Oh my God, I remember this happening. It started late on Thurs. the 12th (make a better story if you say it started Friday the 13th). I can remember the joy my sisters and I had playing in the snow instead of being stuck in school on the Friday. But very soon, we relised it was so much more than what we bargained for. 8 days without power, seven consecutive snow days. Crazy.

Do you still live in the WNY area currently? Because here in Lancaster currently, we have three feet of snow.

I'm originally from Buffalo. It looks to me like none of this footage was actually shot in the city, but one of the suburbs.

[skimanevan7]

yes this is not directly in buffalo, this is in elma just south east of the city.

gahhh!!!! original music not allowed , sry

that house covered in snow looks straight outta a movie shot didnt know that much snow piling up on a roof wouldnt cave in. probably specially built for conditions

[skimanevan7]

i dint think they are specially built, they can handel probly another foot before some poeple roofs would start running into problems

[joeybognar]

it may not look like much but what made it a bad storm was the fact that it was the first week in OCTOBER and the trees still had all their leaves. the snow piled up on the leaves and branches and whole trees started coming down like crazy. i remember standing at the edge of some woods and every 2 minutes or so a huge branch or tree would come crashing down, and the sky kept lighting up blue as different transformers blew.

@BubblyMermaids1 Last year, there was a snow storm on my birthday, it was awesome!

[illikainen12]

that's nothin. you New Yorkers, haha you get 2.5 feet of snow and shut everything down. I live in da U.P. of Michigan and the first snow storm, we got 10+ inches. But that was only the first storm and its only November. December, we will get like 4-5 feet!! BEAT THAT!

The weather is taking revenge for Obama mass murdering Afghan and Libyan innocents.

had to mute this the song makes snow seem horrific when it's actually beautiful. It's just the idiots that don't respect nature that end up getting hurt.

I remember leaving Buffalo when this storm hit...driving through it...and coming out on the LaSalle Expressway in Niagara Falls to bright sunsjome and clear pavement. It was unbelievable! It happened just like that! Wall of snow...bright sunshine!

@supermonkeyballboy no way dude

[supermonkeyballboy]

@strongties I posted that comment 6 months ago. Currently we're receiving a break in the worst heatwave in years that got our temperatures up to 95º and the RealFeels up to 120º. And also we have a pretty condensed but harsh snowing season, from late November to early April.
