Bad road conditions near Buffalo today

[goosifer]

This morning I was driving on the 190 towards downtown and lost control of my vehicle. I started fishtailing and ended up doing a 180 on the far left left into the adjacent lane. Fortunately, the road was not crowded and people were going slow. I came to a complete stop without hitting anything, and was able to just turn around and start driving again. I was lucky. Although there was little official accumulation, it was really slippery out there today with poor visibility from the blowing wind.

Now I am reading about the pileup on the 90 East of Transit. Bad news. link

A 20 minute afternoon commute in normal conditions took me an hour tonight from Transit RTd East Amherst to near the blue water tower.......fun/wow.

One death last I heard in the big pile up, 7 injured??

Jeez. Was out and about all day. East Amherst to cheektowoga was bad. Lancaster/ Alden was fine. People drive like dummys....

Glad you guy's are OK. Saw that bad pile up on the Thruway, watching the evening news. Bad stuff.

Though winters anywhere in NY, are no cake walk. The folks from the Buffalo and Tug Hill areas are a hearty bunch indeed, from all the lake effect weather.

Keep safe everyone. Seems like this winter, is going to be a "real" NY winter this year.

Took me 90 min to do a 35 min commute from Williamsville to Alden on the way home. No real weather issue just to many people from the thruway hitting the local roads. I’m just glad I was not apart of any accident. I feel bad for those people on the thruway.

Just drove past the parking lot across from park n ride at Depew exit 49 on Transit road. Tow trucks are dumping smashed cars there left n right. It’s an auto wreck boneyard with dozens of cars accumulated so far.
