I got western NY snow stories as I lived in buffalo for two years, like the one about the body in the snow bank in the spring (guy left a bar and didn't make it home) ... I'm not one to ever disparage a place, but ... I live far from away there.
I'm proud to report that where I live our snowfall was .... ZERO!
What they got was lake effect snow, and it is a CRAZY thing. I feel for them, I hope the Buffalonians are OK.
(now watch, tomorrow we get a dump.)
