Buffalo Hit With Early Snowstorm; 3 Die

Oct 13, 5:38 PM (ET)

By CAROLYN THOMPSON


BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo lay all but paralyzed Friday after a record-breaking early snowstorm whited out the brilliant colors of fall, buried pumpkins and apples and caught this city famous for its wintry weather flat-flooted. At least three deaths were blamed on the storm.

The heavy, wet snow snapped tree limbs all over western New York, leaving some 380,000 homes and businesses without power.

A state of emergency was in effect across the region, banning all nonessential travel. Branches and power lines lay draped across cars and houses, and normally busy downtown streets were still, blanketed by up to 2 feet of snow.

"I thought it was kind of pretty but eerie," said Ann Goff, who walked to her job at a Buffalo supermarket in the middle of the night. "It was scary listening to the cracking of the branches."

The snow, delivered in a fury of thunder and lightning, blanketed Buffalo and surrounding areas Thursday night and early Friday. A 105-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway was closed for hours, and food and water had to be delivered by snowmobile to stranded motorists.

Many municipal trucks were still working to remove leaves on Thursday and did not have plows attached when the surprise storm hit.

As workers sawed and hoisted fallen tree limbs full of autumn color, Bitsy Kosovac, 68, of Point Richmond, Calif., tried to trudge out from her Buffalo hotel for a morning walk in ankle-length boots and a light jacket. A foot of slushy snow and the howling wind stopped her before she could get out of the parking lot.

You a smoker, Joey? Al Gore says smoking is a "significant contributor" to global warming... Put out those cigaretts people, you're destroying the planet. :rolleyes:

He didn't notice. He stayed in Mom's (government-subsidized) air conditioned basement the whole time.

Regis Global Warming is used to describe the warming of the earth but the effects of global warming are not just hotter weather. It is also really extreme weather. This snowfall is a form of extreme weather. Really cold and Really hot temperatures.

We can't deny the existance of global warming, its here and it is real. What I do think we can deny is just what the effects of it are going to be long term and what solutions we can implement. I believe we need to work on it now but I think we can come up with different things that together will help reduce problem and in the long run be economically friendly. I think taking options that are very harmful to the economy is an over reaction but we do require a reaction.
