Holy Moly. Buffalo has 3 feet of snow and could get up to 6 feet [View all]

Western New York is getting buried in a lake effect snow storm, and more white stuff is on the way.

The National Weather Service said Tuesday afternoon that some parts could get nearly 6 feet of snow by Thursday. Some areas, including south Buffalo, Lancaster and West Seneca, have already reported more than 3 feet of accumulation, and the "incredible" weather could bring a total of 70 inches to the hardest hit towns.
