Historic Lake-Effect Snowstorm Drops 4 Feet On Copenhagen, New York

A historic winter storm, fueled by powerful lake-effect snow, has crippled portions of western and northern New York.

Copenhagen, a town nestled near Lake Ontario, bore the brunt of the storm, receiving a staggering 58.8 inches of snow over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Some areas, like Barnes Corners, have seen accumulations of over 5 feet.

Drone footage captured by storm chaser Aaron Rigsby reveals the immense scale of the snowfall in Copenhagen on Monday, showing the town buried under a thick blanket of snow.

I live in Buffalo and in 2000 we got 6' of snow in 24 hours, it was insane. I didn't have a snowblower because my walk was so short. I remember tossing snow over my head to get rid of it.

TODAY'S HISTORIC SNOW -2024**
Over the heads of all I meet
Falls winter's life giving snow.
Upon the rooftops and the streets
Filling the sky and earth below.

Dancing, swirling, skimming along,
Like the snows of yesteryears.
There's lots of ice on the windows
As my lashes freeze over with tears.

It's so cold; it's too cold to snow
Yet the snow continues to fall.
The land is covered blanket white
As the winter winds wail their call.

There's a red-hot fire awaiting me
That will thaw out my every part.
It's not the glow of a fireplace
But the love that dwells in my heart.

Definitely historic!! These lake effect systems are getting larger and larger. The snow is melting quicker and quicker as well…. Which isn’t surprising considering all else.

Historic? Back in the 70' s we used to play in 4 feet of snow in Lansing Michigan, it used to be the ice age. Now it's global warming. Wow I am impressed, not.

Thunder snow? What happened to bomb river snow.
.... that's what happens when meteorologists smoke too much weed
