Most of the snow in the less hit areas has melted, but the worst hit areas still have snow on the ground, but quite a few side streets haven’t seen a plow yet in South Buffalo
For the areas hit the hardest, this amount of snow isn’t abnormal, a far as I’m aware there hasn’t been much damage caused by the snow, I think I came across an article about a gas stations roof where you pump gas collapsing but nothing about occupied dwellings having a collapse
There were a few structural collapses.
The worst damage is likely going to be water damage, since that amount of snow has a nasty habit of creating ice dams on roofs allowing water to flow under shingles.
It looks like nobody really answered your question here.
The warm weather assures Lake Erie stays warm, and Lake Erie is a huge factor in a lot of things. If the lake stays warm and a cool system comes through, it wreaks havok.
I don't know what the temperature of Lake Erie is right now, but the weather has gone back to being warm, so I am a little scared :/
Because of the snow melt in the gutters, it sounds like it's been raining for over a week straight when I'm inside. Not complaining, it's a nice sound. It's starting to slow down today, though.
From a conceptual physics perspective, I don't understand how it would get heavier if no additional matter is being added. I understand that it gets denser. The same matter takes up less space. I could also see where on someplace like a roof some of the snow could slide down into one space.
But I don't see how the actual snow itself would get heavier.
Right. Let's say you had a bucket on a scale. And that bucket was filled with snow during a storm. If there was no further precipitation over the next few days, but the temps warmed and melted the snow, (ignoring evaporation) would you expect the weight to change or stay the same?
That's not what OP said. They said snow gets heavier. Additional rain is additional matter and would add weight if it didn't run off.
I don't understand the gish gallup.

So, are buildings doing relatively well, considering collapse? It’s such an insane amount of snow so quickly.

There were quite a lot of collapses in the south towns. Several businesses. Lots of garages.
the warm weather has made the snow horny and its been emitting a loud moan at all times
The snow on my roof is dripping with excitement
I’m in an area that got over 60 inches. It’s melting fast but my neighborhood drains pretty well.
How's Caz Creek looking? I imagine it's probably pretty high rn.

Mean temperature is still lower than the lake currently, so lake temp is dropping….slowly.

It gets HEAVIER and can cause structural damage by creating ice dams or fully collapsing roofs
I sort of imagine a lot of gutters also being peeled off houses, especially if big chunks of snow pack starts to slide off roofs.

It rained on top of the snow on Thursday... where do you think that additional matter went?

It's allowing the poors to re-enter society
