- description: Heavy snow began to hit the Buffalo area since Monday night, forcing authorities to close several streets south of the city including various sections of US219 and 400. The ingentissima amount of snow has blocked dozens of motorists on the New York Thruwa in the early hours of yesterday. The intensity of the snowfall was so great that not even the spazzane were able to intervene.

As much of the nation was plunged into a deep freeze, the sudden rush of cold air from the north set the perfect conditions for the moisture coming off the Great Lakes to create sprawling snow bands, the most ferocious of which settled over the towns and communities just south of Buffalo on Tuesday. At least four people in that region died as a result of the weather, according to The Associated Press. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who will visit Buffalo on Wednesday afternoon, declared a state of emergency and deployed the National Guard to help find and rescue anyone stranded in the storm. Even in an area used to dealing with brutal winter storms, officials in and around Buffalo said they were struggling with the storm. Mayor Byron Brown of Buffalo said that clearing roads south of the city has been “slow going” and that “there is a long way to go” before the situation was under control. “Please do not be fooled by the beautiful sunshine,” he said. “There is still tremendous amounts of snow on the ground in south Buffalo.” In a reflection of how fast the storm swept over the region, players from the Niagara University women’s basketball team became stuck early Tuesday and were forced to wait more than 24 hours on the team bus until state troopers could rescue them. The heavy snowfall and local travel bans forced Amtrak to suspend service in the region until at least Wednesday afternoon. As of late Tuesday night, more than five feet had fallen in towns like Lancaster and Gardenville and, since snow kept falling overnight, it was likely that there could be more than six feet of snow in some places. “This is a very extreme event,” said Shawn Smith, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Buffalo. “It basically crippled all the towns south of Buffalo.” But unlike a typical winter storm, the snow caused by the “lake effect” was not felt equally across the region. The divide was so stark that someone on a tall building in downtown Buffalo had clear skies overheard but could see a menacing gray wall of moisture and snow being swept up off the lake and driven south. On Wednesday, there was only a dusting of snow in the city. At 12 o'clock on Tuesday unofficial measurements indicated a build-up within 24 hours of well-152.4 cm at Lackawanna (New York) just south of Buffalo. Official figures gave the accumulation of more than 120 cm in some of the cities in the south, so the matter of Lackawanna might be true. The persistence of rainfall could cause historical records to be demolished and in particular the record from Silver Lake, Colorado, in just 24 hours received 193.04 cm between 14 and 15 April 1921. Another impressive figure, unofficial is that recorded in January 1997 at Montague, New York: 195.58 cm. The "Lake effect snow" may cause striking differences in terms of build-up in just a few miles away. On most of Buffalo fell a relatively small amount of snow: 2-3 inches. In the south, however, local accumulation reached 120 cm and more heavy snowfall could get around the city on Thursday. In some of the villages most exposed lake effect this week could drop more than 150 inches of snow.
