“I haven’t ate since Monday,” a woman tweeted this morning on highway I-90 near Blasdell, N.Y., just south of Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and Lake Ontario. “Still stuck … 30 hours later. I’m hungry. I wish a magic carpet would appear now.”

The Buffalo area, along with the rest of western New York, is immobilized in a snowstorm that has killed at least six people and buried streets and homes under nearly six feet of white. It’s a state of emergency: More than 50 flights have been canceled at Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The city’s schools are closed.

The Instagrams are crazy too.
Good morning from Buffalo. That’s a 6ft fence under that snow. Been stuck here for 26hrs now and no sign of moving soon. Also, a new snow front come through later… #tourlife #buffalo #snow #hothandroll
The band Interpol had to cancel a show in Toronto because their bus has been stuck in the snow outside Buffalo for 30 hours.
Still trapped yo! Haven’t really moved in 30 hours and we’ve been on the bus for nearly 40 hours. Nutso. Never seen anything like it.-DK
