Slim to none most likely. Looks like Springville was getting hammered last night with the storm

Made it from Little Valley to Elma to West Seneca to Orchard Park and back home without issue. Cleaned out six driveways of snowed in elderlies -- one in hospice.

It was a good day!

Trains are still delayed through Frontier Yard/Buffalo. My train is expected about 3 hours late as of now.

Where I am the snow was coming down hard and made things impossible because of the wind giving a lot of drifting snow. Last night the weather changed to just the opposite we got rain and wind and all but the drifts are gone at my house and they will be gone by tomorrow because it's supposed to hit 60. Hope you guy's in the Buffalo area have cleaned the roof off of your homes. Be safe ,

No your not correct on "great lakes aren't freezing like they use to"

FACT; last year the great lakes, all FIVE, froze completely over. That includes the deepest lakes, which almost never freeze 100%. Thats COLD! That my friend hadn't happened in recorded records on the lakes. So, please know the facts before general statements are passed along.

This year in November, all FIFTY states had recorded snow on the ground at the same time. That includes Florida. So, global warming changes to climate change and so on.

Facts are facts. But if the populous thinks one way, then the facts don't matter. Interesting observation, wouldn't you agree!

Sorry, Still Kickin. Your facts are not quite accurate. The Great Lakes did not completely freeze over last winter, but it was definitely a lot more ice than normal because the jet stream dipped so far south for so long. I think the point is we are experiencing more unusual weather than we used to and a warming trend overall.

Let's not hijack this thread debating global weather trends.

There is no warming trend and I agree its off topic, so if you want more facts pm me and We can continue the discussion, just don't make assumptions based on what you hear or read in some non science publication, is all my point was. PM me you would be surprised what The science is on the topic.

How are you folks in the Buffalo and Lancaster areas doing? Is there any flooding where you are?
