Well, we are currently up to 78 inches and still rising, next town over has over 85 and counting. I'm on vacation and have spent the first 4 days shoveling and snow blowing, I can't even get out of town because they have declared a state of emergency and closed down all roads to unnecessary travel.

This is getting REAL old, REAL fast.

All this snow kinda reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge. It was said to be one of the coldest winters in history for Europe besides all of the Ice Ages.

half of lake Erie is frozen over, that must be a local effect of global warming.

I dont mind snow, even if it's feet deep. It's the cold that bothers me.

Here it's so cold that exposed flesh hurts.

I was watching the Weather Channel for 30 min tonight. You folks are getting hammered! Wish you the best, stay warm!

We're going skiing tomorrow night, but no snow forecast (120" base though).

Yeah you start to get cabin fever so you just hope you have plenty of stuff to munch on so when the roads do somewhat clear up you aren't in the rush with a ton of other people fearing for their well being in the near future. I remember after the big storm here before Christmas hardly anyone was prepared, next snow forecast the grocery stores were cleaned out.

I just hope your streets aren't as bad as ours were (still are to an extent).

LOL storch I hear that alot too. But, I must say when I was young I loved it. Now..eh..I can take a little, but I dont like to see alot. I think those that work in it, rather than just play in it probably like it more. As for moving I really cant, as I have too much invested in this area, plus I want to be near my family. I guess I like snow better in Dec, and have it go away than to get dumped on in March or April and have it last till May.

I predict, through scientific research, that's it's gonna be warm in Summer also.

Mark this date so you can reference it, cause I'll be right.

Usually the lakes are frozen over by mid January and the lake effect machine is reduced at it's source.

What lakes are you talking about? I've lived on the shore of Lake Ontario for 26 years and its never frozen over, even in the winter of '03-'04 when the whole month of January was about -30F.

that could be fun, cause that 120" base is now probably granular ice with a couple inches powder on top (@least thats what its like on Mt. Helen)

Maybe global warming contributes to an Ice Age? Then again its just winter but didn't last year seem very hot? Here in Oklahoma last year we had little ran and it was always hot. He had so much grass and forest fires. We had a burn ban for like half a year to a year in different parts of the state. This year its been raining or snowing. I just hope its one of those crazy part in time when the weather gets really bad then goes back to normal a few years later.
