A remarkable lake-effect snowstorm dumped six feet of snow on upstate New York Tuesday in a mid-November snowstorm dubbed "snowvember."
For those unfamiliar with heavy snowstorms, this drone gives an inside look at what living in an area with heavy snow is like.
The National Weather Service reported that some areas of Buffalo received six feet of snow in just a matter of hours:

I Don’t need to watch the footage-—I went to Syracuse University and endured THAT for four very cold years....
I can remember putting hubbies waders on to walk the path in the street to the dairy, a couple miles away, to get milk for my kids.
We didn't pay much attention to weather reports back then. We still read the newspaper.
We didn't worry about stuff. There was the corner store. But even he didn't make it in that day.
Now if I need anything I have to drive there. And so....we watch the weather report and stock up as needed.
It's NY and it's winter!!
‘CUSE!!!
“I can see my house from here!”
the stabilization of the camera is incredible!
Looks like my neighborhood in Michigan when I was growing up. That much snow makes for fabulous snow caves. And also frozen feet.
“Drones”
In my day, we called them toy helicopters, with video cameras attached.
From the comments section:
DJI Phantom 2 Zenmuse h3-3d gimbal hero 4 4k
950$ drone and controller with 3 axis gimbal, and 500$ for hero 4. Worth every last penny even if i cant make money with it
Beautiful! Thanks for posting.
Must be a pretty good-sized quad-rotor drone because it was blowing those holly trees around pretty good whenever it got close, notice none of the other trees were moving at all.
It’s amazing what one of those things with a GoPro can do, so many business possibilities, so many ways it could be abused too, though.
I’ve seen plenty enough drone flyarounds for high end real estate listings, I understand the fee ranges from $250.00 on up, depending upon how elaborate the video needs to be.
100%
powerful for it's size
You pussy...You didn’t see anything like what we had. in the north country. Nor did you have the cold of the St. Lawrence River Valley (-44F). The lowest I ever saw in Syracuse was -22. Most snow was in February 1971.
A new use for drones!!!!
I used to live on the highest hill right off the lake. South East of Buffalo. We would get about double what fell in Buffalo.
You knew it was really winter when the snow plows would stop running and only snow blowers would cut a single traffic lane.
Back in the Blizzard of ‘77, my dad was the President of the Erie County snowmobile association and he ran an enormous rescue operation during the blizzard. He organized food and medicine deliveries and even took a lady in labor to the hospital on his snowmobile. Often they would only see the antenna on a car and dig down to find people trapped in the car.
I remember watching out the front window after the storm - a pay-loader was clearing the road in front of our house. The rear end of a car came up from the snow with one of the scoops. I remember my mom crying. She thought people were still in it. They made it to the neighbors house and stayed there for a few days.
My older brother climbed out the window to shovel the snow from in front of the door. We Couldn't get the doors open.
That was Orleans County.
You masochist. ;~))
The coldest I ever had to endure was minus 20, and I can't believe below that it would even make a difference. It freak'n hurts. ;)
God bless the folks enduring this mess.
I’m glad you took that in the spirit it was intended. LOL!
At -44F it is so cold that you cannot inhale, without freezing the mucus in your throat or nose. Your teeth hurt from the cold and exposed skin starts to ache in a couple of minutes. In my experience with those kinds of cold temps in the north country, and in Canada there is rarely a wind associated with it. It is usually high barometric pressure, cloudless skies, and zero wind. and -44 degrees at 6:30 am. But the two-stroke snowmobile engines love that cold dense air.
There is a certain S&M aspect of living here...52 years and counting.
FWIW, Lived in Buffalo as a kid, spent 35 years in Syracuse, and moved to Rochester. Went to SU as an undergrad and Cornell for grad school.
I talked to a young person tonight who thought this weather was unusual.
I told her about the 70s and how cold and how much snow there was back then.
It's cycles, and it looks like we're back into a cold and snowy one.
