffalo.
We just visited Buffalo and the region, in Sept 2021 and May 2022. Even along the Erie Lake , PA and NY .
And have family members in the region.
My thoughts and Prayers are with all those in these Regions. Everybody stay safe !!!
IN this region right now -7 degrees, next week it will be back into the 50's.
It was worse here because it got a turbo boost from our "lake effect," which dramatically increased the amount of snow we were hit with.
Michigan used to have weather like this a lot. We’ve actually been fortunate for more calm winters in recent years.
Looks like it's pretty bad on the west side of Michigan. Here in SE Mich it's brutally cold with the wind but we are spared much of the lake effect snow that the western half knows and endures. I went to visit my Owl yesterday and it was all I could do to spend 90 seconds hooting at him before I went back to the car. The bird is tougher than I am.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go..... 😅😅🤣🤣

@@Heinrich99 Off the wagon and in this weather sled. Currier Express and then later the Buffalo Evening News. Collecting was harder than delivering. Some people got wet paper sorry about that.
You must be theeeee Buffalo Bill
I love winter and blizzards, but this seems terrifying! People freeze to death trapped in their cars many times. This weather is no joke.
Word!!
They think they are immune, it can't happen to them. At least that's my opinion. As comedian Ron White has said, "You can't fix stupid." Lord knows I've tried, but I finally gave up.
I concur, truckers and 4 wheelers could freeze to death, hope their diesel fuel didn’t gel up!!
Very important to carry an emergency heater with you. Our weather is milder in this part of NYS (no snow) but I’m still carrying propane and my Big Buddy heater with me in case I’m stranded
Keep a candle in your car. It will give off enough heat to keep you from freezing.
If you get stranded, open a window just a crack so that if you get completely encased you can still get some air.
I'm in Niagara Falls so we got about 12 hours of this before the the lake effect band moved south back into Buffalo but the wind and cold were relentless, when i saw the low was going to bomb out right around Hamilton Ontario, that puts the wind right down the axis of lake Erie, the perfect storm.
Dang, this makes the winter storm in Lake Tahoe I drove through 2 weeks ago look like a drive in the park!
The storm got worse *after* the wind stopped blowing. All of the snow in the air came crashing down. I've got ~5 feet in my yard!
Looks like Santa is gonna need Rodolph this year! 😂
Southeast Ohio is finally up to -10. It was so cold yesterday we had to pretty much barricade ourselves in to keep the cold out. I think it got to -33 last night. Prayers for all 🙏🙏🙏
As a Clevelander, i can say Buffalo blizzards are intense. Same Lake shake n bake!
Much respect to those first responders for doing what they do.
I grew up in Buffalo, still have family there, and never saw weather this bad. I live near Ithaca now, getting the snow and right now it's 2 degrees outside. Hoping our power stays on.
Yeah like Ithaca is the Bahamas .
Get real
I live near Chicago and the last few days have been terrifying. Have lived here my entire life so I know the weather very well but I've never seen anything like this storm. It was so cold and with that hurricane wind i thought for sure my power would go out and I would freeze to death. I actually feared for my life. This storm is strengthening instead of growing weaker and that is scary! Now it's very powerful, even more so than when it was here and it looks like NY is getting hit hard. Will be praying for you all. Stay warm and safe, everyone. 🙏
Definably was not a typical bad storm.
Thankfully it seems to be passing
Here in W.V. one inch of ice and covered by another inch of snow ....... the wind is unusually strong along with the temperature unusually low. Praying we don't loose 🙏 power and freeze to death. HAPPY holidays everyone .....❤🥶
Also near Chicago. The wind-chill has been unreal, but working the night shift I saw NOTHING like these white-outs. Must have dodged the bullet, narrowly.

OMG I was born in Buffalo NY 56 yrs ago. Live in Phoenix AZ now. it's gonna be 67 degrees here today and sunshine. Stay safe, stay strong Buffalo go Bill's and Bill's Mafia ( lifelong member here) Also if anybody in Buffalo is sick and tired of living with the snow as Fred Rodger's of Mr Rodger's Neighborhood used to say. "Would you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor, won't you please, won't you please, please won't you be my neighbor!"

How can you possibly drive in that weather. I can't possibly sleep knowing that half of the US population is experiencing such unexpected freezing and terrifying weather. Sending prayers to all from Brisbane AU.
Buffalo shouldn’t even exist and that’s not being dramatic. It’s legitimately on the cusp of being uninhabitable by humans.
Usually winter time brings winter weather. It’s amazing how some find this new.

I'm in Florida but I used to live in Buffalo and I know from my family members that there was pre warning other than emergencies or immediate necessity I don't understand why so many people were out there
Be safe everyone
Happy holidays
After seeing this I will not complain. Currently our heat is off and we have two space heaters which are keeping us nice and warm. We've been boiling water, running the dryer, etc for additional heat. I pray for everyone that are less fortunate and those who don't have anywhere to go. This weather is no joke. Stay safe, keep warm however you can, and God bless everyone. Merry textmas.
It's freezing in my apartment. I've been sitting in the kitchen with both the oven and the burners lit to stay warm; I'm also wearing socks and a hoodie!☹️

