That background snow picture has appeared many times. I remember being labeled at the 33 with the Welcome to Buffalo sign that is at the city line (by the cemeteries)on the 33.

Just go to any neighborhood and say you are looking for s DuperBowl party. Someone will invite you in. After SB XXV we were driving home and the roads were packed like it was rush hour.

In 77, my uncle was going home to Alden and got stuck in Lancaster. I don't know which one it was at but he and about 20 people including a cop or two got stuck at an elementary school. He said the cop had pull a gun on two women to get them to get out of their car and into the school. They broke into the cafeteria and had enough to eat.

Blumenthal anyone? He lied about serving in Vietnam h

Sabres rusty? Up 5-0 over Red Wings after 2!

Climate Change my @SS ! 39 (as of 12/29) dead from global warming!

Lived in Hartford, CT in the early 90s. Bunch of us Bills Backers were going to a Sabres-Whalers game on a Saturday afternoon. They said there was a storm coming but being from Buffalo, we said no problem. Got to the arena and it started snowing. It was N'oreaster! Since the Sabres were already in town, the rule was they had to hold the game. Can't remember where our seats were, but only 1-2K people showed up and we sat 2 rows behind the Sabres bench. On the way home there was close to 6" on the interstate out of town. Took me over 2 hours to drive the less than 10 miles to Bristol, CT (lived ¼ mile from ESPN). The two games we had postponed this week were because the other team couldn't get into town.

The county did a fine job. The city has problems.

My brother plows for Erie County. He spent from noon on Christmas Eve to Monday evening at Midnight at work, just getting cat naps when he could. Finally was off yesterday and slept 12 straight hours. He said the first streets they plowed were the mains and then the streets with nursing homes. The plow operators are working the hardest they can. He had to go through the same situation in 2014. Hopefully the next time it happens., he'll be retired.

BS is a bot or a Pats or Fins fan. All are vile.

Both the Wherle Dr. (Clarence) and Paddock (Kenmore/Tonawanda) golf domes have been destroyed.

I think is from this morning. We had some sun in the morning. It is a color photo. Alost all I have seen from '77 are black and white. Plus this is from a drone and they weren't around then. I think thesis from above the light at the McD's and Wegman's just north of Transit and Losson Rd /William. I see the Wendy's sign on the left which would be Lancaster. That is how it looks here.

"Trying to stop the season from slipping away..." That happened in sSeptember for Green Bay.

Nobody is traveling in Cheektowaga either. I live a few doors from William Street on a county road. We have had a high lift come down the street once Friday, onceSaturday and once today, That is likely because there is a nursing home on the street. Landlord's son (landlord lives next door) tried cleaning out our drive,. Got one car length in and got his pickup with a plow stuck for about 2 hours this morning.

First time I was in FL (in Jan) I pull unto the drive thru at McD's wearing shorts (it was 65). The girl was wearing a hoodie and mittens! She says to me "you must be a snowbird".

The highway scenes were filmed on a closed own 219.

7-8 foot drifts in Cheektowaga

Two enormous bonehead plays by the pats in 2 weeks

Looking out the window just before the Billsgame started. Like a switch, the wind picked up and the plow sitting a few doors down disappeared into the blown ng snow. The lare effect is moving back south.

First vehicle I have heard going down my street since 8 AM yesterday. Is a highlift. I am on a county road in Cheektowaga. They are now doing the other side. May be my brother who plows with the county highway dept.

Take break for a few days.In WNY.A nything on PPP is about 1,000,000th on the list. We are concerned about staying safe first and then a distant second is the Bills game.

Lake effect band has move up to Grand Island through Lockport. Will be moving back down to Buffalo/ Cheektowaga in a few hours. Channel 7 reporter is downtown outside the old Police HQ (across from County Hall). Can see about a block or so. At old police HQ, one side pavement. Around corner, snow over his knees. County exec said this is just as bad or worse than '77 ⅔ of emergency service vehicles stuck. No emergency services in Buff/Cheek/Kenton/Lanc. Two people died in Cheektowaga (medical events, not frozen). 2 County highlifts center( took almost two hours to go from their garage to the County EmergencyCenter (2 miles). The storm will continue through tomorrow afternoon.

News just said we had 16.8" today. Can't tell s the first snow this AM got plastered on the windows and I can't knock it off. I'm on the second floor. They said we are supposed to get an additional 36-48 " by Sunday evening. With gusts today in the 70s, this felt like '77.

Last summer they started putting the lights on poles along main routes. For example, Transit road at the WS/Cheek/Lancaster/Elma border. Looks like state roads. Putting in the blinking yellow left turn arrows too.

Actually those senes from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles were filmed on the 219.
