An aerial view of downtown Buffalo, New York, completely covered in snow during the Blizzard of 1977. High-rise office buildings and shorter commercial structures are clustered near the center of the image, with streets, highways, and highway ramps barely visible beneath thick snow cover. The city grid appears muted and pale, with few visible vehicles or signs of activity, emphasizing the scale of the storm. Printed text at the top reads “BUFFALO, New York” and “Blizzard of ’77.”
