Clarence is probably just about in the narrow band that gets the worst of the lake effect snow by Buffalo. This storm was remarkable for the amount of snow in 24 hours but what lake effect has done before is just drop a couple feet a day for several days... It is insane out there. I grew up in Central New York not too far from Tug Hill that gets the worse of it too... I remember one storm where we picked up two or three feet from a northeaster and then had a few more feet dumped by lake effect the next day so it was about six feet total... And we were really on the outside edge for lake effect. So I would say true story on her part with maybe just a bit of exaggerating to really horrify you.OSCSSW wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 8:20 pm
Since she was somewhat oiled she told me some pretty remarkably bad experiences growing up in winter Buffalo, Clarence to be exact. She never intended to be in Buffalo in fall,winter or early spring again. End of story. 5.5 feet was nothing compared to her horror stories. Either she was one hell of a better liar, I mean sea story teller, than I am (and that is really doing something) or the place is nothing but a frozen hell hole.[/color]
I'd rather be in Dego but shanghai put up with a lot during my Navy career and I promised her we would retire where she wanted. Just so happened I got a job working for one of my old ensigns at in Waltham, once again a lot of travelling but no 6 to 9 month deployments. She is now as close to her DemOrat, bat shit crazy, progressive family and my Right wing deployable sisters, all good friends of hers, in small doses. We are suppose to be in the 95/495 snow belt but CJ07; it can't hold a candle as my Gloucester fishermen family used to say to Buffalo, Clarence and Tug Hill. Still not Dego but we are close to #1 and 2 daughters and our 5 (legitimate but that's a story for another dayCJ07 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 5:45 pmClarence is probably just about in the narrow band that gets the worst of the lake effect snow by Buffalo.
