Upstate NY Sees Over 6FT Of Snow In “Historic” Storm

CNN reports:

A historic snowstorm is slamming western New York state Saturday with over 6 feet of snow in some places, closing roads, triggering driving bans and canceling flights the weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Extreme snowfall “will produce near zero visibility, very difficult to impossible travel, damage to infrastructure, and may paralyze the hardest-hit communities,” the Weather Prediction Center said Saturday morning.

Snowfall totals of over 6 feet have been recorded in two locations. Orchard Park, where the NFL’s Buffalo Bills play, has picked up 77.0 inches in the last 48 hours, and Natural Bridge, just east of Watertown, has picked up 72.3 inches – historic numbers for the area.

AMAZING!! Storm total of 77″ report from one of the snow spotters. A NOAA Team may go out to look at a new 24-hr state record for snowfall at some point soon. Has to meet lots of requirements to be official. @nwsbuffalo #buffalosnowstorm pic.twitter.com/yL0sKKEwvp

I’ve never witnessed the #LakeEffect wall move like that.

This was around 11:30pm Friday as the band shifted into #Buffalo.

This was absolutely unreal to witness. @WGRZ pic.twitter.com/wlA06q7Wjn
