Worst winter storms in WNY history
I have a feeling they didn't dig very far into the newspaper archives for this story.

The Valentines Day Storm
Some quick cellphone pictures from the Valentines Day 2014 snowstorm, where we got close to 2 feet on top of the existing foot of snow, leading to some awful tall snowbanks along the road.
Like Usual, We Missed the Snow Jackpot
This past snowstorm wasn't bad. But we still missed out on the snow jackpot, compared to what they got in the Berkshires.
More from the good folks at NOAA…
Yeah for the Snow
Today marks the second day of the winter when we’ve had snow. That’s good, because until this point it’s been largely a snowless winter, and last year was pretty snowless.
But snow is both essential to the economy, the environment, and way of life in New York State. It provides a surface for skiers, snowmobilers, and snowshoers to get back into the woods.
It refreshes the natural environment, by insulating the ground, while killing off excessive deer, mice, and ticks.
… So yeah, to another snowy day!
41 Degrees
Today’s average high is supposed to be 41 degrees.
Much warmer then the cold weather of recent.
41 degrees may not be warm
but it’s warm enough to be melting the snow.
Exposing the bare ground
and showing the first signs of spring.
It may be cold and snowy today,
but spring is most certainly just around the corner.
