Reply to comment by TechyDad in Western NY death toll rises to 28 from cold, storm chaos by novotlr

You’ve posted this a couple of times now and I’m curious where you heard it. I’m a life-long Buffalonian and it’s never THAT bad. For sure, the poor visibility can make driving treacherous but no one gets hopelessly lost in their own driveway.

My wife told me that she heard this on the local news. It's possible that she misheard it or that our local (NY but not Buffalo area) news misreported something. I tried doing some searches and couldn't find any corroboration. There are SO many news articles that it could have been flooded out by the hundreds of other stories about this storm. Still, I think I'm going to stop repeating this until I can find a better source corroborating this account.

It’s understandable that things could get blown out of proportion, especially if you haven’t experienced our weather yourself. Good on ya for at least attempting to verify it though!
