The storm, described as the worst in memory by locals, dumped more than 50 inches of snow in Erie, disrupting travel and stranding vehicles across the region.
The National Weather Service reported snowfall of up to six feet in some areas by Tuesday morning, with Erie seeing more than three feet as residents became trapped indoors.
With Interstate 90 blocked, motorists found themselves stranded on two-lane highways, where temporary shelters were established to accommodate those affected by the severe winter conditions.
Erie’s downtown area, typically bustling, became eerily quiet as residents were confined to their homes, highlighting the dramatic impact of the lake-effect snowstorm.
