After this storm with 10"-16" lake effect is supposed to start and give us up to another 12". It's a bit early in the year for this.

Fond memories living in upstate NY!  Watertown vs. Rochester/Buffalo area, but same lake effect results!  I survived the Blizzard of '77!  (There's a facebook group for that, lol!).

Pops, I was only 5 but remember it quite well. We had a 15' drift across the road in front of our house. We had about a dozen stranded motorists that ran into the drift and each other stay at our house for a few days. Luckily the people that owned the corner store lived above it. My dad was making trips there on the snowmobile to get food to feed everyone.

Good God

15 inches????  I've got 24 inches of solid snow  in my front yard and it is still November!!! Just sitting here shaking my head.  Pretty sure I'm living in the wrong part of the world

Gary, i think the bigger problem is going to be the 24 hours of lake effect after the storm. It's going to come off of Lake Ontario with high winds. I wouldn't have this problem if you would just keep this cold air up in your country where it belongs. Lol

 

[GaryHibbert]

David   LOL   LOL   

Ok

I'll just keep our cold temps here.  But you gotta send me so bbq cause it will be too cold for me to go out

Gary

 

[davidhef88]

It's a deal.

 

[davidhef88]

Gary, that drift was 15 feet not inches.

 

[sifumar]

Oh my goodness...we lived at Ft Drum, NY for 2 long winters! Don't miss it!

 

[buffalohonker]

Will have to see just how bad it gets here in Buffalo! Usually these earlier storms are the ones they are right about, its later in the year when they overshoot them!

 

[waywardswede]

You never know, first one of the year everyone freaks out and we end up getting 4 inches.  Every once in a while, though, BAM!, we get nailed.  Lived in Lancaster, NY about 10 years ago and we got 7 feet in 3 days.  That was fun.

Davidhef, it does look like you're going to get hammered, though.  I'm sure you know the drill, get everyone home and safe then hunker down.  I'm leaving work in a few minutes, our daughter flew in from NC, landed 30 minutes ago, son is on his way home from school.  We'll all be safe and sound before it starts.

 

[GaryHibbert]

Hey Swede

That's the whole secret  get everybody home and safe!!!!!  After that oh welll, too bad, so sad.  Not a whole lot we can do about the snow or the weather.  Personally I hate it, but..............  Take care, stay warm, keep a fire going, drink lots of hot chocolate.LOL--maybe even put a little run in the hot..

Gary

 

[davidhef88]

We got lucky and only got about 8 inches of wet heavy snow Tuesday night, and a couple inches of light fluffy stuff last night.

 

[buffalohonker]

Alot more than me! Cheetowaga i got MAYBE 3"

 

[bountyhunter]

Gary did  you get the rain yesterday. I guess the highway was a skating rink fron Stony plain to Wabamun

Harold

 

[GaryHibbert]

Hey Harold

Nope,, no rain here but atoday real thick ice fog.  Roads are not good

Gary

 

[GaryHibbert]

Hey All

We're getting nailed for the 4th time this Fall.  So far this time its put another foot on the ground today and it doesn't look like its getting ready to stop snowing any time soon.  Unfortunately, my road is glare ice under the snow and when I came home from town the 4x4 just refused to turn into the yard.  So will have to get my neighbor's tractor and my tow chain out tomorrow.  At least it was only a five minute walk to the house. Isn't life fun.  LOL

Gary

 

[bountyhunter]

I guess we got away lucky then. We are about an hour north east of you in  Darwell and we have about 6". Our neighbors are stuck in Great Falls in a whiteout so it is a big storm

Harold

 

[venture]

Its that there Global Warming thing?

You been there.  You know what to do?

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[GaryHibbert]

When I got up this morning at 4:30 it was 36 below.  At the best part of the day it got up to 25 below.  Too cold for this child--just stayed inside.  Here's a pic of my front yard (plowed) and my back yard.  No shortage of snow here
