As of 2:03 PM 3/13/17 the latest NOAA Winter Storm Warning says 8-15 of snow for Northern Erie between 8pm tonight and 8pm Wednesday. Pretty much all of NY is under a snow warning with the eastern most bit under a more serious blizzard warning. A couple of our NE credit unions have already called to have us put a message up on their site saying they’ll be closed, and several more have asked for messages saying they might be closed. Personally I don’t think it will be that bad here just because the snow is spread out over a long period of time. The road will get snowy but getting 8-15" over 48 hours is nothing like getting 8-15" over 3 hours with a lake effect band. ![http://s3.amazonaws.com/bncore/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/STF031317.png](http://s3.amazonaws.com/bncore/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/STF031317.png) ![https://dsx.weather.com/util/image/map/DCT_SPECIAL20_1280x720.jpg?v=ap&w=1280&h=720&api=7db9fe61-7414-47b5-9871-e17d87b8b6a0](https://dsx.weather.com/util/image/map/DCT_SPECIAL20_1280x720.jpg?v=ap&w=1280&h=720&api=7db9fe61-7414-47b5-9871-e17d87b8b6a0) ![https://imghost.io/images/2017/03/13/snow.png](https://imghost.io/images/2017/03/13/snow.png) ---

I guess I’ll move my snowblower closer to the door in the garage just in case I actually snowblow this year. ---

Go figure, right after a huge wind storm damages a bunch of roofs… we get a TON of cold weather and massive snow, to make it worse. ---

Just had my roof fixed today, literally the guy finished before the snow just started to fall. I would have gladly taken this snow last month but now, not so much. The winds are what are going to make or break the severity of this storm I think. ---

Yeah, temps in the teens/low 20’s means light fluffy snow that will get blown around into bigly drifts if we actually get a foot. ---

Well the weather channel app just updated the warning with total snowfall amounts now calling for 10-20" as opposed to 8"-15" they were calling for earlier. ---

Can’t wait. Bald rear tires on the truck. Not throwing the stock wheels back on. I did take advantage of that great tire deal today. Just not soon enough I guess. ---

So it’s 9pm and we have MAYBE an inch of snow on the ground. 41 closings on WGRZ, including UB, Buffalo State and several schools. When did we become North Carolina? ---

If people start hitting poles again I might be working for the next millennium. The wind kept me busy around the clock for weeks this month alone. ---
