Just one or two flakes that you had to squint to see around here. 20 miles west of here, schools were closed and a driving ban was issued. 60 miles west in Buffalo, they got 1-2 feet of snow and the Governor has declared the region a disaster area. (Some feel that is a formal announcement of a pre-existing condition, but I digress. ;D) Trees are down (it's peak foliage and the trees are still leafed out) and power is out, some till Tuesday they figure. candle_smiley

I-90 was closed from Rochester to Dunkirk, a 90 mile stretch that left many irate travelers cooling their heels in the area.  smiley_furious

We expect ours to peg the throttle.  When you lose traction you usually spin your wheels .  Ours spins wheels even in the summer.  ;D

Well, according to many pundits, he'll declare his candidacy for the presidency.  smiley_heh_heh

If there is one place that knows how to handle winter, it's Buffalo. This caught everyone off guard. Downed trees and widespread power outages are the biggest problem.

The trees were what I was concerned about.
We have a large amount that are in poor shape, ready to go at any time.
Can't afford to have them removed and they are all full of leaves yet.
A heavy snow right now would be really bad!
We got hit hard 10 or so years back in the middle of October.
So far it's been blowing too hard to get much to stick around the last couple days.

I am only about 20 or so miles from some of the Buffalo area's that got buried with that wet snow but we have green grass here. The big problem in the area is downed power lines and trees all over the place. I was going to take my saw and truck and go up there and make some money but after seeing pictures of all the downed wires buried in limbs and snow I decided to stay home and relax. Some of my neighbors are summer people only and called me to check on their properties here at the lake. I told them it was nice here and we had power. They live in the area's that got blasted and have no power. I told them I would leave the light on for them if they could get out of the city. :D  :D I guess there are about 290,000 customers without power. Could be several days before it comes back on. Lots of those houses really need their sump pumps too, especially with all that melting snow. Lots of those high end housing developements around Buffalo are built in more or less wetlands.
