Lakeview and Old Lakeshore Roads and the immediate neighborhoods in Hamburg are open now. Mt. Vernon and Locksley Park neighborhoods need work. Working with Hamburg, @ed_hamburg, @ErieCountyDPW and our contracting teams to get high lifts there.

Latest totals, which are mind boggling, and the snowfall intensity just ramped up big time. Latest report from the homefront in Hamburg is that the snow just picked up and is falling harder than it has all day. @wgrz #stormteam2

@ElyseSmithWX @WGRZ @pathammer You too!

There was about 2" of snow last night at 10pm.
And now...the yard stick nearly disappears.
