Global warming! Climate change! Blame Trump!

[trebb]

Buffalo/Rochester areas had some really nice snowfalls/blizzards in the ‘60s and early ‘70s....never heard of globull warming back then....

You know damn well who was guiding Santa’s sleigh out there that night.

Yes, lake effect snow in winter is obviously Trump’s fault. :D

[Gasshog]

Lake Effect snow, that can get quite heavy and dangerous.

I was happy to see a few flakes falling Xmas Eve and call it a White Xmas. ha ha.

[eyeamok]

This has to be FAKE NEWS, I saw AlGore and Leonardo DiCaprio swear up and down that the US will NEVER see snow again because of uncontrolled, runaway man made global warming.

Live in the SW corner of PS and we've got their records beat!

I was on I-90 in Massachusetts yesterday morning and for a while it was terrible.Visibility close to zero....roads so bad that you were lucky to hit 10MPH...

I think what is being reported is "end-of-lake" weather effect. Winds sweeping west over Lake Erie consist of snow-laden clouds that dump their content just as they hit land. This happens all down the eastern shore, from the Niagara Frontier down to Chautauqua. Sometimes Buffalo gets feet, but farther east on land, by Rochester only a few inches.

It is like an eastward trough of cold with warm edges as you move south out of it. I can remember that more than once, going from Erie down Route 11 on my Kawasaki 750, within two or three hundred feet I crossed an east-west wall that on the more southern side was about ten or fifteen degrees Fahrenheit warmer that you could instantly tangibly sense. I had come from freezing cold New York air east of Erie, PA to take-your-leathers-off warmth in Cleveland, far enough away from the lake trough to feel as if I had wound up in Florida, the change sharply defined about 30 miles below Erie.

Right now, the sun is shining in Wilmington DE, and there has been no snow on the ground since a week ago when we got an idiosyncratic six inches, but after it the snow disappeared the next day, and thereafter up to 58 degF on Saturday last.

Not bad, but if you want serious snow head for Valdez, Alaska - the snowfall capital of the 49th state. The AVERAGE snowfall is 305.8 inches annually, over 25 feet.
The winter of 1989-90 is in the record books with 560.7 inches, over 46 feet. The storage piles of plowed snow usually last until summertime.
Folks have to keep their roofs shoveled at times to prevent collapse.
