Blistering cold air blasted across most of the country Tuesday, and a lake-effect snowstorm hammered the Great Lakes and parts of New York, hitting some places with more than 6 feet of snow — so much that the National Guard was activated around Buffalo. More than 100 miles of the New York State Thruway were closed, trapping a college basketball team on its bus more than 24 hours and counting.
The National Weather Service said Tuesday night that some areas of the Buffalo suburbs were approaching 76 inches of snow since Monday — that’s the record for snowfall over a 24-hour period anywhere in the U.S. ever.
“This is a very intense storm, one of those record storms that we are going to remember for a few years beyond this date,” Buffalo Public Works Commissioner Steven Stepniak said.
