BuffaloWeather

I really don't understand why anyone is driving right now aside from emergency services. Driving ban went into place at 9:30

Winds are primiarily out of the SW/W and likely not to change until Monday. So I'd expect totals down there to be manageable.

No words

Sharing my 2 nest cams as long as power remains on, let me know if you guys can see the video. https://video.nest.com/live/28e8ddt5KG https://video.nest.com/live/nNlCfnzkYj

Lake is about to explode with snow. I expect lake enhanced snow into tonight across all of Erie county. Rates will be somewhat low due to winds and the impact the winds have on flake production. It won't really matter much with those windspeeds

Everyone is losing power. I don't have a generator.

ALL LANES ARE BLOCKED ON BOTH DIRECTIONS ON I-90 BETWEEN EXITS 57 to 57A DUE TO DOWNED HIGH TENSION POWER LINES This storm is gonna be insane.

They evacuated those. I’ll be there tomorrow though.

Everything is closing until Tuesday except necessities

70 mph wind gusts, 3-4’ of snow, temps in teens, 24 foot waves. Does it even get any better? I’ll be live streaming along the shore all day tomorrow. Follow my YouTube in my signature.

I’d say all of Erie county at this point. The moisture for the first 24 hours makes this basically a lake enhanced event versus pure lake effect snow.

lol

Will likely be pretty dead in here as everyone migrated to discord, have 65 members in the channel. If any lurkers in here from upstate send me PM for invite. Should be a fun couple of days! My work has already closed, so 4 day weekend to enjoy it!

Worst storm I’ve ever seen modeled for Buffalo. 70 mph winds and 3-4’ of snow.
