A year's worth of snow already...
... in upstate NY.
Three feet already, another lake effect storm headed in. Online reports say they've already got a full year's worth of snow. There's gonna be flooding come spring.
A few pictures i just collected online:
That fence ^ you can barely see? It's four feet tall.

I think we've hit our yearly average here in Houston already, too...

Unfortunately, upstate NY may not wait until spring for flooding--not if it hits 60 this week. (It seems, according to NOAA, that the most that can be expected is the 40s, which is still bad enough, what with feet of snow melting...)

How do you know? Maybe they were snowed-in, and can't come out, so they spend their time as best they can...jwhouk wrote:Wrong thread.

Re: A year's worth of snow already...
My son and I miss snow, and we have been praying we get even a small sprinkling of it, no, scratch that, we want a freaking it-never-ever-happens-here blizzard eleventybillion feet high!
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Wednesday night, Amarillo got 12" of snow... most of it has melted off in 24 hours. Still some slick spots on Saturday. That's about 70% of our annual average (17.9").
Assuming average snowfall across the entire city's 90-square-mile area is nine inches, if you could collect all of the snow in the Amarillo city limits and move it to a city block, the resulting tower would be taller than any structure in town.
