The Blizzard of ’77, also known as the “Blizzard that Buried Buffalo”, was one for the record books. The Blizzard of ’77 was from January 28, where winds were over 35 mph for nine consecutive hours and zero visibility lasted for 13 consecutive hours. These blizzard conditions lasted until February 2

The Blizzard of '77 caused 29 deaths, many due to people trapped in their vehicles.

When combined with the high winds, this all provided plenty of snow to reduce visibilities and create drifts of 30 feet in some places, in what was described as cement-like snow. President Carter declared several counties a federal disaster area, which was the first time ever for a snowstorm in the US.

The snow season ended with 198.9”, which still ranks as the snowiest on record for the city. That is more than double the normal 94.7 inches they see in a season and more than the last two seasons combined.
