There is a Travel Ban in all of Erie County NY now....It is 11degrees here right now so shoveling is very difficult. There are many stranded in their homes the snow is so high but they are going to be going around shoveling out doors etc, many people are already out helping neighbors, but its coming down just as fast as they clear it. |
I have lived in WNY my entire life and consider us a hearty group of people with regards to winters. Last winter was rough but primarily because it was long and we had the coldest temperatures recorded in decades. But this is state of emergency winter weather. It is awful, just awful.
I saw on the news this morning the 5th victim to die in this storm was the 46 year old spoken about...his car was buried under a 15 FOOT SNOW DRIFT!
Sad. All of the people stranded on the thruway must be running out of gas if aren't already after 28+ hours with single digit temperatures it is BAD.
Lynzy420: Typically we see the worst of the weather but this time we are not seeing what you are...and we are about 30 minutes away. It's so strange. I really hope you are safe and get relief soon. Prayers are definitely needed! With the shift in weather this weekend it could get even worse...
