The snow plowed street created cliffs forty feet high.
Add the economic results of tax crazy democrats and it's no surprise the entire Western New York State is dying.
More young people leave the State to the point that population is decreasing at a startling rate...which leaves a heavier burden on those unwilling or unable to do so.
Good story. I have to say however that by next year, you'll be able to see some damage and the year after that you'll be hard pressed to tell. We had something like that when a hurricane blew through here in NJ in 96...took down every 20th tree. You can't tell now. Time heals all wounds.
Excellent post. Thanks!

Good read. We had a similar weather incident in central Texas 10 or 15 years ago. We had a massive ice storm come through, in January if I remember correctly. Our oak trees here loose their leaves in the spring rather than the fall. The ice coated the leaves and branches with a thick coat of ice, and for several days we listened anxiously to the gunshot sounds of limbs breaking. Since it's so hot here in the summer (and fall and spring), we tend to be very attached to our trees. I had an ancient oak tree that shaded the whole of my back yard and it suffered some severe damage that winter. It did recover nicely, though.
Thanks for posting this.
I just moved back to SC after living in the Northtowns of Buffalo for about five years. My ex emailed me some pics of the trees down in my old neighborhood and I can't believe the devastation. After reading your post I was particularly saddened to hear about Delaware Park. This Olmstead designed park is the most beautiful park I've ever seen and is surrounded by equally beautiful homes with beautiful, mature trees. Such a shame.
Had I had family there I would have stayed. Even with the horrible weather there I am still missing WNY. The people of Buffalo are wonderful (well, outside the political circles, anyway) and they will weather this storm too. At least their hockey team is setting records as the Sabres are still undefeated!!!
