josie Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 d4rk has to go into work, so I made some cookies to take with him so it makes the day at least a LITTLE better :( Ended up using what was lying around, so peanut butter choco chip it is. Seriously though, the courts, schools, malls, and a couple other big companies closed down and his place is still open... Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I bailed out of work at 11 figuring that it was my best chance of getting home in one piece. Snowing pretty good up in Niagara County but where I am at it isn't bad at all. Roads were better plowed in civilization though. <_< So, 1/2 day today that maybe I didn't need to take and i still have to call in tomorrow because I have two interviews scheduled. I doubt it goes over well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Defecting Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well, they're calling it a blizzard, so I'm just going with it. The back end of my car slipped out a couple times, driving at 11. It's getting colder, though, and windier. Might be a blizzard in the next few hours.

zow2 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Buffalo Airport has cancelled all the rest of the flights today... my buddy was on the last flight that got cleared for take off... THANK GOD. Not quite. One more got out. I was listening to Buffalo Airport air traffic control (a bit of a geek i am!)....and the Sabres Delta Airlines charter took off successfully a few mins ago. They had to stop all plow activity for a bit but the boys are on their way to Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 The rain has turned into snow and now the roads are bad. My afternoon lab got cancelled but I'll still have to go to work in the slushy/icy crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 The nice part about this storm is that a lot of people aren't driving. Which makes the roads a lot more passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 pfft. Yeah. it is looking like I could have stayed at work. I was the first to bail. (i) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Dance Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 It looks like the snow is tapering off here in downtown Buffalo. I can't really say how much has fallen, since it has been blowing around so much but it doesn't seem to be more than three-four inches. Most of my colleagues headed for home already, but I'm going to hang in there until 5:00. I don't know what it is like elsewhere in WNY, but if the worst is over (which it looks like it is, except for the wind chill) this blizzard was not what it was advertised as. I hope everyone out there is OK, safe and warm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 My office closed at 11:30 today so I'm sitting here during the "Blizzard" enjoying some Partner's pizza & wings along with the WWE Network, I'm watching a card from the Boston Garden from 1986, I wish the Buffalo Sabres could do something similar. I would pay $9.99 a month to watch the Sabres as well as have access to their video vault. I would love to be watching full game videos from the 70's right now.

I was listening to Buffalo Airport air traffic control (a bit of a geek i am!)....and the Sabres Delta Airlines charter took off successfully a few mins ago. They had to stop all plow activity for a bit but the boys are on their way to Carolina. I wondered about that. I saw Liger's post and then saw Zenon Konopka posting pics of the team plane boarding some time after that. Bumpy flights today, I bet!

josie Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Decided to check the mail/take some trash out. Looks fairly tame out my windows. Put on some snowpants to humor myself. Open door and walk out without really looking... Realize I'm chest deep in a drift at the door, waist deep on the stoop. Ok ok, I'm 5'5", but still. Waded through Operation Trash Dropoff and back, being knocked over by arctic swirly high winds and ice bits in my eyeballs... So yeah, I guess I'm glad they shut down most the city.

LastPommerFan Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 In celebration of the blizzard, I just watched Frozen for the first time. I'm really excited to have that song stuck in my head for the next 6-8 months. Also, Mark's Pizza is closed. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't know what Mark's Pizza is, but the Buffalo places that closed did so out of economic (let's not pay the hourly workers to serve two customers--and that is sensible) or panic reasons. This was a routine snow storm, as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a routine snow storm, as far as I'm concerned. After reading the doughnut thread all week, I was most distressed to stop by Paula's Doughnuts and find it closed at noon because of the weather.

This was a routine snow storm, as far as I'm concerned. You don't know Mark's? I was certain they had a few locations in metro Buffalo. I didn't realize they had them out GCoE ways. I guess they are more regional than I thought. Edited March 13, 2014 by weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are more regional than I thought. They go east all the way to Syracuse. I don't think they go as far west as Buffalo. Those people don't deserve good pizza anyway.
