Stunning Photos Of Record Snow Covering Upstate New York: 100 Total Inches Of Snow Expected

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As previously reported, the anticipated Polar Vortex 2.0 has struck, pushing temperatures in all 50 states to below freezing, while heavy snow prompted a state of emergency in western New York and contributed to the deaths of four people. According to Reuters, it was the coldest November morning across the country since 1976, according to Weather Bell Analytics, a meteorologist consulting firm. It remains to be seen how many GDP percentage points were wiped out as a result, unless of course, this time it will be different from last winter. Typically, such cold is not seen until late December through February.

But it was the situation in upstate New York, especially around Buffalo and parts of Erie County, where things got most dire and where 60 inches (1.5 m) of snow accumulated, with more falling, said Steven Welch of the National Weather Service near Buffalo. Snow fell at a rate of up to five inches (13 cm) an hour and some areas approached the U.S. record for 24-hour snowfall totals of 76 inches, or over 6 feet, the NWS said.

The record cumulative snowfall through Wednesday is shown in the image below:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for 10 counties. National Guard troops were deployed to help residents cope with the storm.



The good news, according to CBS, is that the Tuesday storm is fading away: deputy Erie County Executive Rich Tobe told reporters Wednesday morning that the storm had begun to move toward Buffalo's northern suburbs, and was expected to leave 2-5 more inches of snow in its wake. But he said the break would be short-lived for the hard-hit southern Buffalo suburbs, where forecasters were calling for more snow on Thursday, as much as three feet more, for a total of up to 100 inches over four days - a year's worth for the region. Still, there should be an 18 hour window to clear roads, he said.

And then it is all set to flip again, with the current freezing period expected to be followed by a "dramatic warming trend this weekend," raising the possibility of flooding from melting snow.

One of the main culprits for the heavy snow accumulation was the so called "lake-effect" which created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in parts south, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away.

A dramatic time-lapse of the snow-wall can be seen in the video below:

 

But nothing compares to the photos on the ground as shocked residents woke up to find themselves literally burried under 6 or more feet  of snow. Here is a sample of what they saw on Tuesday morning courtesy of Albany Meteorologist Greg Pollak:

Damn right, if 90% of qualified doctors tell me i need an op or i'll die, I always go with the 10% who tell me not to have the op.

 

Lemme go ahead and correct that for reality.

There are no sides and no controls in science - you just measure & prove/disprove.

AGW is a result of many conclusive measurements.

There are less than 10% of "scientists" who deny AGW. The media refuses deniers? Check Fox News or Forbes, for Christ's sake! Academic publications tend to refuse most of the Anthony Watts, Stephen Goddard or Heartland Institute stuff for the simple reason that they don't follow scientific method and their conclusions are easily debunkable through such method. That paranoid idea that AGW deniers are being chased and ostracized is typical of a troubled mind. If they were we would already have a binding international treaty on CO2 emissions. We don't. What do you make of it, huh? And which countries have fought harder against such a treaty? Take the calm pill dude...

With all due respect, you sound very young and naive to believe that "science and its method", as you put it, exist in a utopic vacuum, where human failings and fallibilities are non-existent and that everything some "scientific authority" states is reality and devoid of any political agendas. Sorry Achtung, reality is much more intricate and subtle than your black/white perception. I do admire your passion however, even though it is misguided and instigated from without. Direct your energy into something useful, rather than posting ad hominems to thoughtful people who disagree with your belief system. Let me guess, you also believe in black-holes, dark matter, dark energy and the Big Bang. There is no difference between those fantastical epicyclic conjurings than 2 elephants standing on a giant turtle holding up the flat earth. In my Universe the elephant and turtle are invisible and I have no problem coming up with mathematical formulas describing the dynamics of earth-elephant-turtle interactions which are consistent with reality. You see how that works? Science is in a crisis my friend. You would know this if you were actively engaged in honest research, rather than searching for validation of your world-view. You put your faith in the "methods" being performed honestly and accurately. That's your first mistake. Then you spout vitriol to those who disagree with your unfounded interpretation of provably nonsensical "science". Second mistake. You know how the saying goes...humans were given two ears and only one mouth for a reason...to listen twice as much as one speaks.

Here's a little anecdote to drive home my point. In the 70s, "scientific authorities" were telling us to avoid butter and other saturated fats. It was pounded into peoples' heads incessantly by the media. I had friends who would croak seeing me slather butter on everything. They would state emphatically with a patronizing tone, "You know you should be using margarine instead of that unhealthy butter, don't you?" They were literally getting angry at me for not agreeing with the 'science and its method' that was telling them to replace butter with margarine. Even when I explained the manufacturing chemical process involved in turning inedible vegetable oils into something palatable and the fact that margarine was not a properly digestible food source, they would continue parroting what they had been told by the 'authorities'. Well, what are cardiologists telling us today about butter? Oh, we're sorry we made a mistake, butter (from clean milk) is actually healthy for your heart and saturated fats are healthy for your brain development and hormonal balance, and proper absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients, etc. Oh and by-the-way stop eating margarine because its not food. The same ill-fated media campaign has raged against salt. Did you know that North Americans are sodium deprived? Maybe it has to do with the fact that everyone is treating salt in food as if it were some kind of poison, because the same scientific authorities are telling us that salt will give you high-blood pressure and related cardiovascular problems. This can't be farther from the truth. So the scientists keep getting the science wrong and yet you continue to put our faith in their 'authority'.

