Why do people live in Buffalo

[TonyG]

and other cities or towns where the weather is always bad.

Buffalo has now had 100 inches of snow this winter. Keep in mind that 'official' winter is not even 1 month old. That's just over 8 feet of snow in just about three weeks.

My guess is they can't leave because they're all snowed in.

 

[Ksss]

Cause for the other 7-8 months of the year we forget how rotten our winters really are? And we need something to bitch about?

 

[JadedHeart]

I've been asking myself that question a lot lately!

 

[Ambrosious]

It's all perspective...

Here in Atlanta, the winter of 2000 will be talked about for years.

"Y'all 'member them fo-uh inches we got back then?"

"Ay-yep. Dang cold, too."

"How 'bout dem Dawgs?"

You can keep your 8 feet and we will keep our 4 inches.

I live in Kansas where the summer highs can be over 110 and the winter lows are subzero. But I gave up Hawaii to come back here. It's what I grew up with. I like the different seasons. I like the familiarity. I like being able to tell my kids "You should've seen the snow we had back in '80!"
I think it's the roots. Some people just grow attached to a place.

Roots, someone said roots. Are mine showing? Oh, I don't dye my hair. Oopsy. Its the 118 inches of snow out there.
I live here because I love it. Love the change, love the excitement. This city has everything I could ask for, while not having too high a crime rate. Yet, I live far enough out that I am not stuck inner city. The summers are super, the falls with all the colors incredible, the springs a slow easy awakening filled with sounds and sights you dream of all winter.
I am addicted.

Only if you look closely and believe me I do!

But.. now I know where to visit especially if I can see those falls you have nearby

To those who wonder, yes, I live in the middle of the Great Lakes region. Water, water everywhere...
and not a drop to drink.
Sorry. Not true, but it slipped out. I am in a wierd mood today, so watch out. I might start spouting poetry and twisted lyrics.

"We've got five years, what a suprise, five years, thats all we got, five years, my brain hurts alot"

Ok twisted enough for you? Even if I did misquote slightly bet you could still name song, album, and artist, hell probably year of release too.

I showed my Roots, and just look what happened to me.

Okay, I confess, it was the amber waves of grain that drew me back from the balmy pacific....damn! I think I need my head examined

*giggling*
I have no idea how I did that!! My mind must have been all muddled from reading a very sexy story about Ares....

Um let me guess... you got screwed?

Last time I heard that phrase was ten years ago... small things...

 

[KillerMuffin]

Because it's better than living in a buffalo?

100 inches, gawd I can't wait to get home. Snow starts in September stops in May. 8 feet is a token dump. Valdez, Alaska averages 36 feet per year.

PS Alex Hailey spelled it Kunte Kinte

I miss Western NY! I don't miss February (I maintain that by then, the snow falls from the sky dingy) but I miss the summers because there's a festival every weekend. It's like people can't wait to get out and celebrate the Sun God.

I live about 45 min east of Buffalo and I'm thankful everyday that I don't LIVE there. The weather sucks ass even in the summer. Well it sucks here too, just not as much.


I have neighbors here on Lit? ::grins evilly::
