A new use for drones!!!!
I used to live on the highest hill right off the lake. South East of Buffalo. We would get about double what fell in Buffalo.
You knew it was really winter when the snow plows would stop running and only snow blowers would cut a single traffic lane.
Back in the Blizzard of ‘77, my dad was the President of the Erie County snowmobile association and he ran an enormous rescue operation during the blizzard. He organized food and medicine deliveries and even took a lady in labor to the hospital on his snowmobile. Often they would only see the antenna on a car and dig down to find people trapped in the car.
I remember watching out the front window after the storm - a pay-loader was clearing the road in front of our house. The rear end of a car came up from the snow with one of the scoops. I remember my mom crying. She thought people were still in it. They made it to the neighbors house and stayed there for a few days.
My older brother climbed out the window to shovel the snow from in front of the door. We Couldn't get the doors open.
That was Orleans County.
