We are hoping she gets out of dodge before the flights start to cancel.
Weather got pretty darn cold and wet here as well, lower 40's right now. Had to run the gas furnace this morning.
It's not hitting Buffalo for the most part. Just colder than average here...
They are calling for 12-18 inches of snow across the Buffalo area. Not a big deal for Buffalo snow removal teams, but southwest may see something that I have not.
Yeah, closer to the 12" mark and that's spread out over 2-3 days, and probably less by the airport. But yeah, I'd get out just because of the other airports all over the Northeast having cancellations and grief...
The Buffalo-Niagara Int'l Airport set a record for snowfall at 7.2". Not shocking but respectable, but pales in comparison to the St. Paddy's Day storm of 1936 that dumped 20" of heavy, wet snow here:

Most schools here closed for the day and there was a lot of chagrin as it seemed to be a massive overreaction for an area used to snow and getting it out of the way...
