OT Batten down your hatches in Buffalo.

Crack a Molson and fry up some back bacon, it'll be alright when the morning comes .

eh ?

2.5 inches in the northtowns, but in the southtowns where the game was to take place...(just saw this posted) - it's still coming down:

 

[multijd]

For those still interested 54 in of snow has fallen in 24hrs. in Orchard Park where the Bills stadium is.

 

[Stixnergard2]

Current data for Orchard Park on the 11:00 pm news is 66”. I live just north of Buffalo near Pendleton and Lockport. We have 2” on the ground and will be getting 5-8” through tomorrow. We are super lucky living on the edge of the mess.

Man, I sincerely miss living there.
We would get hit with those total white out storms.
It was seriously cool.
Couldn’t go to work … so we would grab the toboggan and hit the hills.
We had a blast.
It was a magical place walking to the coffee shop after a deep snow.
Even junkyards looked incredibly beautiful covered with a sparkly deep white layer.
Just stunning.

After 48 harsh Canadian winters, I can tell ya that feeling stays with me for the first 3-4 snowy days and/or maybe Christmas week.

Beyond that it's waving your fist at the snowplow driver who buries the parking space you had just spent 2hrs shoveling clean.

It's risking your life shoveling your house's roof after each storm.

It's no longer feeling your toes after a 2 blocks walk.

It's thousands of road-bound imbeciles who never took the time to learn how to drive in icy/snowy conditions and/or think they can get by with "4 seasons" tires...

It's unloading and re-loading the band's trailer in temperatures thatt turns your spine into one giant bone marrow Mr. Freeze.

Oh I still got plenty and could go on forever ... But yeah, for a minute here and there, it can be magical... !!!

It's 8pm right now here in kona area of Hawaii and the temp has cooled down to a pleasant 78. Was 86 earlier which was good for snorkeling but a little warm for just walking around. Aloha.

I’ve often wondered how you guys up in Canada manage through the winter. I spent 4 years in ice cold Boston and did nothing but complain for 5 months out of the year while a good friend of mine in Quebec just sat back and laughed at me. I was very close to doing my masters at Université Laval and I guess I just chickened out.

Oh boy! I lived there for 6 years, Quebec City is COOOOOOOLD in the winter. Mostly on account of being right on the St-Lawrence river. The humidity will go right through any clothes you have and chill your soul. Well I heard there are some Okay universities in and around Boston, so I guess it turned out alright for you

Good old genesee, back in high school in the 80’s if you went to a keg party in Ohio that’s what you were drinking. I have a couple of tallboys in the fridge right now and their bock beer is very tasty!

Just moved out of Buffalo 2 months ago. We relocated to Richmond, Virginia to be closer to our son and daughter in law, warmer climate, lower taxes, etc. We built a beautiful home here and we love it.

The first part is all good, but Virginia has different taxes...not necessarily lower taxes. I lived there. Wait until you see your personal property taxes every year for everything, even that old boat trailer and canoe.

 

[rpludwig]

Andersons
Swistons

They’re looking at up to 4 feet of snow out your way.

We did not get 77” like Orchard Park (home of the Bills), in the northern Buffalo suburbs. Amherst, the largest northern suburb where I’m at recieved 6.5” Friday night and 5? more last night. It’s normal here. But some areas got hit.
