The newest HRRR model run has 70 inches of snow falling in less than 24 hours just south of Buffalo, NY.

This is shaping up to be potentially one of the most extreme snowstorms in US history.

3. I saw that on the weather channel. Mother Nature is pissed

Storms getting bigger n more violent. Droughts lasting for decades n I saw tonight where Alaska is gonna start big in agriculture. We were warned many times long ago and still we’re not listening.

5. Is this in your area?

If so, I’m sorry.

When will this snow melt? Will it be there until May?

8. Not me, thank heavens. I live in Eastern Kansas. But I worry about people who will

get hit by this storm. Fortunately my daughter and her family moved from NY a few years ago.

6. This is what happens when you elect Republicans. Is eMpTy Greene going to fix this?

What are GOP plans to address this issue? Why haven't we heard from McCarthy and McConnell yet?

7. The Blizzard of '77.

I think it closed the Buffalo airport for three days. I'm thinking 100 inches of snow fell during that storm. So 70 inches? Pffffttt! Get over it. You are in Buffalo!

I'll add that the reason I remember the Blizzard of '77 was that I worked for an airline in Washington DC that flew to Buffalo. So winter weather mattered a lot, and we paid much attention.

10. Yeah, and what if -

- and this is just me just spitballin' here, the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns organizations and the NFL, instead of shipping the teams off to Detroit, stuck around Buffalo and used all their manly-man wiles, strength, agility etc. and helped the fans and other citizens survive the catastrophic onslaught, likely exacerbated by decades of oil based fuel consumption in support of dragging their sorry football asses to and fro across the country in order to suck as much money out of the fan bases' communities as humanly possible. I know, I know, I'm coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs, why do I hate America, yadda-yadda-yadda.