There are reams of similar and more deleterious examples, especially with respect to pharmaceuticals. So what makes you think they have the 'science' right on a million-variable system such as climate? Cheers.

Someone here never heard of Karl Popper or falsifiability in science 'tseems. And don't confuse the scientific consensus with some hyped up (mostly industry based) "facts", which specially in the food health area, tends to happen. Many times food industry will hype certain conclusions from certain studies, without actually doing due dilligence or waiting for those conclusions to be more extensively peer reviewed.

No need to use snow as a beer fridge.  In ND we just put warm beer in front of the radiator on the car and drove a few miles when it was below zero.  The beer was ice cold in only a few minutes.

God help them! I have a lot of problems going into today but they are minor compared to what these folks are facing.  This is why I should not bitch about a pilot light on a furnace acting up after a tenant's gas is restored after months of being off for nonpayment or a sink ripped off the wall last night in a tenant's martial arts school.

In our fast moving world some stories that should be noted often are overlooked and ignored. We all saw and heard about hurricane Sandy, in addition to flooding the subway system of New York and halting financial trading Sandy may of even tilted the Presidential election. If Sandy had indeed made a difference in the election outcome one might say Sandy had the impact of also altering our future.  

While we are becoming more use to these uncommon "weather occurrences", it is possible that we should be viewing them as a warning of worse yet to come. More on this subject in the article below, if these "freak" events increase it will become very costly.

Yep. Many failed to listen, or refused to, but the climate scientists stated quite clearly that a warming atmosphere would hold more moisture, and global warming would not be linear. Anyone who denies that the planet is warming at this point, man made or not, is an idiot. There are clearly many idiots among us.

He expected me to refute all the research that was paid for by putting a gun to my head and stealing my money (an my kids in all honesty as most of the $$ comes from deficits), by wasting more of my energy refuting it.

Planet has NOT cooled for the last 15 years. Get your head out of your oil-funded ass. 2005 was the hottest year and the hottest 12 month period was from 6/2009 - 5/2010. The oil cherrypicking dies when you consider trends, which is what matters in climate science. And trends, specially that about heat on the ocean, tells quite the clear story.

How long of a "trend" are we taking, and what percentage of the 500 million years of inhabitable time of earth does said "trend" encompass.

Unless you have millions of year "trends" than I don't want to hear it.

Last Saturday I made some extra cash doing a wheel bearing and a brake job, about 250 bucks. Based on this "trend" I'm going to make an extra 12,000 this year....Hopefully you see my point.

No I don't. Perhaps because you don't understand shit. If you want a 500 million year trend, then that won't account for any climate change ever. Take heat content from atmosphere and land + sea and tell me what you se happening since the mid '70s. And then tell me why that's not valid.

There will never be a "trend" or data set that can prove or disprove anything regarding "climate change" it can't be done. Recorded history is far too short.

Ask people to limit fossil fuel usage for something other than the climate changing. Air quality, species extinction, cancer prevention, unsustainability, or just to be environmentally morale.

And you believe the climate-gate BS? Solar cycles? orbital changes? Sun has been pretty much in the cooling yet temps keep on the rise. If you were so much of a licensed scientist, you'd know the enormous importance of the atmosphere in climate. But you don't seem to understand that either. There was an American university which had it's whole climatology 1st year and showed the basics of it all. When I get home I'll look for the link, if I remember where it was. It'd do you some good.

Oil companies are also gas companies. A carbon tax kills coal power plants. Utilities switch to gas. Demand for gas goes up. Price of gas goes up. Oil companies make a fortune. This is why if you bother to do any reseach, oil companies fund greenpiss and the like, rather than skeptics.

NASA has grant money to protect by finding warming where none exists. They have fudged the data from the 30's lower and the recent data higher to show that earth has warmed since the 20's...but raw data shows a decline in trend since the 30's. The number of climate stations with days above 9o F and especially 100F has declined makedly in the US in the last 10 years. Winters are colder for a good deal of the country, outside of the west coast where it has been warmer and drier. from the Northern Plains to NEW england, last winter was 5-10F below normal for DEC-FEB.

It's called LAKE EFFECT and has absolutely nothing to do with atmospheric moisture.  Cold winds move across the warm lake picking up the moisture dropping it as snow.  It happens every year in buffalo and surrounding area until the relatively shallow lake freezes over.

But, we all know that "climate changer monkeys" see the hand of man(n) everywhere.

As for the snow, another big fucking deal. I grew up there and am old enough to have lived through a number of blizzards (missed the "1977 blizzard" though) in my youth and shoveled many a sidewalk. For people that still live in places where the winter can dump 60 inches, are you retarded? Move. No one would blame you if you left the corruption and high taxes of NY. Just be sure to leave your politicial beliefs behind. They are not wanted anywhere but California. I could rant all day at this point.
