While the weather service said up to 4 feet was possible in some areas, AccuWeather said an incredible 6 feet of snow was not outside the realm of possibility.

"Buffalo and its southern suburbs may receive as much as 3 to 6 feet of snow by Sunday," AccuWeather meteorologist Matt Benz said, adding that the heaviest snow may fall over two stretches – Thursday night into Friday and Saturday into Saturday night. "These two periods will likely feature the worst conditions of this event."

  1. In about two years hubby and I are moving up north. We can’t decide between Massachusetts, New York or Pennsylvania. I absolutely love snow, and I think he does too. He’s from England. Back in the early and late 2000’s I lived in Mass. I miss it up that way. Winters here in Kentucky suck (very little snow) and the summers are too hot.
