CORDON ‘BLUE’ AND HOW BUFFALO WEATHER ALMOST PUT OUR ENGAGEMENT DINNER
ON ICE Buffalonians like to joke about our weather, especially in the winter. We say in Buffalo there are two seasons: winter and construction season. The former lasts at least five months a year; the remaining months are spent rebuilding and repairing roads and infrastructure damaged by snow, ice, wind, and extreme temperature changes. Pot holes? We got them! Deteriorated roads? Plenty. Fallen lights poles? Watch out below! When my wife and I met in September 1980, she was already familiar with winter weather, having been raised in eastern New York. But being a country girl, she hadn’t experienced the lows of a Buffalo winter with its car wrecks, traffic jams and pot holes so deep people drive into them, never to be seen again. Buffalo weather delays, cancels and ruins many a plan of Buffalonians, from dinner dates to sporting events, concerts and even a simple get together for coffee. It certainly altered our plans for a very important wedding engagement dinner; but it couldn’t stop the wedding, or our future together. In the fall of 1983, my wife was doing her Child Life Specialist internship here in Buffalo. I was working my ass off as a department manager with TJ Maxx in Williamsville. We had been making wedding plans for some time but were not formally engaged. There was little money to spare for much of anything, but we had been hinting around with each other about going out to dinner at Mindy’s Wine Cellar, a quaint restaurant in Amherst that we really loved the few times we’d been there. We finally made reservations there on a weekday evening in late November. Unbeknownst to my wife, I had been saving every spare cent I had for an engagement ring, band and even a wedding band for myself. The rings were modest at best. We were trying to get by on my $100 a week take home salary, which left little room for everything else. I began to get anxious the week of the dinner. I wasn’t afraid of getting married, but of the details we had to deal with in planning an out- of- town wedding. We figured the best bet was to get married in Utica at the college chapel, a good location for people coming from eastern and western New York. We should have been more worried about just getting to the engagement part of things. The weather forecast hinted at a possible icing situation the day of our special dinner. This worried me. I wanted nothing to interfere with our plans. How does it feel to want, he said. I asked to leave work an hour early to deal with traffic woes that occur with weather extremes. When I left an hour early, I went to my parents’ house instead of going home. Why, I don’t know. No one was home. I spent my time pacing around the house before just giving up and leaving. By that time, mixed precipitation began to fall. I was driving my 73 Valiant, with just marginal snow tire tread in the rear and slightly better tread in the radial all seasons in front. As I proceeded town Sheridan Drive in Williamsville, the roads seemed to be more wet than icy. Suddenly, though, I heard the rear tires spin. I looked at my speedometer, which read 90 miles per hour! The reality was I was going less than 40. This was going to be a harrowing drive home. I dropped my speed to about 33, and noted cars around me all slowing down. Normally, it would take about 15 minutes to get from Williamsville to east Buffalo. This night, 15 minutes wouldn’t even get me out of Williamsville. I had figured to make a left on to North Forest Road, right on Main Street, then left on to Kensington Avenue into Buffalo. The problem is Main Street is a parking lot even in the best of conditions. I decided to take Sheridan to Bailey Avenue all the way to my street, Hastings Avenue. I don’t think any route home would have been good that night. I had forgotten that once Bailey crosses into the city near the college campus there’s an incline on that route which is normally a non factor in most driving conditions. Most conditions don’t include glare ice in rush hour. This turned Bailey into a two way ice skating rink with disastrous consequences. Cars going downhill were sliding down the road, slamming into each other at fairly low rates of speed, sometimes bouncing off the curb. For cars going uphill like me, it was another story. There was no traction and any progress was halted by the slippery road. My Valiant had poor snow tires, and I knew things could get very dicey for me. Once again, my rear tires started to spin, and the speedometer started to zip past 60. I was down to about 10 miles per hour before I decided to edge my car to the edge of the curb to gain more traction. That worked well enough to get me past 10 mph and continue up the hill. I finally made the top and took a breath. Unfortunately, what I saw ahead of me made my heart sink. There was a long line of traffic barely moving. I knew dinner was going to be late, or not at all. My routine the rest of the way home was to use drive or neutral only, no brakes or gas. Use of the gas or brakes would cause the car to lose control. I would coast up to lights in neutral, then when the light turned green, I would put the car in drive and roll at 5 mph to the next light. I saw a peculiar sight going the other way. There was a work van stuck in place on the ice. The road was flat but the van had no traction. The horrible driving went on for another 30 minutes, until I saw the turn for Hastings Avenue. There was no traffic on my street, so I was actually able to drive at about 15. The time was 7 pm, where we should have been at Mindy’s just sitting down to a memorable dinner. Instead, I took my exhausted, wobbly body upstairs in the dark. What happened to the power? I found that out when I entered our small apartment find my wife sitting quietly on the living room chair. According to my wife, the power went out late afternoon after she came home from work. No dinner, no power no nothing. We contemplated our fate and decided leaving home was out of the question. It was either eat sandwiches or try to order out for pizza. We chose the latter but by the time the pizza arrived it was ice cold. The driver looked totally frazzled and said it had taken him an hour to get to our house. Oh well. We lit a few candles, ate pizza and talked about the wedding. I presented the engagement ring and we eventually went to bed. The power came on sometime in the middle of the night. That apartment was always cold. That night it was even colder but we had our love to keep us warm. As for the wedding, the following spring, it had its share of miscues as well. My wife, escorted by her father, stopped at the door to the chapel. Dad asked what was wrong. My soon to be wife said she couldn’t go. Dad asked why. Wife said her dress was stuck in the door. Part two the zipper to my rented tux broke when I put It on. Repairs were attempted but all failed. I spent the entire day with my right elbow holding up my pants. Part three, we picked up the wedding cake in Buffalo and hauled it to the Brae Loch Inn in Cazenovia on our way to Utica. It was superhot that day and there was construction near Syracuse. I took a turn to sharply and the cake thumped hard against the trunk. Luckily, no damage was found when we made it into Cazenovia. The wedding lunch was lovely. We feasted on Chicken Cordon Bleu, which tasted remarkably like Mindy’s. All in all a great day. Mindy’s is long gone, as is most of the plaza is was located in. As for the Valiant I treated it to new snow tires two years later. Actually, it was four new studded tires. The memory of the Bailey Avenue incident had burned into my memory like the brand mark from “Yellowtone.” With our 40th anniversary coming in May, the marriage endures like a fine wine. We eat Chicken Cordon Bleu from time to time, mostly buying it from the local butcher. Each time we eat that my memories go back 40 years to the day our engagement dinner ended up “on ice.”
