Seriously, just sell your car and buy a bus pass. then you explain to me why the front of my car lifted and my rpms climbed like there was less load when a strong gust hit it. most school districts and buisnesses are closed…sounds like a “state of emergency” to me. ---

My commute to work was fine City of Tonawanda to West Seneca. Only issue I had was my damn driver side wiper fluid line must have been frozen so caked on salt and road water makes visibility suck and I am OCD about my windshield being clear, it started working when was at corner of Mineral Springs and Harlem of course. Only noticeable things was wind coming down 190 around downtown was rocking me a bit but other than that was easy drive. It is white out here in West Seneca though and we lost our phone system. Weee! ---
