This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Floridian here (I know, I know) - this is completely foreign to me. What am I looking at? Is that just a huge down burst of... snow?
Pretty much. Buffalo routinely gets hosed by blizzard conditions that don't usually affect the cities on the northern side of the same lake (Toronto, Mississauga, etc). It's feature of being on the south side of one of the Great Lakes.
I remember hearing about one year where Buffalo got 6 feet overnight, or some other complete bullshit.
Thanks! So is this a legit "blizzard" in the pic just rolling up on them out of nowhere?
This picture isn't a blizzard. Just a typical lake effect storm.
Looks a lot like Aphid, aka Storm Knife we got 10 or so years ago.
