BUFFALO, N.Y. — An epic lake effect storm created historic snowfall just south of Buffalo, N.Y. At least 6 feet of snow has fallen — with more on the way.
Residents took to social media and delivered some incredible video and photos from the storm.
To start, check out this video taken by a drone during the storm. Incredible.

Here’s a cool time-lapse of the storm moving in.
Have some good thoughts for the folks in Buffalo today. They need it more than most folks that are just cold. pic.twitter.com/qKHWgTVKIa

Amazingly, the Buffalo Sabres played the San Jose Sharks at home, but not all of the players could make it to the arena, resulting in one of the funnier lists of players being scratched from the game.
#Sabres scratches: Benoit (healthy), Gorges (lower-body injury), Kaleta (snowed in). #SJSvsBUF
