Tracking the plows in Buffalo

Like most city residents, I’m wondering when my street is going to see a plow. Or any street close to me.

Thankfully, there’s a website that tracks where city plows have been, and how recently, using GPS technology. Here’s the link. You need to zoom in to get the particulars.

As of 9 a.m. today, the map shows that most main thoroughfares have seen a plow in the past 12 hours. However, nary a side street has been touched. It appears the map is being updated regularly – the 9 a.m. post was updated at 10 and again at 10:15 a.m.

For the latest weather reports, I advise visiting our partners at WGRZ’s Storm Team 2.

A map showing, among other things, warming shelters and people in need.

‘Chilling’: Internet erupts over Border Patrol comments on detaining a 5-year-old boy



The internet had scathing reactions Friday to Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino's comments about a 5-year-old in Minnesota who was taken into ICE custody after agents targeted his father.

Bovino was speaking at a press conference in Minneapolis and confirmed that Liam Conejo Ramos was in his family's driveway when he returned home from school with his father and that both of them were taken away in a vehicle and sent to an ICE facility in Texas. Bovino attempted to argue that ICE has treated children well following public scrutiny over the agency's actions.

"The child is in the least restrictive setting with a family member. I don't think it gets any better than that," Bovino said.

Social media users had sharp responses to Bovino's comments:

"Does he think that being the size of a child makes him an expert on children?" Navy veteran Molly Rogers wrote on Bluesky.

"They are experts at dealing with the unarmed, that's true enough," Joan, an ADHD coach and Canadian, wrote on Bluesky.

"Dealing with children…is a chilling statement," writer and filmmaker Nicole Quinn wrote on Bluesky.

"All I can see is his soulless, dead eyes. The child should be at home with his mother and not in a restrictive setting, for Christ's sake," user Chidi wrote on X.

"If that's the situation, Commander Bovino, please allow the press and congressional members to visit and inspect this Texas camp along with other ICE facilities run by the Trump administration..." user DeSota Wilson wrote on X.
