      It’s sort of hard to imagine this much snow in only two days time. Even for us hardened snowfolk!

      Here’s some photos. (they are not my photos!)

      These are houses.

        Yeah, that is a year’s worth of snow, even for the Buffalo area, in just a few days. Crazy winter weather! Hopefully people are able to get their roofs cleared (that’s a lot of snow to have on them, especially the more flat roofs… at least it is the light fluffy powder, or it could be a lot worse!) and everyone helps each other out. Did you have any thunder snow?

        I know some ski places that would love this right about now. They’d be all set for the rest of the rest of the winter.

        I would be enjoying this much snow if I had it, and I wasn’t so busy so I could actually shovel/snow blow it. My dog loves snow, but I think he would turn back inside at that amount!

          Are you going to be okay Jennifer? That’s pretty bad and the melt news is just a rotten cherry on top.

            Yes, the zainy thing with this type of snow is that it can drop feet and feet on one location, and just a mile or two away from the ‘band’ of clouds, you can have very little snow. We only have 8-10 inches here and are just fine, but it is impossible to travel northbound. I regret that I will likely not be able to fly out to my engagement in California tomorrow!

              It is very, very heavy wet compacted snow here. A lot of roofs are caving in. People are really struggling to clear it off.

              I like snow but when it is over my head, it’s too much. It really wipes out wildlife too, which can not move around to eat. The only good news for the wildlife is that much of it should have melted back down in a week’s time. If it melts much then gets a hard ‘crust’ on top due to cold temperatures again, though, that causes high wildlife mortality via starvation. Most wildlife find a hard crust on top of a snow layer impossible to break through to feed enough.
