The Sky Falls on Buffalo

 Buffalo is hit by blizzard onTuesday, Nov.18, 2014... Parts of New York measured the season's first big snowfall in feet, rather than inches, as 3 feet of lake-effect snow blanketed the Buffalo area. The Thruway Authority said white-out conditions caused by wind gusts of more than 30 mph forced the closure of Interstate 90 in both directions from the Rochester area to Ripley, on the Pennsylvania border 60 miles southwest of Buffalo. Heavy snow also fell in Southern Ontario with gusting winds and below freezing temperatures. Winter has arrived in grand fashion.
