Wow, .07 ? Stay safe and be careful .

Yep two drops fell. Prob from the waste of the toilet from a jet landing.

Thanks for the warm wishes. We always bounce back from harsh weather quickly. Phoenicians are a hardy bunch.

I’m glad to see the damage under control in AZ
Just a normal lake effect afternoon here.

[thunder550]

I got frostbite just looking at that

[Ytmsn]

Oh my...

[Big Block Power]

T you can have that. We had the roads covered today for the first time.

No takers?
This is nuthin’
I love summer here. They are the best days anywhere, but i’ve GOT to wonder what my grandparents were thinking when they settled here.

When the lake effect machine starts up, and that warm lake has ice cold polar air flowing over, it just picks up the steam/moisture, carries it onto land and sprays it out like a fire hose. It can be sunny outside of an 8 mile wide band, and those who are in the path get smashed..
We’ve got about 8” with another foot possible when the band hits us again. That’s not even winter, that’s just the appetizer.
In 2014, those who got stuck in the path of the fire hose got 6’-8’ in one night..

No thanks. Been in enough of that crap sledding in Grand Marais Mi.

It gets old...fast..

[Big Block Power]

Yes it does. Like this morning and it was only a dusting.lol
Every night getting into bed I keep saying one of these days

My sister spent 5 years in Niagara... She couldn't take winters anymore and changed jobs. She said it's just brutal and she never really got used to it! Her first winter up there they got several inches of snow one morning and she asked of schools were closing and people got a good laugh at her expense. Around here we close schools at the mention of snow...

[Tuscany]

Well, unlike southern states, we are well equipped to plow and salt. Without proper salt, it's mega dangerous, so I understand how schools close with a trace of snow down south. That can turn to road ice instantly, and people die.
Unless we have a lot of snow overnight that we can't plow, schools rarely close. We are normally cleaned up before school starts.

Winter is fine this time of year. Makes things cozy. Once we get past the 1st, you better have a winter hobby, or you will go stir crazy. By the time February rolls around, we are looking to get the hell out of it. March? Things get suicidal, and we get out and stay out as long as we can, April snow? Just a soul crusher.
I can do snow, but I can't do cold. My wife went to school in Minneapolis. She says I don't know what cold is...

I don't think any of us get used to it, we just have to deal with it...
