The flooding is the lead but the roof collapses are going to sky rocket today and through the next three days as rain hits.

Deep snow on roofs that are not cleared is like a sponge. All the rain and melt water will be held and overnight re-freeze will make ice damns in gutters and at drip edges, holding the water and slush on the roofs. Each 1/2 of rain is equal in weight to another five inches of snow. Each inch of slush as the snow melts is still as heavy as the snow was.

Watch out western New York for some terrible building disasters.

Has 0bama declared a disaster area yet? Has he even noticed?

but the warming trend also raised the threat of flooding.

GLOBAL WARMING?? Maybe the President can issue an Executive Action to fix the problems.

South Buffalo resident Christopher Orazio, 22, said he and his girlfriend have been cooped up in their home, blanketed by massive piles of snow, for several days.

"We are just watching TV and watching the news, we are both hungry and fighting with each other," said Orazio, adding that the couple has been eating small cans of soup and noodles.

Wow, quite ambitious aren't you Mr. Orazio.

I wish Algore would send a little of his “global warming” down to Arizona. We need the precipitation.

Everybody needs to prepare for a couple of weeks. I realize not everybody believes in the SHTF scenario but natural events do happen.

I am here, at ground zero if you will. I have been shoveling the roof and the driveway for four days now. I think I got it, but if starts raining, I am going to go up and make sure that there is no buildup. Been shoveling all day today, so I am going to take a HOT bath. If you want to look up exactly where I am, I am in Cheektowaga, off Como Park (across from the Reinstein Woods).

If I lived in Buffalo I would like to be the only guy in the neighborhood with a hydronically heated roof and sidewalks.

“Despite the conditions, Heidinger said a regular sight has been people pulling beer in their sleds and carrying pizza boxes from a local pizzeria that had just reopened its doors in downtown Buffalo.”

God bless all of them!
