Just after 11 p.m. Saturday, the National Weather Service in Buffalo issued a special statement, warning of a band of heavy snow accompanied by high winds, creating a "burst of snow" in western New York state.

By Sunday morning, winds shifted more westerly, meaning the heaviest lake-effect snow bands moved south of Buffalo impacting areas from Cleveland to Dunkirk, New York. Buffalo was no longer under a lake-effect snow warning but remained under a winter weather advisory through Sunday evening for "blowing snow."

While the Buffalo area is used to dealing with heavy snowfall, this storm is delivering "much more than we usually get," Mayor Byron Brown told CNN on Saturday. Continue scrolling to check out the images we at Bored Panda gathered to show just how extreme the situation looks.

    The USA really needs to invest more money in disaster relief. The way things are going, we can expect some major climate catastrophe almost every year.

    Memories. Ah, memories. I'm 5-10. We have pics of me in snow to my chin when I was a mere 5-8. ( In metric, 1.73 meters tall at five-foot-eight-inches.) And, to be honest, the snow kept the wind off you, so it was kinda better than no-snow-and-wind.

    Can confirm. I live in the Northtowns of the Buffalo area. Less than 5-6 inches. My coworker who is down by the stadium had over 3 feet and it was still coming down last I talked to him. Plus, he lost power.

    For the uninitiated, 'lake effect' is the original band of moisture coming in, which picks up more moisture and speed from the lake, joins with the prevailing wind and dumps it on the designated shore. (That would be us.) Ice on the lake limits how much water the snow/rain band can pick up, and how far inland the resulting mess will travel.
