... 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...

:like:

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...)

The post in the wrong thread that was here has been incorporated into this post in the right thread.

Wrong thread.

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

Pooh. I clicked the wrong thread and then i didn't notice.

I'll move it when i get to the computer.

And some wonder why I moved 1000 miles south.

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!

Please tell me you aren't in far-east Texas.

A white carpet would seem more appropriate, I think.

Nah, this lake ain't deep. There are trees stickin' up outta the water in the middle of it.

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.

Wow.

(Yes - that Susan Cowsill. Oddly, we have seem to mutual acquaintances in NOLa - i keep meaning to check in with Fred and see if i can get an introduction.)

I think, here in Houston, we have our yearly dose fully outfitted...
