Snow!!

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

The reports of 6' were exaggerated---official totals were 60" or less in areas to the south of Buffalo. The city itself escaped the brunt of the storm.

Lake effect snow is not like a typical snowstorm. It could be snowing 3-5"/hour in one location and just be cloudy 5 miles away. The plume of snow shifts depending on how the wind is blowing off the open water.

Would anyone who lives in Buffalo actually admit that they were from Buffalo?

The airport in Buffalo only got 2" of snow while areas to the north got less than that.

My schnauzer had the long chest hairs and used to come in after the romp in the snow (Sandy, Utah) with those same clingy snow balls. I'd put her in a warm tub to melt them all.

Most of the new automatics get stuck in an inch of snow. Have fun shuffling off to Buffalo.

Can I be your helper? lol

Six feet of snow in Cleveland would also shut down the city but UPS would probably try to run.

What do you mean you're not coming to work???? Wut??

The lake-effect snow created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in the south parts, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away
