Weather Watchers
Related: About this forumI'm so glad we don't get lake effect snow like this off of Lake Michigan.

(26,178 posts)It was one of those 'once in a hundred years' types of Winter where snow was drifting up and over the airline hangers. There were days when the wind was so strong, some of us needed escorts to hold on to us when we were walking outside, and even days when nobody was allowed outside because of the white out conditions.
I actually received a 'Meritorious Service' ribbon for surviving that weather. Ah, memories.

(24,259 posts)while our area doesn't really get hit by lake effect I've learned that if you want to go into Watertown or, especially if you want to go down I81 to Syracuse, checking the weather first during snow season is always wise.
OTOH it's a gorgeous area of NYS during the nicer weather which thankfully there's quite a lot of.

(34,174 posts)I clicked on the app and it said that it was 77F. I live in Lansing, MI. I forgot I was checking the weather in Lahaina, Maui because I'm going there next week and forgot to change it back to my local weather. It's actually 23F with a wind chill of 10F. That's more like it. I'm such an idiot sometimes. Wow, that's frigid for Florida. I remember one time the friend I'm going to Maui with and I went to Galveston in December. They were apparently having a "cold snap." It was about 62F and we were sitting on the beach in tee-shirts, enjoying the balmy weather. Then we looked back at the boardwalk and everybody was all bundled up in sweatshirts, wool hats, and gloves. Everything's relative.
