Quote:Hey I see there are 6 ft snow falls/drifts in upper-state New York.
we are on the NORTHERN(canadian) side of lake ontario and have had only about two feet snow in total - but it's been bitterly cold during the last three weeks - lows of MINUS 20 to 25 C overnight and we haven'd made it above freezing since mid-january - and another two weeks of the same being promised .
oswego and surounding communities - about 50 miles to the SOUTH across ontario - usually get hit much harder from so-called 'lake effect snow' .
when that snow comes blowing off lake ontario it often results in whiteouts . coming back from the south in early april we've run into whiteouts on interstate-81 . there's only one sensible thing to do - pull off - find a motel - stay the night .
when we look across lake ontario to the south we can often see the dark snow-clouds billowing up over there - while we have perfect sunshine !
