to be fair - the snow is actually falling in a band just south of the city.

1. Lake Effect

Cold storms, plus warmer lake water, makes cool looking for sometimes scary snow storms.

2. The oddest part of Lake Effect is how closely it is tied to wind direction and topography -

it literally happens that one side of a street has a foot of snow, and the other side has green grass showing.

18. I miss owning a plowing/landscape company.

We had 12 plow trucks, 2 backhoes, and about 8 guys with small tractors, and skid steers and snow blowers. It was a lot of fun, and good money.

10. Expecting any person to shovel that much snow

without a plow or snowblower in this day and age should be legally classified as abuse and exploitation.

5. used to live 20 miles east of there

we dug tunnels through the snow as kids and hoped for school cancellations. A whole different set of issues for adults though.

14. Yeah

I grew up in Queens, and we used to love snow days.

7. Ground is bare here and

a neighbor was out blowing leaves.


Of course it is 20 degrees with a 10+ mile/hour wind so about 10 degrees here in the Syracuse area. But, we are the betwixt and between area of Upstate NY.

9. We got lucky in the GTA(Greater Toronto area)

The storm hit Buffalo, as well as north, west and east of us. We didn't get a flake of snow, just frigid high winds.

on edit: i can't imagine how bad it is --this link shows one house with the door broken down from the snow.

17. Actually, the snow ain't nothin' - wait until this weekend when it hits 50 degrees

and it all melts at once.

Can you say 500 year flood?
