Here we go again!Sunday forecast: 3-5" of heavy, wet snow! This better be one helluva nice summer, or I'm going to be thoroughly pissed! Last year was pretty much of a bust... bad summer for the pool, but reasonable for just about all other activities. But this winter has been a royal pain. No really big storms, but I'm tired of 1-3" every couple of days. It feels like it's going to take until well into May before all this snow melts off and we see green again. I've always scoffed at the "snowbirds" who head for Florida or Arizona for the winter, but it's starting to look for attractive to me as the days pass under cloudy, gray skies, and slushy, slippery roads hamper even local travel. We have friends/neighbors who just bought a home in central Florida... I laughed at first, but I'm beginning to reconsider my position. It's starting to look better and better every day. I guess the one saving grace for us... we're not in Boston!!! We used to say that about Buffalo! |

We've have -#F every couple of days for the past 2-3 weeks. Snow or cold take your pick |

Snowed on my b-day wayyyyy back in the 70's - late April.
We are supposed to get 2-4, 3-5 north of 70. Snow tonight, then a chance of it switching to rain or a mix in teh morning, and then finish with snow Sunday afternoon. |

WE have a good bit of snow - most churches are shutdown for the day - some are opening at 11 am (though I bet that will be a stretch). |

We really only got 2-3" of new snow. It's pretty wet, but there's no appreciable snow, so clearing the drives wasn't a big deal. Radar shows us getting some more this afternoon, but the forecast called for the heaviest accumulations to be from dawn today 'til about noon. if that proves to be true, we dodged a pretty big bullet on this one. The temperature is up so it was actually pretty nice... getting some fresh air, without freezing my ass off!
The city plows already have the streets cleared nearly all the way down to bare pavement. At least, for the intersections, curves, and hills. |

This winter has been brutal. I personally loved -20 when my house was making loud cracks. Some sounded like gunshots! Thankfully Lake Erie is frozen! |

My place has been cracking' & popping', too! Woke my wife and I up, out of a sound sleep one night! I thought sure as hell a tree limb had fallen on the roof. Sounded like a .22 going off. I expected to find all kinds of damage when I looked around in the daylight. But... didn't find any evidence of anything amiss. |

Thankfully, all that stuff is sliding pretty-much south of us. |
