I'm just a mile outside of Buffalo, staying in a hotel. My parents live one mile inside the border of the city. Buffalo is the only city left in the state of New York that still has a travel ban after this terrible storm. I found out today that we're getting another hundred people from the national guard to help out. I thought how great, they're going to get the streets cleaned up so much faster with all that extra help and equipment. Nope, they're not coming to help with clean up. They're going to be stationed around the city issuing $1,000 tickets to anyone who tries to enter the city or drive within city limits. I'm thinking about risking it anyway. My parents are elderly, and their care aides have not been there in 5 days. My 28 year old niece is doing the job of 2 aides, by herself with really no breaks. I'd like to go help her, and also actually see my parents. It's so irritating that they're wasting that help on tickets instead of clearing snow.
