Now that the heart of the lake effect band has shifted north of the area a bit and visibilities have improved to a whopping 1/8th of a mile, we can finally get a better look at some snow drifts outside the office.依据水牛城当地机构与各地网友的回报,街道满是积雪,车辆早被白雪覆盖,部分地区积雪高度,已来到身高180公分男子的颈部位置左右。居民的住处与家门前的树木也被冰封。

My brother sent me these pics of his house in Buffalo, NY. He lives in a dense urban neighborhood (Black Rock, for those familiar) but you can’t see his neighbors through the snow!His house appears to be alone on a frozen tundra. pic.twitter.com/50TFcxdM90
