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?

Yup... that was a good one. As were the storms of 68, 77 and 2014. The location of Buffalo was simply designed for getting good dumps with all the moisture being picked up from Lake Erie as the winds go east. This one looks like it is going to miss Buffalo but the radar map shows how it could have been a good one if it had of been just a bit more north... https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/map/radar?lat=43.4303&lng=-80.4831
