Reply to comment by hymen_destroyer in TIL from 1851 to 1856, Utah's territorial capital was the town of Fillmore in Millard County. The town and county were so named to flatter then-President Millard Fillmore. by Roughneck16
He was one of the founders of the University of Buffalo and still has a house you can visit in East Aurora, NY.
He’s actually currently buried In Buffalo in the same grave yard as Rick James.

Except this is a once in a lifetime storm. You have to look back 50 years for anything even remotely similar.
In most storms if you get stuck you can either dig yourself out or wait for a tow.
The hurricane force winds and frostbite laden temperatures meant people couldn’t dig out and it was too dangerous for rescue teams.
Once you get a car stuck, that road becomes impassable including for plows which are 90% of the tools used to keep roads clear. The city wasn’t prepared for the amount of stuck vehicles that had to be dug out and towed before plows could get down streets.
If you live somewhere warm, maybe all snow storms seem like they’re the same, but that’s not the case.
This was the difference between a bad tropical storm and a category 3 hurricane.

People In Buffalo are pretty arrogant when it comes to this sort of thing. We pride ourselves in our ability to handle snow.
Many stores don’t even shut down during storms (for better or for worse).
A lot of people simply completely underestimated this storm and the type of storm it was. Buffalo normally doesn’t get Blizzards with hurricane force winds.

Sure, and yeah police aren’t going to be busting down the door for growing a few plants when it’s going to be legal in just over a year anyways.

You can also home grow.

Buffalo can handle snow, even 6 feet of it. Hurricane force winds and frigid temperatures made this storm much more deadly. /r/buffalo

They were there for Niagara Falls.
Though Buffalo is pretty nice this time of the year. There’s a massive ice skating rink downtown.

Global Foundries already has a chip plant in Albany and another just opened up outside of Utica.
NY has been slowly building a corridor for these type of companies and amass the workforce they’re looking for.
On top of that got TONs of graduates from schools like SU, Cornell, RIT, Buffalo, UofR and SUNY Polytechnic. All top 100 colleges/universities within 100 miles of Syracuse.
