29 People Post The Aftermath of Snowpocalypse in Buffalo, New York, And Some of Them Are Quite Amusing
This is a great example of how people can find a silver lining in a snowpocalypse.
The National Weather Service office in Buffalo, New York, issued a warning statement about a band of heavy snow coupled with strong winds at approximately 11 o'clock at night on Saturday. This combination created a "burst of snow" in the western portions of the state.
Winds shifted to the west, bringing the biggest "lake-effect" snowstorms Buffalo, Cleveland, and Dunkirk had experienced in a while on Sunday morning. Winter weather advisories for "blowing snow" were in effect for Buffalo through Sunday night.
Although severe snowfall is not uncommon in Buffalo, this storm appeared to be more intense than others that have slammed the city in recent years. According to the mayor of Buffalo, Byron Brown, who was interviewed by CNN, the amount of snowfall that occurred was "much more than we usually get."
There has been significant disruption to travel plans in the region due to the multi-day weather event, with roads being closed, driving bans put in place, and flights being canceled the weekend before Thanksgiving. The NFL's Buffalo Bills had to reschedule a game because of the weather.
Take a look at the gallery of pictures and videos below. All of these were submitted by residents who were there at the time to give you an idea of how crazy this snowstorm was.
