How Much Snow Is Needed For You To Leave New York?

We are still seeing snow all across New York this week and we want to know how much is too much snow.

I live in Hamburg, New York and we had over 36 inches of snow this past weekend as someone who grew up in West Seneca I am no stranger to snow, but 36 inches is A LOT of snow.

I was talking with my wife Elizabeth and we thinking out loud about when it would be time to leave Western New York because of the snow. Right now as a 46-year-old, I don't mind shoveling or pushing the snow blower but my back ached this past week.

So how much snow is too much snow? My wife Elizabeth said 3 inches is way too much. For me after last year's two snow storms that dumped over 7 feet of snow and this year's 3 feet, I think another 5 feet and I will have to consider moving out of the area. 15 feet might be my limit.

We asked on social media and got lots of different answers. From people like my wife Elizabeth who said an inch or two to people who were saying no amount of snow would drive them away.

If you are one of the people that love the snow. Just know that more is coming our way. Most of New York State will get snow at some point this week.
