Reply to comment by Lazy-Lawfulness-6466 in Officials in Buffalo, New York, face questions about storm planning and response as harrowing accounts emerge of death and survival by Lazy-Lawfulness-6466

I checked my text messages from last week after reading your second point. These were the warnings I received about the storm (summarized):
Thurs 12/22 9:38am - Garbage pickup canceled on Fri 12/26
Fri 12/23 8:42am - Garbage pickup canceled on Fri 12/26
8:52am - Blizzard warning now in effect, no garbage/recycling pickup today
9:40am - [text clarifying date is actually Fri 12/23]
10:03am - first travel ban

Then there’s one or two messages every day after that for the driving ban until it was lifted. A front loader made one pass down our street before dawn on Monday. Then nothing until yesterday. This is on the east side of buffalo.

Exactly. It’s worth noting garbage pickup is delayed all of the time so this isn’t exactly a dire warning.
