00:00 Got about 3 feet here in Hamburg so far.
00:07 Oh man.
00:08 Look at this.
00:09 Almost up to my waist.
00:10 Very heavy snow continuing.
00:11 2 to 3 inches per hour I would say.
00:12 This is going to be a fun walk.
00:26 You guys ready?
00:27 Woo!
00:37 Cars are buried.
00:59 Drift is going up the tree.
01:00 This is crazy.
01:01 Absolutely buried there.
01:11 In terms of visibility I would say about a half a mile or so.
01:28 Actually less than that, a quarter of a mile.
01:38 Woo.
01:41 That's just buried.
01:48 I apologize for my breathing.
01:54 These roads have not been plowed so it's a tough walk.
01:59 6 foot fence there.
02:18 This is actually about 3 inches per hour I'd say.
02:22 Oh man.
02:26 Some more buried cars.
02:36 I don't know if you guys can see but there is literally over 2 feet of snow.
02:48 I mean look at this in the road.
02:55 In the road.
03:00 Look at this.
03:05 What the heck.
03:10 I'm going to have to get my camera out of the way.
03:39 This is a good workout.
04:06 Winds are gusting pretty high right now.
04:14 It's a big mountain of snow in the middle of the road.
04:28 This is over 3, almost 4 inches per hour probably right now.
04:36 You can see the snow is halfway up these garages.
04:41 Look at that coming off the roof there.
04:47 That's crazy.
04:57 More buried cars.
05:05 I got a buried RV and a boat.
05:10 Look at that.
05:11 Just really goes to show you how much snow has fallen so far.
05:24 It's picking up again.
05:30 That's a house that's getting buried.
05:59 The lakes have definitely gotten a little bit more fluffier than the first part of the storm where it was very very wet.
06:18 I mean guys look at this.
06:20 Look at this.
06:24 It's just crazy.
06:34 I'm going to turn around here and go back.
06:39 I'm in this direction out of the west southwest.
06:43 Right out over the lake.
06:50 Reports of some water spots near the Buffalo Harbor.
06:56 The record warm lake temps have really fueled this band.
07:15 Not quite as high snowfall rates as the November 2014 event.
07:22 But definitely topped out over 5 inches per hour overnight here.
07:40 Man.
07:47 Really starting to come down again.
07:51 I'm going to turn around.
08:20 Man.
08:49 Snowfall rate has increased 3.5 inches per hour I'd say right about now.
08:54 As you can see the visibility has decreased.
08:58 It's going between like 2 and 4 inches per hour on average.
09:03 Picked up 21.5 inches in 6 hours overnight which is just crazy.
09:12 Hey!
09:17 Crazy!
09:36 I don't know if you guys can see this but there is just so much snow on the road.
09:40 I'm going to walk.
09:55 It's so beautiful though.
09:57 Look at that.
10:26 Oh man.
10:28 It's buried.
10:44 I feel like the snow has picked up again.
10:46 This is unreal.
11:15 Alright.
11:25 Let's see how much we end up with after all this.
11:29 this.
