DUNKERK, N.Y. (WKBW) – Dunkirk has received almost three feet of snow since Friday, and as the snow continues to fall, tow truck drivers have been working non-stop.

It started snowing in Dunkirk on Friday, and within hours Pennsylvania, then New York State, had closed parts of Interstate 90, but for the owner of Ellman’s Garage in Dunkirk, Jim Ellman, it began days of non-stop work.

Q: “Do you think there were more people in and around the city of Dunkirk because the Thruway was closed?”


Ellman: “Oh sure. With the 90 closed, they tried to follow routes 5 and 20, and things didn’t go much better. They also slid off the road there.”


Jim takes both private calls and is contracted by AAA to help people who need help in the city of Dunkirk.


He tells me he doesn’t have the proper equipment to help cars stranded on the Thruway, but when the Thruway closed, all traffic went straight into his coverage area.


“(Sunday night) our guys, including myself, were so tired and exhausted that we basically called AAA and let everyone know that we were out of service at 10 p.m. Sunday night until 8 a.m. Monday morning,” Ellman said. . “It snowed so much and it never really stopped.”

However, not every driver made it to Route 5.


I met Pawan Sharme in the parking lot of a Home Depot just off the Thruway. He was on his way back home to Canada, but parked his semi-truck there Saturday because he couldn’t get any further.

“The road was blocked, 90 were blocked because of the snow,” Sharme said.


Three days later, his truck is still sitting in several inches of snow, and now it won’t start, leaving him stuck in the Dunkirk winter until it’s repaired.


After about a meter of snow in three days, things cleared up in Dunkirk, at least a little bit Monday morning, giving Ellman and Sharme a much-needed break.
