Erie Pa - frozen bunghole of the UNIVERSE

[warrprayer]

"The Salt City in central New York had 81 inches of snow as of Monday to rank fourth in the race to win the Golden Snow Globe competition. Erie, Pa., is the runaway leader with 107.5 inches. Buffalo, N.Y., is second with 94.4 inches."

This is old - we are way over that now, with more to come as Titan barrels in on us.

1. We are expecting more snow on Sunday into Monday.

After tomorrow, I'm going back into hibernation.

3. I was outside a little today

the wind is a special kind of diamond edge cutting wind

5. My car needs a new part before it will pass inspection.

That's why I've been out everyday. Trying to clear the problem without repairing it.

2. Remember last week... they were telling us that the lakes were frozen over?

So there wasn't enough moisture for heavy snow! Ha! This is the winter without end.

4. Titan is coming -

they are calling for over 6 inches here Monday

9. Yeah, that cuts into the "Lake-Effect Snow"

... but the kind where moist gulf air meets the cold arctic stuff, the lakes don't matter.

6. Erie may be ahead nationally, but Syracuse is leading for the Golden Snowball:

Of course- we've had some very, very strange weather in March some years!

7. The seagulls have relocated to the three rivers because of the freezing of the Great Lakes.

11. Seagulls are actually edible

but they are a protected species.
I read about a butcher in Germany who lived near the ocean - for years he had been trapping seagulls to use in his sausage.
He was charged with taking a tern for the wurst.
