From the Southtowns to Niagara County, Buffalo News staff peered outside Friday morning to gauge the impact of the winter storm on their neighborhoods.
Not surprisingly and as predicted, the results were far from uniform. Hamburg and other Southtowns felt the brunt of the storm in its first 12 hours, with accumulation exceeding 2 feet, with the Northtowns and Niagara County dusting off a few inches and wondering when it would receive its expected share.
Check back for more updates over the course of the storm.
Weโre at the point of the storm where the drifts are so high, you have to first *shovel off* the top of the snow bank before you can even hit it with the snowblower. pic.twitter.com/mJD1NTB7AI

Hardly any snow had fallen in parts of Hamburg as of midnight, but this morning was a different story. Obviously the volume is nowhere close to November 2014, but the relentlessness of the snowfall the last few hours reminds me of eight years ago. pic.twitter.com/rZ2T6BMy6X

Snowfall of 18 inches in East Aurora, which (to quote my son) now resembles Hoth, the frozen planet from Star Wars. pic.twitter.com/k6scAPY3Yk

Quite a bit more eerie as we approach Sahlen Field. Washington Street could use another plow or two. @TheBuffaloNews pic.twitter.com/fEYzVUb9D1

A snowplow just drove past my house in Lewiston, NY, but we don't need plows here. Just a dusting so far. pic.twitter.com/10Ew2GHOBX

This is West Amherst, a mile from the Niagara County line. I followed the forecasts very closely and this is what was expected. More to come. And more to come. pic.twitter.com/bNqGMqPYuw

In Town of Tonawanda, we had heavy snow for about 2 hours last night, ending around 10:30. 4,5 inches total. Nothing since, except falling leaves. Town supervisor tells me all roads (even new roundabouts) cleared. Salters back out. Garbage/recycling on regular routes today. pic.twitter.com/iAxG0vHRvU

Personal storm update on a platform that still works! Roughly six inches at West Utica and Delaware. In 5 minutes of aimless wandering, saw as many people as cars. West Utica has a thick coating of slush. Startlingly clear skies, break in precipitation at edge of Elmwood Village. pic.twitter.com/rqZZ1oEpZ7
