I lived in a town called Massena in extreme northern new york state back in the 70's , Buffalo ain't got shit on that place.
Buffalo gets lake effect. In Massena it just snows all winter, every fucking day.

My highschool was literally buried in snow all winter in 77, you couldn't even see it except for the front doors where they were cleared and the auditorium/gymnasium.

I'm pretty lucky with those. (knock on wood)

I dodged the Northridge quake, was in Japan at the time.

My parents house got pretty messed up from it.

The thruway screwed up big time. People new it was coming nothing new here. People that use snow tires have the on already. You will find a lot of people don't use them. Ive never had snow tires on my car, never felt the need for them.
I live in Hamburg and we ended up with 20 inches of snow. The roads where cleared fast and all the kids where in school today.
 Quoting: Hickory

Yeah, I learned early on that regular radials with the air let out a bit was better than snow tires.
Snow tires are a rip off

Your storm must have scared VDOT, they were sand-salting I-66 today between Fairfax and Front Royal (Virginia).

We had a few brief snow flurries.

Driving home tonight around 6:30 I saw my first snow of the season. Big fat flakes, very pretty.

But I have not forgotten the 2 storms that dropped 4 feet on us last February.

I thought I was gonna die. No power, no heat, no computer, no phone, no way to cook food, 0 degrees F, wind blowing like a sonofabitch.

It took them 10 days to dig out our road.

10 freakin' days.

We live in the Syracuse area... Looks like you all got a big jump on the Snowball award this year!!! I always hate a big storm this early in the season, it seems like as soon as you get done moving all the snow around it melts and makes a freakin mess...

I used to live in Baldwinsville. Remember lots of snow and cold winters. hf

I'm from Baldwinville (oldies call it Baldwinsville), MA. and NRHS class of '71. Same Baldwinville? There are plenty around the country.

Baldwinsville NY. Lived there from 80 till 87. Then moved to the Buffalo area.

We didn't have the wind and it wasn't that cold. I think most people have generators here. If they are smart they do.

The city of Buffalo gets about 100 inches a year. I'm south of the city and we get more.

People here get in an uproar, if their streets aren't plowed within 24 hours of the end of the snow fall.
I can understand the people being stuck on the thruway for nearly 34 hours being mad. That was way to long.

People that live in the snow belts on the great lakes can handle it, and it could be sunny in down town Buffalo or any other city near the belt and 10 miles away can get like 200 inches of snow and you drive 30 miles through it and it is sunny again... used to live up that way and love the lake effect. afro
