Do they cancel the Sabres/Sharks tomorrow? Nope.

[Weave]

I could probably do that. But what a pain in the ass. It's not worth the gas to go that far out of the way today. I'm waiting till tomorrow morning. Hopefully things will be under control by then.

 

You must be in Henrietta then? Near an I-90 entrance?

 

I normally take the Thruway to and from work. It's still closed from Henrietta to the state line. I need to use an alt route tonight. Probably add at least 20 minutes to my commute.

Here's the interactive map:

You can zoom in and see where the blizzard line is located (6 miles from the arena).

Yeah I'm in Henrietta. I usually go back roads through to Rt 19 in LeRoy up to the thruway.

my sister is in Cheektowaga sent me a photo of her and her car supposedly...I couldnt see the car...or 2/3 of her. She confirms its well over 4ft as of an hour ago.

 

She was supposed to have classes today at Daemen. Her professor was telling her to just try to get there. She called me to ask what she should do. I told her she lives right off the thruway, it's closed, there's a driving ban elsewhere, and send a picture or two of your car and front porch, then maybe the asshats just a tad north of the band will understand :doh:

They're predicting 6 feet of snow by tomorrow afternoon for Lancaster/West Seneca. My brother is going to be getting a workout until I get home tomorrow. I couldn't get to Lancaster if I tried today.

I see no reason why the Thruway should be closed from Henrietta to the state line.

My god. Looking at that and a radar map gave me a meteorology ######. Just amazing. I've never seen a storm just sit and dump like that. We'd get lake effect heavy snows where I lived in Ohio, but nothing like that.

I hope this is sarcasm.

[SwampD]

I'm getting a real kick out of graphics that NBC is putting up with the road closings. They actually write "THE 90" and "THE 190" on them.

The descriptions make me think of the Christmas Eve/Christmas storm from the early 2000s. I forget the exact year, but the snowfall was ridiculous. Lots of people got an extended Christmas holiday that year.

It isn't. Is there any snow between Henrietta and Exit 50?

Have you LOOKED at a map?

 

Any truck or car that gets on the thruway and then tries to get off at exit 49 or 48/48A can't go anywhere! You just cannot let people get on the thruway in Rochester or you'll just make a bigger mess and put already stressed out emergency and highway services under unnecessary pressure.

Totally in agreement with The Guide to Buffalo English

Yes but that one was at least spread out over seven days and you had a chance to keep up with the driveway. No chance this time. I've never seen so much snow so fat in my lifetime. It was 2001 that you're referring to.

That one all hit over a 48 hour period, at least in certain places.

Do you mean a weather map? I now have, but it's not telling me anything. If there's snow around 49, 48A, 48, well, that certainly would change my mind. I thought it was clear from here to Roch.

Travel bans are in effect for pretty much all of Gensee county as well as Lancaster/Depew. So you can't get off the thruway if you get on because most of the major routes that you'd take once you leave the thruway are under travel bans unless you're going north. Everything from Batavia to the south and west is a mess.

[Derrico]

It's pretty crazy how I'm on the other side of the Lake in Ontario and it's sunny now we're not suppose to get anything Buffalo is. Stay safe SS.

I had no idea! Wow. I really must be in the eye of the storm.

Nah, you're just nowhere near it haha Like I said, my parents in Lancaster are looking at six feet by tomorrow afternoon. That just not snow you can plow. You can't do anything with that.

The view north from my office is nothing but clear blue sky. If I go to the other side of the building and look south, it looks like Armageddon on the Lake.
