Did I hear they were trucking in snow for the Olympics? I did look at Accuweather.com for Vancouver and did not see where it got down to or below freezing for the next 15 days.

The snow is just the grease for the icebergs. It is time for another
ice age. Global warming will heat up the burgs, then they will slide.

Sigh! Len I'll take snow over all kinds of other winter weather. All I have to do with snow is plow it off the driveway and ice rink. If I happen to be out early enough in the day, the sun takes care of whatever the plow doesn't get. You guys in the northeast have gotten way more than your share. It would be interesting to have that much snow once, but I'm in no hurry to experience it. Puckdropper |

Most winters there is at least one BD. This year a few areas have gotten a BD more than once, and rather close together. Then it ceases to be fun, especially if the power goes out. For me, today was alright (in North Jersey we didn't get anything of that first BD DC received 5 days ago). Today I didn't feel the need to go commute into NYC, it wasn't cold (right around freezing), and while heavy, the snow shoveled well enough. But it would not be fun if we got another BD in a few days ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Start designing a delivery system - e.g. like those used to fill Silos!
Wood transits a tunnel to the local crib. House end has the switch. Auto hopper on the far end - e.g. a silo. We expect hours of ice and then snow on top. My porch crib is full.

Even with the six inches that fell yesterday but we are still at less that half of our normal snow fall for this time of winter season. If this continues, it could translate to low water levels in our lakes and rivers. |

Considering the total snowfall we've had this winter, that's a lot. We're on course for a record minimal amount of snow this winter. I think it's great. Used to be that winter was good for throwing a few snowballs and cooling off my beer. Not enough snow for either of those things this winter. Might even make me rethink my moving down south somewhere when I win the lottery. When I do, you're all invited to the party. |

Aw, I feel for you guys - NOT. Suck it up. At least you guys don't
have to deal with that **** all winter, every winter. I do. I'd move if I could. Since I can't I'll deal with it and not complain. The people in Haiti have something to complain about - you guys don't. |

We normally have about 48" at this time of the season and are at less than half that. So far this season we've officially had 63.1". The average seasonal total snowfall for this date is 69.9" so we're slightly below normal. The record was 199.4" for the 1976 - 1977 season (Blizzard of '77). Officially Buffalo hold the state record at 199.4" but Rochester, NY and Syracuse, NY normally get more snow than Buffalo. The Syracuse average is 121.1" and Rochaster's average is 100.3" Unofficially the Buffalo weather station where the measurements are taken is at the airport which is in Cheektowaga, NY. I've had 4' of overnight snow at my home in the south part of Buffalo and the official measurement at the airport, about 10 miles east of me, was about 5". Lake effect snow storms are like that. -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA |

We have had a glacier at the end of our driveway since mid December from continuous removal and piling. But I cannot imagine what you folks are going through.

I've only plowed three times this winter, and of those I really only needed to plow once. But it sure has been cold this winter. January was a beast. We can get a hell of a lot of snow in February, but this year I think Lake Ontario cooled down enough during January that we just may not see a lot of February snow. It would not hurt my feelings to see an early spring this year. -- -Mike- |

Well of course - I live where we get the snow and you guys get the publicity. I'm a half hour north of Syracuse. We're on the edge of the Tug Hill Plateau. Get a little further north of us and they really get blasted, but we're on the edge of the blast. Normal around here is that by February, the snowbanks are up to the stop signs. Go a bit further north (oh maybe... 10 miles or so), and that happens a month earlier. This year - not even close. -- -Mike- |
