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.
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!!!!
@@majormediaisparasitic2686 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! 🌲 😷 🌲
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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 )
@@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.
@John Ruth 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.
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 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!!
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
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.
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
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.
@@rootedtogrowwny 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.
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
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.
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.
I still get PTSD whenever I hear the words 'lake effect snow'. All the snow removal contractors that were gouging people. My neighbor called a guy for help in clearing his driveway and this guy wanted $500!
@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, RUclips!
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. 😮😮😮
😇 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.
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
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.
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.
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!
tails doll black no you don't. My mom and my dad got stuck in the snow and my dad froze (still alive) and my mom was very very sick after and we realized that she had cancer. Don't say that
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🙏.
😆 the national media is ridiculous.. Western New Yorkers don't sweat snow, we deal with it as a matter of normal life. Yes, this particular storm was crazy, but we weren't freaking out even a little bit. I love less than 5 minutes from Lake Ontario, we get multiple storms each year where the drifts completely cover our cars. Different regions get different types of severe weather, ours is just really cold.
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.
I live in Los Angeles and it's been freezing here this whole winter. Almost all month temps have been in 60s and 50s for daytime highs. Cold 45 at night. I HATE ANYTHING WITH SNOW ON IT!😠
Im in Minnesota. Thats shorts and t shirt weather for us!!. I sat in the lawn chair this morn soaking up the warm sun on my face...felt sooo warm and good. I did have my winter coat on tho...it was 33 this morn. Got really warm sitting in the sun
@@rumorady-4566 believe me I get real negative sometimes with the severe weather and cold. But ur body adjusts every season. Like from winter to spring it feels downright hot now at 46 degrees. But summers here are brutal and severely humid. Too many mosquitoes in July which ruins it. I'm moving out of this state some day. We had record snow falls this February. Shoveling all the time.
...and later, Brian Williams left the studio to travel to Buffalo by dog sled to rescue all the motorists stranded on the NYS Thruway, after which he shoveled the football field down to the turf by himself. He then got on a snowmobile that he built himself with his bare hands from spare parts he found in an abandoned trailer and travelled to East Aurora to shovel Main street down to the pavement and stop at McDonalds where he personally prepared 8,963 Happy Meals which he delivered to schools where the kids were snow bound. Just ask him, he will tell you all about it. Oh...wait a minute...you won't have to ask him, he will casually mention it on the air. Whata guy!
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.
It was bad. I live in South Buffalo, which had to be hit by the storm, we were lucky get some breaks in the snow, but either way that was a very bad storm. I hope your father made home ok after the storm.
Anyone remember Blizzard of '77? I lived in Sanborn NY at the time. Snow was almost to the top of telephone poles, and the only way to a store was by snowmobiling [if you could find the store, that is!] Some people died in their cars buried under 10 feet of snow. So sad. Huge payloaders were used to clear our roads. I was a teen and no school at NWHS for quite a while. Been through some WNY blizzards and remember them well! today's date: DECEMBER 21 2020, first day of winter. BUFFALO BILLS AFC EAST DIVISION WINNER!!! LET'S GO BUFFA-LO!! GO BILLS!
If you live in the north country, have 2 freezers full of food as we did in the Blizzard of 1966, five foot driffs, country back road,one week before plow Came. Plow had giant snowblower on front. Threw snow 70 feet !

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
People : Screw corona and the quarantine
_snow has entered the chat_
this was 6 years ago lol
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.
😇 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.
This is due to repeat sometime in the next 10 days.
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
Who’s watching this during quarantine excited for winter👀😭
I hate winter
Imagine telling your boss who lives 7 miles away and got 2 inches you can’t get to work 10 miles away..
Bruh why was this recommended 7 years later. Thought it just happened
Love the snow!!!❄️❄️❄️❄️.... Everyone helping each other. No one being rude!!! God bless all of you....🙏🙏🙏...
$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.
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
Oh my goodness that is a lot of snow in Buffalo.
2:40 “thets are beckyeeiird”
3:45 Snowpacolypse? Build snowman. lol Buffalo
LORD ALMIGHTY BLESS THE HOMELESS DURING THESE GIANT WALL OF SNOW.
This was 7 years ago.
I need this. 96 degrees here in September 2023. Snow is so pretty.
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
NYC needs this. Not just upstate NY
It was bad but the city got nothing at all 💁🏽♀️
There are time in life when only a snow "blower" will suffice.
