Yes, Niagara Falls got very little snow.  Once he was able to drive 
(with difficulty) on the local streets, my son (who lives in East 
Amherst near Ali) ended up driving to Niagara Falls to get gas for his 
generator.  He thought he was smart buying a generator for the new house 
after suffering through a long power outage on the previous house some 
years ago.  Unfortunately, he hadn't filled his three 5 gallon gas tanks 
yet and the brand new water powered backup sump pump proved to have 
insufficient capacity to keep the sump level from very slowly rising 
until it got above the floor level and soaked part of the carpet.
