In Cheektowaga near William and Union. Had 50 inches yesterday AM and and it was snowing 3-5 inches an hour all day. 3.5 inches at the airport, 60+only two miles away in Lancaster. Went outside yesterday AM but haven't been out since, Not snowing this morning. Saw a town plow Tuesday Am and a high lift about 7 PM. Not a car otherwise.
My brother works for the county and was called in to start plowing at 9PM Monday. Hasn'k been home. we think he slept at work last night. His plow got stuck in 6 foot drifts Tuesday morning and transferred to a high lift.
5 people dead. One crushed between cars, Two heart attacks shoveling snow. A man found dead in his car in Alden in a 15 foot snow drift. A man had a heart attack in his car on French Road in South Cheektowaga in front of my friend;s house. My friend said that they couldn't get to the car with snowmobiles and had to use a high lift to reach the car.I don;t think he made it.