I live in the suburbs of Chicago. Im used to the cold and the snow. I’m man enough to say I don’t think I could hack buffalo winters. It’s different. And every person I’ve met from buffalo has just been an awesome human. Anecdotal, but there has to be something about suffering through nature that just grounds you…
I live on the Gulf Coast and tied myself to a tree during a cat 4 hurricane in 100 degree heat with alligators flying by, and I had to swat them and the mosquitos at the same time as tree branches impaled my arms and legs and fire ants ate my feet. When it passed, I waxed up the board and went surfing. I'm incrediblly grounded man. lol
I also came from the Chicago suburbs and now live in balmy Thailand. When growing up there in the sixties we would have gigantic snow storms that would be 4 to 5 feet close the schools for a couple of days but the wind there is terrible and makes it very bad for humans and animals who are outside. May no person or animal die because of the nature of this storm. May all be safe and not venture out in it!
Chicago weather is just as bad as Buffalo NY. Not much difference.
@@Malte-Micha can agree. Also, this has been bitter cold. Not just freezing cold. Its been a sharp bitter artic tundra freezing. Not safe by no means.
All the awesome buffalonions leave, hence you're meeting them 😃
Secretly inside I'm still 9 when it comes to snowstorms, I love it
I live at the beach year round but what I wouldn’t give to be stuck out there in a snowy cabin with my family in a blizzard for a week. I can feel the fireplace and smell the food cooking now.
WoOow
Does this bring back memories of my younger years in the Buffalo Area.
Good luck to all up there and Very Best of the Holidays.
WARNING: Major blizzard coming in a few days
PEOPLE: It's drivin' time!
You dont understand clearly that a lot of people were still expected to go into work. I was yesterday and only after it was clear how bad it was getting was I able to go home. Business owners dont want to stop until they absolutely have to.
@@cupcakeholes2138 ain’t that the truth
@@cupcakeholes2138 that's crazy!
Hey WXChasing!, again thanks for the weather update!👍👍🙃🙃 Well at least I don't have to go back east for family gatherings!! (I live in Phoenix, AZ)👍👍✌️🤫🤫🤫
I love It. Thank you dear.
I imagine everyone stranded in these videos couldn't have missed the forecast, or looked outside, or knew they had a front wheel drive vehicle - yet still decided to brave the storm. Amazing.

Ontario neighbor is taking a pounding this winter season. Heavy Snow fall couple week's ago now this. Stay strong Buffalo, this too shall pass
@GHG Yep. I'm in Oshawa. It rained most of it and we might have 4 or 5 inches. Wind is supposed to keep up for the next 18 hrs but we never had a power flicker or anything (Yet)
Yes&Thx😇...This too shall pass.
Who cares ? What about Ukrainians.?? Donate $$$
America only cares about themselves greedy ugly people..
Donate to Ukraine 🇺🇦 now.
@GHG Ontario is the province. Niagara where I'm at looked and still looks exactly like this right now. We're only 30 minutes away from B-lo.🤣 NOT sure where you got your info from.
Warm up coming this upcoming/next week. I'm not kidding either, look up your extended weather forecast details. And putin can take this "siberian express" polar chill back!!
I'm in Buffalo suburbs - 11 degrees, feels like -10. our windows and doors are completely covered with snow and ice. 3feet snow currently with high drifts, expecting another 1-2 feet and what is the worst is the nonstop 30-40 mile an hour winds for 1 day with day 2 of the same coming. its crazy here and yes Global warming seems ridiculous to me. My motto is, What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, wiser and very grateful that there is a God and he hears our prayers. Stay safe everyone.
You & your family stay safe 🙏🏾
in missouri; less snow than you, but it was -11 feels like -35 last night
coldest i have ever been in my life
You are right that when Buffalo has a winter storm it is proof that global warming isn't real.
il second that and or those emotions
Global warming is showing in extreme weather. While the north of america freezes over we have a nice 62 f / 17 c in europe when it should be 23 f / -5 c. I dont judge or care if its natural changing or man made. Fact is the weather is definitly going more extreme every year.
Stay safe, have a nice Christmas i hope you wont be traped for too long in the snow.
I cannot believe how many people ARE WALKING out in that!! Wtf??
Looks like the beginning of Rudolph the red nose reindeer show! Ha ha 😂
I'm happy to be in Canada where its warm
HII CP
with all these blizzards happening it reminds me of the move The Day After Tomorrow
We are experiencing similar severe conditions not far from you here in 🇨🇦. We are getting rain, ice and snow, but the most severe and frightening are the swirling high winds which are similar to hurricane or tornado type winds. It's challenging to keep up with the amount of power outages.
My electricity has not gone out just yet, but threatening.
No flights, no trains or no travel buses are running in this weather.
So looking forward to the return of sunshine soon!
Stay safe and stay well, all!
Blessings, peace.☮️🙏
Hats off to whomever got this footage. This looks horrible and fatal. Please be safe and God speed. 🙏🏾
Why did people even leave their homes!
Very good question.
Bills
Forced too by greedy employers
My niece stayed in her home, but the power went out and last I heard it was down to 39° in her home… Praying for a lot of people caught in this position
Can't afford the heating oil
Ppl are crazy thinking that 70 MPH winds and wind chill factors of 40 below is no big deal, this is a rare storm, and arctic blast that we haven't seen in decades, so most ppl have never seen anything like this, and unfortunately paid a price
I have a question for people living in these cold winter areas... Do your cars struggle to get to operating temps with the heaters on etc while it's snowing and freezing outside?
Praying and best wishes for all touched by this mess at Christmas time.
Jeremiah 10
@@natasarayadai I was thinking the same
Looks like growing up in Minnesota in the 70s. Miss the 4 foot snow blizzards and building snow forts in the plow drifts.
