different Beast, similar results

Buffalo only had 7 inches of new snow from the 1977 storm

Lake Erie froze over very early (mid dec) which collected large amounts of dry powdery snow on it over time

very strong SW winds blew all of that snow into the city off the Lake

Nasty....but as usual...it will go away...the flowers will bloom in the spring as usual.

There is no global warming CAUSED BY MAN. It is the phenomenon of constant change applicable to our universe.

I was working in 1977 with one of my first jobs. Yeah it was bad but people handled it well as seen by this documentary:

Now we have people (particularly the under 40 set) going out and buying heat pumps as their sole heating source then bringing in charcoal grills, etc. in thus COing themselves.

The signs were all there for significant lake effect and cold temps; fairly long hot summer, swarms of box elder bugs and lady bugs in the Fall.

I was living off campus during the blizzard of ‘77. My car was buried for 2 weeks and the snow was so high that plows couldn’t be used, they had to bring in front end loaders to put it on dump trucks to get rid of it. The wind was so bad the wind chill got to -60 F.

Might be true if not for the fact that over 100 people were prosecuted for looting during the 77 storm.

Ha, I had to laugh at your last line as we live 100 miles southeast of the tip of Lake Michigan, but we’re are in direct line of Lake effect snow.

There is a roughly 50 year cycle to sun spot cycles.

there is one difference that might have been overlooked, maybe not.

1977 did not have the NYZtate version of Kamala Harris for governor.

In 2020, churches were closed and some who tried to go were cited or arrested. You don’t build relationships via online services.

The winter of 77-78 in Indiana, we had a blizzard much like yours. My husband and I walked to the local grocery/produce market and bought what we could carry. Driving was prohibited, but it was inventory time at Kmart so they sent someone to get me so we could keep on calculating. That was the end of January’78. A few weeks into February, I knew we had a blizzard baby coming.

Now we have great grandchildren, and the neighbor snow blowed the drive this morning before we could get out. I will donate a meal to their table in return later this week. We shoveled a foot and a half of snow that filtered into the garage. New spring on the door, tight enough to not let it close all the way. At this age I’m happy with shoveling a bit of snow from the garage.

We didn’t get much, hard to say we even got 4-6”. But the 50 mph winds we the beast!

Exactly, I remember the leftists promising us BENEFITS from ultimate diversity.

It’s all a lie, what makes a people great is what they have in common. Not all their differences.

In 1977 it was used as proof of THE COMING ICE AGE was upon us.

2022 is being used as proof of Glo-Bull Warming!

The brutal cold should have put the global warming nonsense out of it’s misery.
