Holy mother of God, check out the giant snow wall swallowing Buffalo

Holy mother of God, check out the giant snow wall swallowing Buffalo, A wall of snow has swallowed Buffalo, New York, this morning. NOAA meteorologists say it's a heavy snow lake effect. Check out the videos, plus the aerial photos (like the above posted by WBEN NewsRadio's Facebook) and satellite images. Good luck everyone. Updating with photos and video...

From NOAA: Heavy snow is forecast for downwind areas of the Great Lakes region from Tuesday into Wednesday with the eastern shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario seeing impressive snow totals greater than 18 inches in limited bands near Fredonia and Watertown, New York. This image was taken by GOES East at 1445Z on November 18, 2014.

Some people don't care, however, and they went surfing to Lake Erie, in Sunset Bay.

The temperatures in the United States have dropped dramatically. Tuesday had the coldest morning since 1976. Freezing temperature blanketed the entire country, as this amazing map shows.
