The National Guard will assist Buffalo with snow jammed roadways which stranded hundreds of vehicles.
150 soldiers manning seven Bobcats, 10 dump trucks and five humvees, will clear road and free vehicles.
The soldiers will come from the 152nd Engineer company in Buffalo and the 827th Engineer Company in Horseheads. Airmen from the 107th Airlift Wing at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station will also respond. Poloncarz was looking for plows, pay-loaders, high-lifts, tow-trucks and drivers to aid in the removal of several feet of snow which has halted all traffic in southern Buffalo. The national guard will be working with Buffalo City and Erie County Departments of Public Works to fulfill the needs of the area best. h/t wivb
