ExiledInIllinois Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Can we get aid like they do down South with hurricanes... We still have Fed aid being sent down there. Or... Do we have to dig ourselves out and collect income tax from our citizens?

The north towns got hit overnight. then it shifted south. It was sunny in the afternoon in NF and at the north GI bridges. Been snowing all day. City and county offices all closed today and tomorrow. Snow is supposed to hit southern Erie County overnight and move back into the city tomorrow. Airport got 17 inches by 6 PM and they expect about 8-9 more inches by Friday. Temp is about 0 with the wind chill about -20 with maybe -30 to-25 overnight. Supposed to be in the 40s to near 50 Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. My brother is a county plow driver and is racking up the OT this week.
Big Turk Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) It's really bad in Lancaster...the lake band that was supposed to drift south around 3 or 4pm today is still over us and actually has drifted northward again slightly putting the heavy snow directly over us again...gotta have 2 feet already. Have a better than 50/50 shot fro breaking the all-time January snowfall record set in the Blizzard of '77 year as well...within 6 inches or so of it. Now they are saying the band is supposed to pretty much stay in place overnight slightly south of Buffalo and Batavia, which likely puts it directly over us... This is turning a little crazy even for Buffalo Edited January 31, 2019 by matter2003

It may not be quite the same, but I know some places do pretty darn good. Casa di Pizza in the Sarasota, FL area has very good pizza and wings. There were some others, but they were the best, IMO. Taco Mac is a pretty big franchise out of Atlanta which sells more wings than tacos (long story) and we have a Duffs not too far away. The Buffalo pizza joints I’ve found here try....but are certainly disappointing. Mmmmm, and tonight......BRRRR! my mom's cousin started and owned Wings and Things in Florida. Never met him but he offered me a job managing one many years ago. I declined and stayed out west. No idea if they made good pizza.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Check out the train track catching fire in Chicago. Must be electric?
Buffalo716 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I will give anybody 100 dollars if they go outside and lick a lamppost video evidence ?
Ice bowl 67 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 We don't have much snow at all maybe 5 inches on the ground but across Lake Michigan they get demolished with snow. Traverse City Michigan could get 120-140 inches for the season. I think they've gotten 200 or more. Green Bays all time record is like 90 inches. I don't even think GB has 30 inches for the season this year, average I think is 53 inches for the season.

According to a story I saw on the Today show, those fires were deliberately started in order to thaw the tracks and keep the trains running. (Of course, the Today show could be full of sh*t, especially if those tracks are for the ‘EL’ and have a 3rd rail - then I’d say definitely electrical. I was under the impression the tracks were for AMTRAK or commuter trains.) Back here in Buffalo, it’s 4 AM and the wind is still howling, but the snow seems to have tapered off. .

I was wondering how they caught on fire! I thought something was short-circuiting... Yeah... I didn't look close enough, it was fast video, to see if there was a third rail. I wonder how that works with snow and ice... If it arcs or flashes, debris catches fire? Thanks!!!

It is rope soaked in kerosene, lit on fire to keep the tracks from contracting too much; which can pull out spikes or break the rails. 1

Im not falling for that one again. The tip of my tongue was on my neighbors porch light for years. First time it didnt stick. Second time it did and the school bus pulled up. Nothing like a mouth full of blood on your way to school ? Driving last night was interesting. If you could see more than 5 feet out the windshield, that was pretty good visibility. Had to park at wegmans because a spectrum van decided that the end of my driveway is a good parking space. Going on 12 hours waiting on him, police, or tow truck to move it. 1
