AHHH, I was just looking at the news this evening, as we were gone all day at the hospital for my DH, and I just saw that there was 6" of snow 1/2 hour north of us. (GULP) ....sure glad we didn't have to drive through that to get to the hospital and back home, even if I can see the building from our front window. It was just cold and windy here. Lake effect snow....gotta love it if you live that close to the lake.
Zero inches in one place and four feet in another, the lake effect is truly weird. Glad you did not have to contend with it. Do you have to deal with it often? Jerry
We live in the tertiary lake effect snow zone. So we get it depending on the wind/weather pattern. We get enough of it to keep anyone who plows snow busy. Until the lake freezes over the snow keeps piling up, after that we start getting arctic weather. Now that is COLD and windy, but the cold is bone penetrating cold. hard to explain the difference in how cold it feels due to the humidity. Last year was an entirely different year for snow than we have ever had that I have experienced. the snow started and it wasn't lake effect. it was the low pressure system that never seemed to go away.
