Welcome to Buffalo. For those of you thinking of coming up, here are some random thoughts:

1. If you've been here a few years ago, you might not recognize it now. Sure, the weather is as lousy as ever, but downtown has really developed and the city is used to this, having hosted the NCAA before. For getting around, check: http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/12/cabs-train s-auto... Several new hotels (including one that's part of Harbor Center, which is directly attached to the arena).

2. If you have trouble getting hotels nearby, as a last resort there are plenty in Niagara Falls (NY and ON) that should be available this time of year.

3. Speaking of Niagara Falls, if you haven't seen them you should. Yeah, it's kinda touristy, but you should see it once. But if you do, bring your passport; view is much, much better from the Canadian side.

4. And while you're there, believe it or not that area is Canada's Napa Valley, with lots of wine tours. The wine itself is plonk, but it is one of the world's best for ice wine, worth trying once. And just a few miles, whoops, I mean kilometers, north is Niagara-on-the-Lake. If you're into quaint and charm, that's the place to go.

5. Overall, if the forecast holds true it might slow things a bit but not close anything; it's usually the squalls of the lake that get the national publicity. Just another day here.
