Snow

[Lawrence]

Wow, even this Canadian is impressed... Buffalo NY received over 6 feet of snow in the last 3 days, and some say it will climb to over 7 and a half feet of snow by Wednesday.

I lived in Goose Bay Labrador when I was in my twenties, and was use to getting so much snow that reminders would be issued that it was illegal to drive your snowmobile up the side, and then over the top of airport hangars. I also do recall having so much snow fall in a couple of days that it was impossible to shovel or snow-blow your driveway, we had to "tunnel" our cars out instead. But in Labrador, that was the norm.

To those in Buffalo: stay safe, and take your time with the shoveling; not worth risking a heart attack over.

I'm jealous of them. We haven't gotten any snow over here yet, but there is a 100% chance (at least as of right now) of a rain and snow mix on Friday: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail2/USWA0130

If it freezes at night, even better! I love driving in bad conditions!

We somehow got snow in the DFW area of Texas, central Texas doesn't ever see snow until after January.

I am about 90 minutes south of Buffalo and we haven't had much snow here. The deep snow is rather localized in Buffalo.

In addition to the snow they already have, they are to have temperatures in the 50's with rain, perhaps causing flooding, followed by more snow later.

This is not a good time to be living in Buffalo.

Buffalo, New York Area, Great Lakes, Lake-Effect Snow Impacts: At Least 7 Dead, State of Emergency Declared
My prayers go out to their families.

Lake-effect snow is the worst, IMHO. At least here in NY State.

For those curious, Buffalo forecast calls for more snow and a possible thunderstorm on Saturday:
