O/T: SOS Different Day
"Lake Effect Snow", AKA: "Lake Erie Snow Machine" has struck again.
The folks in upstate New York get hit first time this year. Parts of the Thruway are a parking lot. SOS, different day. Time for some to get up on the roof and start shoveling. Mean while, it's 72F outside my window, but the rains are coming. I'll take it.. Lew |

T- shirt weather, blue sky, not a drop of rain for 10 days. My cohorts tried to talk me into staying another week, but I had a commitment in Toronto so I couldn't. When I got home, the tele was showing the pile- ups of cars on the M4 due to heavy snow. I couldn't even get through to my friends at Cambridge (to neener them, of course) because the telephone lines were down. This all happened within a period of 48 hours. There are some serious winters on record in the UK. They say that they started driving on the wrong side of the road during one of those storms and were too stubborn to admit they messed it all up. |

The town of West Seneca is listed at 36". I live in South Buffalo and although there is no offical reading they're now saying South Buffalo was the hardest hit. The snow in my back yard before it compacted slightly was even with the top of my 4" chain link fence.

Lew Lew, Nova, etal, We're originally from Jamestown, NY, and that's the reason we drag our 36' 5th wheeler to Longview, TX in the winter. Whatever happens here, we don't have to SHOVEL IT!!!!!!! Our kids still live there, but they say they've only had a 1 or 2" dusting so far, waiting to see if the wind shifts. We did get 6" last January, had to rake it off the awnings, but it was gone the next day. Norm |
