Feet of snow across parts of central New York caused more than two dozen homes and businesses to collapse under its weight, according to Oswego County officials.
A lake-effect snowstorm started on Feb. 14 and did not let up until Feb. 19, piling feet of snow on roofs.
According to the National Weather Service’s Buffalo office, the highest weekly totals included 79.1 inches in Palermo and 55.8 inches in Minetto.
On Feb. 19, the city of Oswego had 20 inches of snow on the ground, the highest snow depth so far in February, according to the NWS.

Welcome to snow country.
Snow is no longer a thing. I was told 18 years ago by Al Gore that winter would be disappear.
I wonder if FEMA will get a call. And if so, will Elon answer the phone?
More Global Warming.
Who woulda thunk that was possible......
Due to global warming, the snow is particularly heavy and no one wants to shovel it off their roofs.
It has disappeared we can’t beleive pur lying eyes that tell us that snow is caving in rooves lol
Actually I can see it happening. My cousin who is a widower living in Maine. Had several feet of snow on her roof. She’s 85 so can’t manage it herself. The neighbors came over and shoveled it off her roof. She now hired a company to shovel for her but that first winter without her husband was pretty hard.
I take it Al is in New York giving a speech on global warming. Paid for USAID, aka taxpayers.
Tumble down shack in Big Foot county
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
And the old man never was the same again
I have an Avalanche roof rake to avoid ice dams but it works like a charm vs. the traditional roof scrapers. If you Google it, the rake works exactly as advertised.
What a complete shock!!! It is winter, it snowed a lot in Buffalo, NY. Yikes! Are we going to all die tonight? Maybe we should slaughter 110,000,000 more chickens as some sort of offering?
Look at the pics and snow amount on buildings in the background. It’s not that much. The roofs that collapsed must have been under-designed or had rotting trusses. What a stupid article. Trying to make crappy roof structures all about snow/weather.
Somebody is going to want a shot at the USAID Slot Machines to try to win 2 billion taxpayer dollars worth of “environmental justice.”
Indeed. Its completely normal for this ara.
This is occurring on the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Because Lake Ontario almost never freezes (it is very deep) the lake effect snow machine lasts all winter season
This area averages something like 300 inches of snow a winter.
I thought there wasn’t supposed to be any more snow after the year 2000.

If I lived in Buffalo, I sure as h3ll would have an Avalanche roof rake.
These places mentioned are actually northwest of Syracuse.
The lake effect is coming off of Ontario.
The area south of Buffalo where I grew up gets its snow off off Lake Erie. Which right now is almost completely frozen over. It is only on average 30 feet deep.
Lake Ontario and the rest of the Great Lakes never completely freeze over. Just the bays or some shore line.
Therefore, the downwind areas can get hammered all winter long. Syracuse(where I attended college) is the snowiest major city in the country.
