“For us, that’s major!”
I don’t dispute that. But six to ten inches of snow in 18 hours is certainly not heavy snow. In the last storm here, just south of Lake Erie, we had some periods during which we got 2 inches of snow in one hour! I couldn’t see my neighbor’s house. That’s “heavy snow!”
The East Coast is full of wussies. Denver gets snow and there is no mention. New York or DC gets snow and the world comes apart.
Gee, I thought that’s what I said. You said the same thing but with a few more words.
Except for those who work inside but live in, oh, let’s say, hmmm ... Kings Park.

imagine being trapped with your mother in law for another few days !!!
It wasn't.
Okay. Do you happen to know where that saying DID come from? Just curious...
The answer for that is to break off and at least have our own Senators, taking our Congressmen with us.
I searched using dogpile and here’s what I found:

It was the Sean Connery character, Jimmy Malone, in “The Untouchables” (1987). When the gangsters came to his apartment to whack him, he said to the guy who broke in “Just like a wop to bring a knife to a gun fight”. Little did he know, he was being set up and after he chased the man out of the apartment, he was gunned down by a man waiting outside with a machine gun.

Just like everyone thinks the whole of NYS is a suburb of NYC.
That said, nobody makes that mistake about weather, although my brother and I did meet a girl out west one year who thought that Buffalo was snowy, even in the summer.
*sigh*
Meteorologists don’t. Not the ones at the NWS at any rate.
I haven’t met one yet who believes in global warming.
It always does if the temperatures are cold enough for snow.
We live in CNY where we see both nor’easter snow and lake effect. There’s a huge difference in the quality of the snow.
While you can’t beat lake effect for heavy snowfall amounts (whiteouts), it’s light and fluffy as a feather.
Nor’easter snow sucks. It’s just about shoveling half melted slop, like shoveling out the end of your driveway where the plows have gone by, for the whole driveway.
Yup! Eggs Ackley the same here. I’m in the secondary snow belt, but also always get the Lake Effect Snow. It comes up the Cuyahoga Valley and slams us!
We used to live much closer to Lake Ontario in the snowbelt north of Syracuse.
Every couple years, the winds would be just right for us to get 5 inches an hour (but standard for the Tug Hill. Adams Center gets that as a matter of course).
A few hours of that and you were BURIED. Talk about not being able to see anything. You could actually watch it accumulate on the outside window ledges and railings on the porches.
But it’s a piece of cake to drive through. Not the nor’easter stuff. I make sure that we’re well stocked and battened down when the NWS starts talking those things. And you usually really get about 5 days notice.
Exactly. Ever notice how TV news focuses on NYC half the time?

Lol. I have been to Buffalo, in the Summer months, and it was anything but snowy. I have also driven through NYS and have seen the beautiful countryside. It is just that there are so many who made derisive comments about California, yet have never set foot in the state and believe it to be all palm trees and beaches without a clue that we have a 14,000 foot mountain range here, higher than the Rockies, that's gets heavier snowfalls than just about anywhere else in the entire U.S.A. To my surprise, I have discovered that many people in the big cities and along the coast of California are also unaware of this.
We have many glaciers here. A couple of Summers ago, I had a woman ask me what the "white stuff" was around the mountain peaks. She thought it might be chalk. I told her it was snow. "In Summer?" she replied.
Do any of you know why all flights cancelled from Indianapolis, Indiana? My Sister just called and was on her way back to Az. and they have cancelled all flight out.
