The record-breaking storm which rolled in on Christmas Eve after an
extraordinarily mild November and December buried cars, shrubs, trash
cans and mailboxes, reached windowsills, and swallowed up Christmas lawn
displays. Buffalo's airport was closed, along with most major roads.
Among the records set:
The 83.5 inches of snow this month 82.3 of it since Monday makes
this the snowiest month in Buffalo history. The old record of 68.4
inches had stood since December 1985.
The 35.4 inches of snow that fell from 6 a.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday
ranks as the second-highest 24-hour total in Buffalo history. The record
is 37.9 inches, Dec. 9-10, 1995.
The 45 inches on the ground at the National Weather Service's airport
measuring station Friday eclipsed the 42-inch record set in January
1977. The reading was less than the total snowfall because some snow had
melted or had become compacted.
At least two deaths were blamed on the storm.
