Many areas were severely hit by what is being coined the Knife Storm. “Although Clarence didn’t get hit during this storm, both the highway department and several local fire companies were by helping those town that were stricken by the storm,” said Superivosr David Hartzell.

Although, winter officially begins Dec. 21, Lancaster and Depew residents got more than a taste of the wintery season this week. The first major snowfall of the season resulted in some areas of Lancaster accumulating 60 inches of snow and parts of Depew got hit with 42 inches. With travel bans in effect and a state of emergency declared throughout Erie County, Lancaster and Depew were pummeled with snow in a short amount of time. This caused impassable roads, schools and businesses to close, and
left some people stranded in the blistering cold. Through the use of Facebook, the Lancaster Police Department urged residents, on Wednesday, to stay off the roads and be patient. The significant amount of snow that had fallen made the removal process difficult and keeping motorists off the roadways was crucial. From Nov. 17 to Nov. 19, police assisted 36 motorists who had disabled/ stuck vehicles, which included responding to a report of two males fighting outside a vehicle that veered off the roadway on Genesee Street. Patrols transported or otherwise assisted 11 persons who were stranded. Lancaster dispatchers handled more
than 100 calls involving blocked furnace vents, carbon monoxide detector activations, odors of natural gas inside residences, fire alarms and other fire department related calls. Police also responded to three complaints on Broadway that involved windows shattering in homes as a result of snow that was thrown by a passing state plow truck. “A couple of minutes before 7 a.m. today [Wednesday] we heard a crash and tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,” explained Betsy Moll, a Broadway resident. “We finally realized that it was a broken window in our dining room - storm window and interior window. There was a chunk of ice on the floor
beginning to melt.” Moll continued to say she then got a phone call from the second floor tenant in their four family apartment building next door. “He was sitting in the living room watching TV and was soon surrounded by broken glass,” she said. After calling the police and later the Department of Transportation (DOT), it was discovered it was a state plow heading east, taking out windows throughout the Village of Lancaster on the South side of Broadway.
