I was 19 and working at the old Charter House hotel on Transit when the storm hit. I got stuck there overnight, wich sucked because I was at work and the place was full of stranded guests....I only slept for about an hour & a half. one couple had decided to brave the storm on the 2nd day, and they actually offered me a ride home (Getzville - Hopkins rd between Dodge & French), which was quite a way out of the way for them. if I remember it correctly, the storm blew in off Lake Erie, swept across WNY, moved out over Lake Ontario (picking up more moisture), and then swept back in the other direction across WNY again.
