andyhb Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Scanner traffic around Buffalo has not been good, cars getting trapped in massive drifts and people potentially succumbing inside, particularly to carbon monoxide from blocked tailpipes. It literally does sound like a repeat of 1977. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel ban at 9:30 am was a little too late. Should have been called earlier. People had to go to work and got stuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen how many cars were out yesterday during the day in complete whiteout conditions. We're more prepared than the city of Buffalo is for this. When the storm hits the city its far more impactful than the southtowns. If you call 911 right now, no one is coming out they shut it all down until the conditions improve.

Jebman Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Buffalo is in BAD, BAD shape. Winds are piling up ridiculous drifts and people are stranded and have been stranded all day. Even MORE lake effect snow is on the way. Merry Christmas to everyone tonight and everyone stay nice and safe. I am very glad I am in south central TX with highs in the low 50s for Christmas. Reed Timmer is an outright hero, helping people out like he is doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People had to go to work and got stuck. That is why they have to put the bans out way in advance -- certainly the night before. Today's employers have lost their minds with demanding impossible things. What was the use of requiring people to come in when it was clear (1) that they were probably weren't going to make it and (2) everybody else was going to stay home -- so no customers? Government has to show sense when employers don't and close down roads. In this case, holiday travelers have to either leave early or stay home. This enormous storm has been talked about for over a week. If the local politicians don't want to be the bad guys, the governor should step in. When I try to imagine being stuck in a car at night up there, no visibility as snow just keeps coming down, freezing cold and alone for hours, I would do anything to avoid a possibility of that ever happening to me. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all from me here in Williamsport, PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
