Both patients have been rescued and are safely on the ground. This is a once in a career call. Huge props to MontgomeryCo(MD)Fire and Pepco for properly strategizing this. #MoCo

No longer any Fire/Rescue needs. Units will start to head back home shortly. This is an amazing training moment for not only the Probies but every firefighter.

In my 32 years as a chief meteorologist in Buffalo television, I’ve stayed away from giving advice on school closings, even when my youngest daughter used to lobby me. This time around, it would be inconceivable to me for schools to be open on Friday. Just too dangerous. Period.

Perspective: A Blizzard Warning is for 35+ mph winds + 1/4 mi visibilities from snow (or blowing snow), for 3+ hrs. At #BUF, we expect blizzard conditions for ~30 hrs, with peak winds ~70 mph. Don't focus on snow totals. Power outages + stranded cold travelers are higher impacts.

.Justice for Migrant Families WNY just received a phone call that a family of three was stranded at the bus station with nowhere to turn. They found them a room at the hostel. This is the story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as well. Help house this fam through the holiday/storm: justiceformigrantfamilies.org.

Based on reports from the field, a Driving Ban will go into effect for all of Erie County as of 9:30 AM. The Thruway is now closed in both directions at milepost 436 due to a camper versus power pole accident leaving power lines across both Thruway directions.

Buffalo has multiple fire trucks out of service. One of the Engines had chains come off and is wrapped up in the axel. Ladder 15 is stuck and has multiple cars blocking the firehouse. Ladder 7 needs to defrost.

In the areas of the City of Buffalo, Cheektowaga Amherst, Lancaster, Williamsville, there are no emergency services available right now. We are continuing to do everything we can.

🚨STAY OFF THE ROADS! Search and rescue is going extremely slow due to the blizzard. Roads were not maintained last night due to zero visibility.

This is down at the waterfront. It’s from YESTERDAY — the flooding and wind is real down here. It’s no joke when you’re so close to the lake. #BuffaloBlizzard

This is what happens when you don't know how to drive in the snow.

"The Downfall of Dawn E. McKenzie: a Tragi-Comedy in Five Parts": 1. Meet gender-critical conservative white woman @DawnEMcKenzie 2. She complained that a receipt she "found" at CostCo spent $600 on luxury food using an EBT card, with $1800, taking advantage of taxpayers.

Rest in power, Tortuguita. ❤️ The fight to #StopCopCity will grow and spread in your honor.

Everyone wish a Happy Find Out Day to the neo-nazi who Fucked Around and sent my family death threats. Today’s the last day of his employment!

Dear UBuffalo, University at Buffalo Alumni and University at Buffalo President Satish K. Tripathi You can save the multiple annual letters sent to the house asking for donations from the two UB grads living here. And we'll work with our trans child to find a new school for them next fall. Supporting hate speech is deplorable.

The rhetoric of Michael Knowles runs counter to the values and beliefs of our university. UB has consistently advocated for building a socially just, anti-racist society that supports the rights of all people -- Black, transgender, gay, lesbian, woman, and people of color alike.

I won't be declaring a state of emergency regarding the possibility that legal asylum seekers may be housed in our county. I will not be issuing an emergency order prohibiting the housing of such persons. Not only is such an order illegal, it is morally repugnant. Full statement:

Uh yeah you better believe Byron voted yesterday. Congratulations to all of the winners yesterday and a huge LOL @ everyone who lost… f’n losers.

On the debt ceiling, it's worth noting that one-quarter of the federal debt, from the founding of the Republic to 2021, was accumulated during the first administration of Donald J. Trump.
