[contremineur]

It rains, il pleut, all over my grounds. It blows, le vent, the treetops around. I love mon papillon as she’s waking up among twisted sheets; I love ma belle as she grinds beans for our morning cup. Cher vent, come sow your thoughts in the ground. Bring us de l’eau, coarse trees, fresh streets, white lies—old hat under these new skies.

Drivers in western New York’s Erie County still advised to stay off the roads after deadly storm dumps almost 6 feet of snow in some areas

Even by western New York standards, Friday’s snowstorm was colossal, bringing eye-level accumulation totals to some areas and prompting officials to tell many people who are used to driving in bad weather to stay off the roads.

“I can say that our deputies have been just absolutely inundated with calls for service as it pertains to disabled motor vehicles and stranded motorists,” Erie County Undersheriff William J. Cooley said at a news conference Friday night as heavy, wet snow continued to fall. “We implore the residents to just, please, obey the travel ban, you become part of the problem very quickly when you’re out there on the streets.”

Snowfall totals reached 5 feet in at least two locations. Orchard Park, where the Buffalo Bills had been scheduled to play their now-relocated NFL game Sunday, had snowfall totals of up to 66 inches by Friday evening. Blasdell, about eight miles from Buffalo, recorded 65 inches as of 8:30 p.m.

Hear how citizens in Buffalo are reacting to the snowstorm

The storm had contributred to two deaths. Two Erie County residents died after suffering cardiac events related to shoveling or blowing snow, County Executive Mark Poloncarz said earlier.

“We send our deepest sympathies and remind all that this snow is very heavy and dangerous,” Poloncarz tweeted. At the news conference he advised residents to wait another day before trying to clear out the snow.

Buffalo’s highest three-day snowfall is 56.1 inches, which occurred in December 2001, CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said. One area of the city reported almost 20 inches as of Friday morning.

Poloncarz said the lake-effect snow event had hit the south towns of Buffalo “with a vengeance, very hard and all these communities are in a state of emergency at this point.”

As the region waited out the storm:

• As of Friday night, it was snowing 1-3 inches in the area, according to theNational Weather Service in Buffalo.

• Buffalo has a ban on vehicle travel in the southern part of the city and advisories elsewhere.

• According toFlightAware.com, about 70% of outgoing flights were canceled at the Buffalo airport, which has almost 13 inches of snow.

• The NFL earlier this week moved the Bills’ game against the Cleveland Browns to Detroit. Theteam hopes to travel from Buffaloon Saturday.

• Hamburg, around 15 miles south of Buffalo, had almost 34 inches of snow by 8 a.m.

• Buffalo public schools were closed Friday. So are Erie County services.

What to pack in your car to stay safe during severe winter weather

Earlier, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Implored residents to take caution this weekend and described the storm as a “major, major” snowfall event that could be as life-threatening as the November 2014 snowstormthat claimed the lives of 20 people in the Buffalo region.

Hochul declared a state of emergency for 11 counties.

Nicole Erb told CNN early Friday afternoon: “It’s a mess out here,” in the backyard of her Orchard Park home.

She estimated she has about 4 feet of snow around her house.

But even some of the people clearing roads were getting stuck, Poloncarz, the Erie County executive, said.

Commercial traffic was banned on the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) between exits 53 and 59,according to the agencythat operates the highway. Other parts of major interstates – including 290 and 990 – werealso shut down.

Officials in Erie County – which includes Buffalo – also declared a state of emergency and banned driving beginning Thursday night. Prohibitions on driving in the northern and southern part of the county were lifted Friday afternoon.

“The lake effect snow from (the storm) is very heavy and may cause tree branches to fall and damage vehicles, property or powerlines. Watch where you park, and be aware of your surroundings if going outside,” Erie Countyofficials wrote online.

What to expect this weekend

The heaviest snow has shifted just a few miles south of the hardest hit region early Friday evening, according to CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward. But the snow band is expected to return back to the north later in the evening and even shift far enough north that downtown Buffalo gets into the heavy snow again overnight and early Saturday.

Much of the area gets a break by Saturday afternoon as the snow shifts even farther north. A final band comes through Saturday evening and into the overnight hours before snow tapers off early Sunday.

What causes lake-effect snow?

“Colder air will continue to pour across the region, resulting in a prolonged lake effect snow event, which will last through this weekend.”National Weather Service forecasters in Buffalo said Friday morning. “Two intense plumes of lake effect snow with snowfall rates of at least 3 inches per hour will continue northeast of the lakes through tonight.”

Other areas affected by the storm include parts of the Upper Peninsula and the western Lower Peninsula of Michigan, where gusty winds and heavy snow will also cause near zero visibility and unsafe travel conditions.

I want friends to talk about poetry and literature with (also art history, cinema, and music if shared interests). I love contemporary poetry and modern literary literature, but I'm not a fan of genre literature or classical poetry, so capital-R Romantics, Medievalists, and people who only read fantasy/sci-fi, romance, or mysteries aren't really what I gel with, no offense.

My favorite poet is Ruth Stone, and other favorites include Natalie Diaz, Sherman Alexie, Stephen Dunn, Wanda Coleman, Nicole Cooley, Lucille Clifton, Ellen Bryant Voigt, Jack Gilbert, Martin Espada, and more. I'm not big on Mary Oliver, and I hate Rimbaud and Neruda.

My favorite prose books are "Inland" (Tea Obreht), "Temporary People" (Deepak Unnikrishnan), "Insurrecto" (Gina Apostol), "A Constellation of Vital Phenomena" (Anthony Marra), and "The Collected Short Stories of Wallace Stegner".

My favorite movies include "Brief Encounter" (1945, David Lean), "Days of Heaven" (1978, Terrence Malick), "Mirror" (1975, Andrei Tarkovksy), "An Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano" (1977, Nikita Mikhalkov), "The Lion in Winter" (1968, Anthony Harvey), and more.

I run a poetry blog, @abellinthecupboard, where you can see the kind of poetry I read and share.

I also write my own poetry, and I've been professionally published a few times in small-time journals now, so I'm decent at it. I'd love it if I could get someone to give feedback on what I write occasionally.

I'm old so I only want to chat with people who are at least 21, no minors.

If anyone is interested, please like or reblog this post and I'll check out your blog. You can also ping me on Discord @/beltanebugle
