irishfield Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 They're gonna need a survey crew just to tell them where the street is ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 That's wid. Thought I saw where temps could hit the 50's by Monday. That could cerate another mess for the folks up there. Just imagine how heavy that 7 or 8 feet of snow on the roofs will be when the warm temps arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Here's a great bunch of pics from Buffalo. I especially like the fifth from the bottom. The guy digging out his car. That looks like fun. http://globalnews.ca/news/1680475/in-photos-incredible-images-as-historic-snowstorm-blankets-upstate-new-york/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Sorry guys. Its 9 degree today, feels like double digits. It is overcast, but the maples still haven't fully shed there leaves and I sat by the river today having my lunch on a bench in a dress shirt. No need for a jacket yet.

landry Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Decades of global data discredited by lake effect snowstorm in south Buffalo. That is a priceless comment. Well done:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just imagine how heavy that 7 or 8 feet of snow on the roofs will be when the warm temps arrive. Actually if it doesn't rain, it will be less every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Actually if it doesn't rain, it will be less every minute. Pick up a shovel full of snow on a cold day, then pick up the same amount of snow on a warm day and what do you notice ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was just having fun with us. Like " what is heavier a pound of lead or a pound of feathers ??" But yes , rain will make the situation very bad.

But yes , rain will make the situation very bad. I think you are right. 7 feet of snow on a roof weighs the same or LESS once the temp rise and it finally starts to melt, at least as far as weight on the roof. And as Lew has said it now heavier to shovel it off, but no need to unless rain is in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I thought I heard of some possible rain this week-end up there - then hit 60 by Monday. Those folks could have some additional problems - that they really don't need. Buddy of mine says West Senaca has 8' already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 So far down here there have been 30 roof collapses, and i believe 70 partial collapses. They evacuated a nursing home in the town next to me for fear of a collapse (2 elderly folks died during the transport which makes the death total 12). Ive seen states of emergency come and go over the years with snow storms, but this one.......is the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mills Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 The pictures are incredible. You really have to be prepared down there. I hope your community is getting the state and federal support it needs. I'm surprised there have not been more deaths. I believe snow shovelling alone results in a large number of heart attacks each year. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
