That will never happen in any American city, because we refuse to raise taxes.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Buffalo is an old steel town that has had it's best days behind it.

4 ft is a LOT of snow.

I lived in Buffalo. It was 20+ years ago, but I don't think there have been big improvements in snow removal. Snow falls of 1 foot of snow or more slowed the city down. If it happened slow enough most things wouldn't close or the they would close early and/or open late, but not for the a whole day. Schools were the exception and they would close for a day or two.

I lived there for 2 snowfalls of about 3 ft. Schools closed for a week, the University closed for a couple of days. Everything closed for a day. Specific supermarkets and other essential places were the only things open on day 2.

Now you are thinking 4ft is not that much more than 3, but it is. You start running out of places to put the snow. You have issues where you have to plow to the essential workers homes to get people to do the rest.

Other confounding factors can be:

• How much snow did they have before? This can effect what they can do with the snow, how much deicing is available?

• It's the holidays. Who is out of town and can't get back to help? Who can they not even get a hold of and so can't plan. How many non locals are around using resources and doing stupid things like driving in a blizzard (yeah local do that too).

• Lake effect snow is very wet and heavy. It's harder to get move/carry than the powdery stuff. It also becomes ice very easily making it even harder to deal with and roads even worse.

• Continued bad weather (i don't know if this is the case). Everything is harder and more dangerous in cold weather. Ditto for wind.

There could be other problems like Buffalo's budget didn't put enough in maintenance and essential equipment broke. We'll probably find out more in a few weeks or months.

Seriously though, 4 ft is an insane amount of snow.

We used their kid carrier backpack at least weekly for years. Then some friends did the same with their kid. I think it's on its third owner now.

The ones from the Christian bible that bring Jesus gifts.

In PR it's usually conspiring with the government against the citizens.

This was my thought. I don't keep valuables in my car. I'm the valuable thing I'm trying to protect by parking in a well lit area.
