23 People Share Pics Of Insane Snow Piling Up In Binghamton, New York
Not the thickest ever, but still impressive.
It’s crazy right now with the snow in New York. Especially in areas around Binghamton, Endicott, Foster… snow is expected to reach over 40-inch high! The snowstorm has rendered inoperable and trap most people at home. This definitely is going into one of the heaviest snowfall occurrences ever.
Ironically, staying home has never been enforced more than ever now that even nature doesn’t want to see us out.
Seeing the thick snow, people are sharing how tall the snow piles are. Some are talking about snow thicker than their measure tape can ever measure. Some are talking about getting out from the window to shovel their way out. Some are just trapped with their favorite person, and it might not be that bad of a thing.

We urge people to stay safe during heavy snowfall and to stay warm! While it’s definitely fun to plunge into the snow with the kids and pets, pay attention to frostbites and pneumonia signs. The CDC reminds people to check the car’s tires and radiator before driving and avoid traveling if the National Weather Service advises against it.
