4 feet of snow is to Western NY what a tropical storm is to Florida.

Probably don't want to be outside in it, but other than that, things will return to normal surprisingly fast.

Dump 6 inches of liquid water on a city and you'll be mocked endlessly if you worry about a little bit rain.

While just one inch of frozen completely paralyzes the entire city, everyone all freaks out unless the ice on the roads is taken care of

Six inches of liquid water, on average, would be about 60-80" of snow.

Yeah, I may have been too hasty in my defense of frozen water, because I was mostly thinking about snow.

Western NY will shrug off 4 feet of snow quickly, but what actually hosed the area up badly was an October ice/snow storm in 2006. The perfect combination of rain/snow with falling temps that ended up with a thick coating of ice on everything and then snow sticking on top of that. Ended up destroying entire neighborhoods worth of trees, knocking out power for days/a week for a large portion of the population, and the attendant deaths and injuries.

Did the northeast get a normal fall, or are the trees still covered in leaves?

nyc peaks later than most areas but we have lots of bare trees and still some leafy species left. had just the one week of hot weather otherwise its been cool at night. day length might be a bigger factor than temp for some species idk.

There has to be foreigners who see a headline that Buffalo New York is going to get four feet of snow and they think they're talking about NYC. Because they don't know New York is larger than most European countries
