Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Buffalo wasn’t quite able to catch its breath overnight as heavy lake effect snows once again blasted the region (and the Tug Hill Plateau area of NY as well).

Another 2-3 feet expected in areas already hard hit.

And there was again thundersnow last night. A friend who lives outside Buffalo reported being awakened by multiple instances. She had just managed to dig a path to the street, and more snow is on the way before the weekend - when temperatures are expected to jump to the upper 50s and low 60s. There’s also a chance of rain, which is a disastrous combination.

We’re going to start hearing about building collapses and widespread flooding as the snow melts and compacts on roofs.
