Now the concern is the warm temps and all the melting-it was in the mid 60's today. Do you mean 640 miles from Buffalo? No way it's 40 miles????
I am in the Niagara area and we are roughly 40 to 50 miles from Buffalo. We are 15 miles from the famous Niagara Falls. Buffalo gets lake effect snow coming off Lake Erie and we live on the south western part of Lake Ontario. We very seldom get a snow storm, people that live in this area call it the banana belt of Ontario. We have not a snowflake on the ground at all.
We haven't gotten much here either....yet lol. That's fine be me though.We don't get the lake effects here either-we're on the St. Lawrence River- kinda protected by the Adirondacks in the valley. Today it was extremely windy with temps in the high 60's (F) but it is supposed to drop back down to cool temps.by Thanksgiving-another storm system is in the works according to the weather forecasters.
There was a story on the news here in Australia of an expectant mother over that way somewhere being taken to hospital on a tractor to have her baby because of the snow :)
So worried about my son who is stationed at Fort Drum but lives and has to drive back and forth from Llions to the base everyday. It's a 2 hour drive one way in the morning and again in the evening.
Fort Drum/Watertown region gets a lot of lake effect snows-Tug Hill is always bad if there is even a little snow predicted-not sure what it like from Drum to Lyons Falls though
oh you ladies brought back memories! I used to live in Glenfield not far from Lyons Falls still in that Tug Hill snow belt. One Christmas we got 33 inches of snow overnight on Christmas eve! I was so afraid we wouldn't be able to make it home (Plattsburgh area) to see my family that year! We got a late start but made it! Took awhile to unbury the car! Man, we really had lots and lots of snow when we lived there!

Serious weather they are having. My prayers are with them all, especially the homeless.
Tes the homeless for sure. Also the ones that rely on meals on wheels, because the delivery people can't drive on the roads.
Well you need to have some we got a foot in our bush ,glad its not a foot but it has been snowing slowly for days now .hugs Carolyn 8 hours from Buffalo
yes i am sewing on the wall thee other side of the wood stove sometimes i need my shorts on lol .Last night it was -23 sick it is only Nov. We are in for another longgg winter:(:(
While on the other side of the world, our Summer is expected to be a long, hot one, too.
I hope anyone who is having severe weather, that they are taking no chances. This is a very scary situation.
