I just saw him the other day at Starbucks. I wonder if he just didn’t have any notice that the weather was going to be so bad. I can’t remember if he had a phone or not. ---

Impressive! I thought I had some decent overhang on my garage. Maybe I’ll take a snap of it tomorrow while I’m off again. RIP to the homeless guy, pretty sure I just saw him earlier this month at the walker center. ---

Reading his story and how it ended is sad but at the same time makes you proud of WNY because you see that a lot of people tried to help this guy. I don’t know if any of you followed the link to the 1997 story on him but it’s worth the read: > **[Williamsville takes roving homeless man under its wing](https://buffalonews.com/1997/07/06/williamsville-takes-roving-homeless-man-under-its-wing/)** > > It takes a village to support Larry, the homeless man from Williamsville.

So did the ice boom break or was the water level / wind speed so high ice went over it? ---

Probably a combination of both. It’s designed to sink and let the ice go over the top if the wind pushes the ice too hard. But I did read that some sections had broken free. Honestly, it’s great news for the health of the river. That ice flow will dredge a lot of the muck out of the shallows, something that we prevented nature from doing with the boom. Bad news for GI and Tonawanda dock owners though. ---
