massive snow accumulation, winter weather

Western New York has had severe winter weather and massive snow accumulation in the last few days, and from reports the situation is only going to get worse before it gets better. The latest severe weather is being blamed for 8 deaths, and at least 2 Canadians have been stranded in New York since Tuesday and still can not get home. The entire area is snow bound, and digging out will be no easy feat. On top of the massive snow accumulation which has reached as high as 5 feet so far there is more snow on the way, and western New York can expect another 30 inches in some areas. 58 year old Chuck Specht, who lives in Marilla, New York, reported that his home had 7 feet of snow in the last few days. “I’ve been in a lot of snowstorms, and this is by far the worst. There’s been more snow in the shortest period of time I’ve ever seen. Even for seasoned veterans, this is getting to be a bit much to handle.”

The winter weather and massive snow accumulation in western New York has kept much of the state in limbo, with people unable to get out of their homes or stranded in their vehicles on the roads. Sunday was supposed to be a big day for the Buffalo Bills, and the NFL team was slated to play against the New York Jets. The game has been canceled out of concern for public safety, and some areas are importing bus loads of workers to help clear out some of the snow.
