Western New York is bracing for a historic wallop of snow that could dump 4 to 6 feet on the region through Sunday — including possible “thundersnow,” forecasters said.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and other state and local officials held a news conference in Buffalo on Thursday morning to urge New Yorkers to stay home until 7 p.m. Friday, when dangerous whiteout conditions are expected in an 11-county region stretching from the banks of Lake Erie to Watertown, north of Syracuse.
“What we’re talking about is a major, major storm. This is considered an extreme event, an extreme weather event. That means it’s dangerous; it also means it’s life-threatening,” the Democrat warned.

Global Warming.
I suppose singing Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow might be in bad taste.
Maybbe Wrath of God and punishment for electing Governor Chokehold.
MAGA storm?
🤣🤣 did that a few time during Minnesota blizzards
That was composed during a summer heat wave in virtually snowless Los Angeles.
But 6 feet???
I have a hunch it'll be more like 2-1/2 to 3 feet. Maybe less now that they moved the Bills/Browns game to Detroit because of the forecast. God has a sense of humor.
If Buffalo were to free over and disappear, the world would be better for it. Its a useless nest of Demo rats. BTW the Dems don’t allow fracking or new pipelines to be built in New York. They just might freeze over. Adios.
[thundersnow]
Darn you, Global Warming!!!!!!!!!!!
“Climate Change!”
Update: Buffalo itself won’t be hit as hard as the towns to the south, such as Hamburg. There I’d say 3 to 3-1/2 feet is possible.
It was heinous for a while but cleared up. But it’s lightning and thundering again. So far we got about 4 inches just outside of Buffalo. HOchul is here being a PITA.
Global Warming is a hoax.
Hey, would that include folks like me, and The Mayor and others?
Ya know, ...nah, it’s too late in the evening.
why bother.
There have been reports of thundersnow today.
I was talking to a relative this evening when the LR lit up and the thunder sounded right behind it. She said it was very impressive.
up here in Niagara county - bout 3 inches so far.
Someone should tell that woman who’s from here that this is NOT historic. In fact, Thundersnow is kinda cool.
For you folks who don’t know: the 2 most important essentials to have during these times is beer, and the Buffalo Sabres hockey schedule.
I guess a shovel helps.
Not to worry, we got a killer snow runoff drainage system called Niagara Falls.
We’ll be fine, people.
Yep. Snowblower ready to go and the beer is cold. It’s Buffalo, we will deal without her dramatics.
Thundersnow is pretty impressive, I like it.
“thundersnow”
Oh, puh-leeze! It’s a big lake effect storm. It happens. It’s happened before. It’ll happen again. It’s what lakes and cold air do. We don’t need yet another stupid name for a snowstorm.
I was in Fayetteville, NY for the big January 1966 lake-effect blizzard. Having Dad send you out to shovel four feet of snow was no picnic. Mom & Dad ran out of cigs and my sister and I had to trudge to the entrance to our subdivision to pick up cigs from Dad’s friend. They were bad off without the coffin nails. Fortunately, they both quit and neither got lung cancer. But it didn’t matter much because Parkinson’s and Dementia got them in the end.
How many can take a snowstorm and turn it into dementia?
