Blizzard warning for Buffalo and Niagara Falls

[bullwinkle428]

7. I grew up in the area. Definitely concerned about the flash freeze

situation leading into the brutal arctic conditions. My mom is 85, and still lives in the area, and I had the opportunity to spend a little over a week with her, between the pre-Thanksgiving storm and this one! She has a dog that needs to go outside a few times a day, so I'm definitely worried about how she'll handle that.

I'm in eastern Iowa, and the temperature here is plummeting as we speak. It was already cold and dry, so no flash freeze issues, but blowing snow and extreme wind chills for the next couple of days will be the primary issue. I feel sorry for anyone that has to be on the road over the next 2-3 days.