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
Storms of the 1970s were like that
i want this where im at
our city is cursed 12 feet of snow is average, 4 superbowl losses, highest taxes.
jim ogrady oh brother . talk about snowy hellhole D:
tails doll black no you don't. My mom and my dad got stuck in the snow and my dad froze (still alive) and my mom was very very sick after and we realized that she had cancer. Don't say that
tails doll black PEOPLE died in there cars because they were stuck on the thruway this was bad
you don't get cancer from being in the snow and you can't "freeze" from that
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
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
😆 the national media is ridiculous.. Western New Yorkers don't sweat snow, we deal with it as a matter of normal life. Yes, this particular storm was crazy, but we weren't freaking out even a little bit. I love less than 5 minutes from Lake Ontario, we get multiple storms each year where the drifts completely cover our cars. Different regions get different types of severe weather, ours is just really cold.
I think we thrive in the snow tbh. A lot of my friends, me included, are really looking forward to winter lol.
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.
it's not the first one and won't be the last one. prayers for everyone!
Oh wow! My situation doesn’t seem that bad anymore...my thoughts with those who have passed away and the families they leave behind. 🙏😔
Prayers for folks in the snow storm.
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.
What a beautiful green house
And I'm watching in 2019 .
Lol 2:40 "that's are beckyaird" and they say we dont have an accent
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 Los Angeles and it's been freezing here this whole winter. Almost all month temps have been in 60s and 50s for daytime highs. Cold 45 at night. I HATE ANYTHING WITH SNOW ON IT!😠
Im in Minnesota. Thats shorts and t shirt weather for us!!. I sat in the lawn chair this morn soaking up the warm sun on my face...felt sooo warm and good. I did have my winter coat on tho...it was 33 this morn. Got really warm sitting in the sun
@@sunray8136 brrrr how can u stand it ... srry I dont mean to be so negative..have a good weekend!
@@rumorady-4566 believe me I get real negative sometimes with the severe weather and cold. But ur body adjusts every season. Like from winter to spring it feels downright hot now at 46 degrees. But summers here are brutal and severely humid. Too many mosquitoes in July which ruins it. I'm moving out of this state some day. We had record snow falls this February. Shoveling all the time.
@@sunray8136 hope.you move to a state you can enjoy all year round and Still with 4 seasons .
@@rumorady-4566 Im hoping to....it might be CO. My sister lives there and im seriously thinky that will be my life change
can't believe nearly 2 years ago everything was shut down for 2 ½ weeks
Omg i would die, I’m from Mississippi where if there’s a centimeter of sleet school is cancelled 😂
I remember this. I was so happy I didn’t have to go school.
Just whatever you do, dont vote Democrat
...and later, Brian Williams left the studio to travel to Buffalo by dog sled to rescue all the motorists stranded on the NYS Thruway, after which he shoveled the football field down to the turf by himself. He then got on a snowmobile that he built himself with his bare hands from spare parts he found in an abandoned trailer and travelled to East Aurora to shovel Main street down to the pavement and stop at McDonalds where he personally prepared 8,963 Happy Meals which he delivered to schools where the kids were snow bound. Just ask him, he will tell you all about it. Oh...wait a minute...you won't have to ask him, he will casually mention it on the air. Whata guy!
Ahhhhh snowvember
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.
That was the worst storm I ever been through.
It was bad. I live in South Buffalo, which had to be hit by the storm, we were lucky get some breaks in the snow, but either way that was a very bad storm. I hope your father made home ok after the storm.
emergency man I live in Cheektowaga
Shayla Quick How much snow did Cheektowaga get? Was as bad as South Buffalo ?
Try living through a CAT 5 Hurricane. Not even comparable.
emergency man i live in derby it was horrible because I was right on the lake
Ummm , ok recommended 6 years later
Ikr
I love when this happens...hope we get more this year...always an event
it's absolutely beautiful!
That's where I live buffalo ny
Anyone remember Blizzard of '77? I lived in Sanborn NY at the time. Snow was almost to the top of telephone poles, and the only way to a store was by snowmobiling [if you could find the store, that is!] Some people died in their cars buried under 10 feet of snow. So sad. Huge payloaders were used to clear our roads. I was a teen and no school at NWHS for quite a while. Been through some WNY blizzards and remember them well! today's date: DECEMBER 21 2020, first day of winter. BUFFALO BILLS AFC EAST DIVISION WINNER!!! LET'S GO BUFFA-LO!! GO BILLS!
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.
Why am i being recommended this 5 yrs later in 2020? This was 5 years ago RUclips
Awkward... I’ve never seen snow before in real life 😂😂
American Psycho stfu psycho boi
Samuel Atienzo oof you gotta sometime lol
If you live in the north country, have 2 freezers full of food as we did in the
Blizzard of 1966, five foot driffs, country back road,one week before plow

The Day After Tomorrow in real life!!! W O W
Nobody talks about how it was 80 degrees by the end of the week and caused massive flooding
I lived right through it in buffalo it's called have a Subaru wrx
Saverio Cosmano I just bought a charger rt 😔
Blizzaks > Awd, everybody here thinks WRXs are so special
Not very useful if there’s a travel ban 😂
