Its Dumping in Buffalo?
IM THERE! Got my gear ready and I was out the door, headed to an area that was pronounced in a state of Emergency. I thought. SNOW= EMERGENCY= MY PLAYGROUND! That was in my head during the entire drive to my northern neighbor who just recieved the FIRST SNOW STORM of the EAST COAST. I was stoked to be a part of it. On my way.
I got closer and closer and realized that the snow was beggining to accumulate. I was stoked. I hadn’t realized yet why they were in a state of Emergency, or why their was a BAN on driving. I just kept charging along, looking for rails, drops, whatever I could find to snowboard on.
I got closer into Buffalo and realized, they are in trouble! It wasn’t the amount of snow it was The LEAVES. It snowed so early that the leaves were still on the trees and it got so heavy that it began ripping the trees down. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Trees destroyed, 300,000 people with no power, my sister stuck in her driveway with a tree fallen over it. Her entire yard filled with huge tree branches. I had to pick her up. She had NO POWER! This was an emergency. She hopped in the car with me and we drove around to all of her friends houses to make sure they were OK. During this venture through the destroyed city of Buffalo we saw true devistation. Trees, power lines, people stranded. The beautiful snow that I love so much did so much damage to people. I felt so bad. Hope for a quick recovery Buffalo.

I was trying to get my wife to pull me down the street with her truck but she wasn’t going for it. Then I tried to get my brother but there was a driving ban on so that was out too.
