January 28 - The Legendary "Blizzard of ‘77"

This was as much a Canada story as it was a US story.  But the worst of it did definitely hit Western NY.  Through the 5 days of this, there were daily peak wind gusts ranging from 74 to 111 km/hr. Snowfall totals were as high as 254 cm in the worst hit areas!! And we had winds creating drifts blowing 30 to 40 ft (9 to 12 m) high. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
