In the aftermath of one of western New York’s most extreme snowfalls on record, a monumental effort to clear up to six-and-a-half feet of snow is nearly complete.
While some neighborhood roads are still buried in snow, Mark Poloncarz, Erie County’s executive, reports that all major highways, arterial roads and secondary routes are now open.
Around Hamburg and Orchard Park, 60 inches fell between Thursday night and Friday night alone, probably setting a new 24-hour state record. Teams from the New York Thruway Authority in Buffalo and the New York State Department of Transportation worked around-the-clock pushing snow from the roads to snow storage areas on road shoulders during whiteout conditions. There were large chunks of time where workers couldn’t see past the hood of their cars, Latko said.
