  1. They are measuring snow by the foot. Falling at 4″ per hour. Some places have up to 5′ snow fall before drifting. More on the way. Got to love that moderating effect of the Great Lakes amplified by AGW. Great time-lapse here.

    Why would anyone live in Buffalo, once referred to by Johnny Carson as sweaty armpit of North America. At least it looks pretty in white.

  3. I recall, during my driving phase, being counseled that for points east of Buffalo, to cross at Queenston and head off through Lockport to Batavia….year round.
    In summer ya avoided Buffalo traffic and became so familiar with the route you would not get lost in any conditions.
    Many’s the time, on the return, I found I90 closed at Batavia….clear sky, bare road with a curtain of snow in the distance.
    Lake effect snow is dependant on wind direction…
    It is common this time of year for Strathroy to get buried. 1977 saw London buried, about this time, blowing it’s entire snow removal budget in early December.
    Another target area….I94 Kalamazoo/Michigan City….Chicago-Milwaukee with an east wind…..Milwaukee mounts plows on it’s garbage trucks….
    When ya can’t see the dog on the end of the hood, ya gotta shut down.

  4. Good thing for all that global warming, can you imagine how much worse it would be if it was really cold.

  5. The blessings of geography. We live on the north side of Lake Ontario, only a two hour drive (trafic permitting) from Buffalo, and we have a mere dusting of snow.

  6. Is Al Gore scheduled to give a speech in Buffalo?
    Winter officially still more than a month away.

  7. Family north of Toronto about an hour or so got a bit but nothing like Buffalo. This looks like the child of the blizzard of 81. Shut down Niagara for the better part of three days or so.

  8. But, hey, cold winters are the result of global warming (AKA climate change, AKA GHG, AKA Gore’s woodie) – I know because morbidly paranoid, brainwashed post-teen campus slackers everywhere said so.

  9. Nov. 17 edition,
    President Obalmy and his plan to act on climate change.
    Obalmy and China trying to keep the earth from cooking..
    The EPA rules that previously looked senseless in the absence of Chinese emissions reductions are now, arguably, the single most important thing the U.S. can do to ensure those reductions.
    The IPCC is increasingly counting on it to hold the global temperature rise below 2 degrees C this century,
    and thus avoid the most damaging aspects of climate change.

  11. Didn’t the CBC have the Environment Canada weather expert on a couple of years ago stating that kids today won’t ever see snow in there lifetime anymore because of Global Warming.
    Thought CO2 had a warming effect.
    How long do you think it will be before the MSM will wake up and report like they did in the 70’s that we are on the verge of an Ice Age

  12. For Buffalo to get dumped on is nothing new, but it could well be one of the earliest storms of this magnitude. All areas east of any of the Great Lakes are in heavy snowfall zones. Oswego, New York State, east of Lake Ontario, CFB Borden, Midland area, east of Lake Huron and NW of Toronto, are all heavy snowfall areas.
    When we lived in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area Buffalo would quite often get a foot of snow while Niagara got a couple of inches.

  14. “How long do you think it will be before the MSM will wake up and report like they did in the 70’s that we are on the verge of an Ice Age?”
    Right about the time that they finally realize there’s no future with the socialist DemocRats and start sucking up to the Republicans instead.
    I think we will see that in the next ten years. Going to be a hell of a 180.

  17. Today, the heavy snow will shift to the north shore of Lake Ontario at least east of Oshawa, as winds turn more southwesterly. The 401 between Darlington and Trenton will probably see some chaos later on. Would not be expecting much more than half a foot but still, enough to make a mess there. Then it’s back to the Tuesday scenario again on Thursday.
    Something to keep in mind if you’re in a snow belt, there could be a brief thaw with rain next week, a lot of this snow could be running off around Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. For the heaviest snowfall areas like the south towns of Buffalo, that could lead to roof collapse issues. Imagine four feet of waterlogged snow on a flat roof.

  19. I think they’re heading in that direction.
    Global Warming morphed into Climate Change which is now becoming Extreme Weather. Regardless of what happens, it’s going to be irreversibly catastrophic if we don’t immediately mend our evil ways by opening up our near empty wallets and “embrace” all things green and beautiful.

  20. Imagine what the 35-115 will look like with those nice, big hills near Lindsay and that slight mountain near Orono.

  21. That’s not snow, that’s cocaine. That guy may be one of the biggest dealers in North America.

  25. With a quick change in temperature and a little rain there could be a lot more homeless people in America by this time next week, and then where is Bam_bam going to send his illegal aliens?

  26. Wait. Hold on.
    How the heck did that door collapse by SNOW?!
    Wind, I’d get, but a big snow drift would protect you from the snow after a while
    But snow? Snow isn’t like water, the pressure it exerts at the bottom isn’t a directly a function of the depth of snow. The pressure/weight is straight down, not at 90deg on the door?
    And in general snow touching a glass windows melts a little and leaves you with an airspace between the snow and window.
    There should be very minimal force on the door.
    Seems entirely unlikely.
