I wonder what his definition of "cleared" is? Some relatives live in North Buffalo, on a side-street near Hertel, and they say they have NEVER seen a snow plow on their street, regardless of snowfall amounts.
After a big storm, its typical that temperature rises (as it is this week), so with that and cars driving over the snow, street eventually clears itself.
Okay you know the area. this one came right off the lake with Buffalo in the direct line - which means Cheektowaga, Lancaster and Depew should be (and was) in the direct line of fire.
They are open. The city is not, I know its harder to get the snow off the smaller streets, but here’s my point: You have a travel ban - while most of the help the city needs are coming from outside of the city.
Fortunately, it’s warming up. It’ll be more manageable soon.
But there are a LOT of lessons from this storm - for everyone.
