Looks like the winds have died down now temporarily on Mt Washington, until what we have here hits them (they are farther east) but it looks like this morning at about 8:00 A.M they had a wind gust of 150 mph on a 117mph average wind speed!https://www.mountwashington.org/experience-the-weather/current-summit-conditions.aspx
On the news they showed some pictures of houses that are right on the shore of Lake Ontario in Buffalo, the high winds coming off the lake made for huge waves around 25 feet, when they crashed on the rocks at shoreline they generated a massive amount of spray that flash-froze on the houses there since the temperatures were so low, around -10F. Amazing photos!
Chris, I’m confused.I have a friend that lives in Buffalo near the banks of Lake Erie. Are there more than one Buffaloes? Obviously towns. Amazing photo though. I haven’t personally witnessed as much heavy snow and ice since the winter of 62/63. Graham.
Whoops, reread my post and saw that I said Lake Ontario, should have said Lake Erie. Ontario starts north of there on the downhill side of Niagara Falls. I am close to Lake Ontario, and mistyped.

I am close to Lake Ontario, and mistyped.Having spent the best part of two years just outside of Lockport at a radar site in 52-53 I was about to jump all over that Buffalo and Lake Ontario but you got it fixed before I read this thread. :-) Anyway I missed the winter between 52-53 by going TDY to Kessler in Missisippi so don't have any real first hand experience of that sort of weather there. :-) ...lew...
I saw this photo on another website. The location is Fort Erie, Ontario, on the northern shore of Lake Erie. Just a few miles west of Buffalo.Gene
Here in Vermont we just think of everything west of us as New York state, except if you go too far you hit California. Here if you want to say something is huge, you just say "big as New York", as in "she had a diamond ring as big as New York."We do know Canada is like upwards.
As a kid I wondered why "Westerns" were almost always set somewhere well east of us?
