This is why I only summer in Boston! Have to spend the rest of the year in Alabama where we delay school for 19 degree weather and close down the whole state if the "S" word is used
I saw it on news yesterday or the day before. I was "oh my, so scarry... And it´s still November"... Stay safe you all.
Lorien ... the real scary hasn't even begun ... they are supposed to get temperatures much higher come the weekend which will melt it all at once ... which means flooding just before they get walloped again ....
The other day Buffalo got over 6 feet of snow - thought we might get the same storm, but I guess the storm shifted. We've gotten snow, but only a few inches here & a few inches there. I love snow.
@susan: That was exactly what my aunt who lives in the NY state told me once, in the beginning of the year
I´m almost sure I wouldn´t like snow a if I´d happen to see it someday...
Lorien ... snow can be fun .... you can make snow angels, build a snowman, ski, toboggan, skate ... Ottawa has the longest skating rink in the world mid-winter when the temperatures are cold enough ... we have a festival around it. Walking when the sun is shining, it's cold and the snow crunches underneath your feet is cool but snow can also be deadly, fast ... my hubby got caught in it one year after somebody clobbered the car and kept on driving. If it hadn't been for a good woman who picked him up and took him home for the night they would have found him frozen by his car. There is nothing like looking outside while it is snowing and the sun is shining through the flakes as they are coming down with a sky very blue ... most times though the sky is filled with snow so you can't see it. People in Buffalo have so much snow that it can be dangerous for people shoveling, roofs falling in from the weight, no hydro to keep them warm, stranded on the highways for hours at a time, ventilation in homes being covered ... it's a bit of ying and yang when it comes to winter in the Northern Hemispheres
So... I wouldn't call what we had a snow storm; BUT... in SC (I live in the more southern part of the state, not to mention SC is a southern state... LoL) AND we got 4 inches of snow on Nov 1st. It was the earliest recorded snow we've had in 125 years and that year it was on Nov 9th, 1889. Before that there is no record of an earlier date since the official US record-keeping only started in the 1880's and were only sporadically kept since the late 1700's.
any who... all that to say with the weird whether every where already this Fall/Winter, I'm thinking we may ALL be in for a rougher WINTER than "Normal" in the US.
@Susan: That's exactly why I love "visiting" the northern States and Canada BUT could NEVER live there on a full time basis. I however can do 105 degrees without batting a lash.
Snow can be very pretty. I am cold intolerant and I have lived in Wisconsin all of my life. I have never had a snowfall like Buffalo just got pasted with, but while they were getting coated we went below zero. We have had snowfall that sticks as early as Halloween, but normally we don't get sub-zero temperatures until January.
And I, here in sunny Queensland, Australia, have never even seen snow! Our temperatures the last few weeks have been up to 41C - and we are still officially in "Spring"......
Here is a drone's eye view of Buffalo's storm for all you who have never seen snow ..... tremble
