Yikes! NY Snow Storms!

[3113]

Upstate New York is buried under snow!

More lake-effect snow could blanket parts of upstate New York Friday, forecasters said, as residents continue digging out from a storm that shut down a major highway and left up to six-foot-high drifts in its wake. The National Weather Service said several inches of snow would accumulate by daybreak around Lake Ontario, with a lake-effect snow warning continuing into the afternoon.

But forecasters said the snowfall would taper off later Friday -- a welcome reprieve after some motorists in the Buffalo, New York area, spent much of Thursday stranded on Interstate 90 -- some of them for up to 20 hours. Emergency personnel with plows worked to dig their vehicles out despite continued and concentrated precipitation.

Please check in with us, New Yorkers! Do you need us to send in the sled team with hot chocolate and holiday extras?

All of which should keep you toasty-warm throughout this time of depravation and hardship.

Thanks 3113. Too many see snowstorms as impediments; you clearly recognize them as opportunities.

Snow flurries predicted down in Virginia Saturday too.

Snow in Buffalo in December?

To quote the noted philosopher Gomer Pyle, USMC: "Well, golleee! Surprise, surprise, surprise."

Jersey is the opposite end of New York from the disaster area. It's been cloudy here, but no precipitation.

Our corner of England has been getting a sizeable blanket of snow.
This is most unusual.

What was that about global WARMING ?

Toooo funny. I'm still "Upstate" but about three hours away and I had nooo idea. Had a few flurries here. Good old lake effect snow for Buffalo. Hope everyone there is taking it in stride and staying warm.

It snowed lightly for about an hour here in Toronto yesterday morning. None of it stayed.

But I don't have to shovel it any more so I don't care.
