O/T: SOS Different Day

"Lake Effect Snow", AKA: "Lake Erie Snow Machine" has struck again.

The folks in upstate New York get hit first time this year.

Parts of the Thruway are a parking lot.

SOS, different day.

Time for some to get up on the roof and start shoveling.

Mean while, it's 72F outside my window, but the rains are coming.

I'll take it..

I exhibited some of my products at an audio show in Hammersmith, UK
and had the most incredible weather ever in The UK...in April, 1982. T-
shirt weather, blue sky, not a drop of rain for 10 days. My cohorts
tried to talk me into staying another week, but I had a commitment in
Toronto so I couldn't. When I got home, the tele was showing the pile-
ups of cars on the M4 due to heavy snow.
I couldn't even get through to my friends at Cambridge (to neener
them, of course) because the telephone lines were down. This all
happened within a period of 48 hours.
There are some serious winters on record in the UK. They say that they
started driving on the wrong side of the road during one of those
storms and were too stubborn to admit they messed it all up.

George, George, George...... The physical manifestation of Global
Warming comes as white powder from the sky. (tongue firmly planted in
cheek) It is supposed to be funny...Funnneeee...repeat after me,
funnnneeee.....

The whole Global Warming hoax has been exposed as an evil attempt at
pushing us into even more tax brackets. That fat pig, Gulfstream
flying con-artist Al Gore is making millions off us by "booga-Booga-
ing" the weak minded.

If there is a warming trend, it isn't because Rob is eating too many
beans.

Ayup, My snowblowing schedule for the past few days:

Thursday - 15 hrs.
Friday - 9 hr.
Saturday - 5 hr.

Two highlifts and stream of dump trucks started clearing my street, a
small two lane residential, at about 10 PM yesterday (Friday). They
finished about 2 PM today (Saturday).

It's definitely not the most snow we've gotten but it's the wet, heavy
snow that sets like concrete.

The town of West Seneca is listed at 36". I live in South Buffalo and
although there is no offical reading they're now saying South Buffalo
was the hardest hit. The snow in my back yard before it compacted
slightly was even with the top of my 4" chain link fence.

Lew, Nova, etal,

We're originally from Jamestown, NY, and that's the reason we drag our
36' 5th wheeler to Longview, TX in the winter. Whatever happens here,
we don't have to SHOVEL IT!!!!!!! Our kids still live there, but they
say they've only had a 1 or 2" dusting so far, waiting to see if the
wind shifts.

We did get 6" last January, had to rake it off the awnings, but it was
gone the next day.

They almost cancelled the AGWK summit meetings in HopenChangen, erm, I
mean Frozenhagen for the same reason. That was the one where all the
attendees, bigwigs in the GW scam, came to the summit in LIMOUSINES. I
think the count was 1,200+ limos, 140 private jets, caviar wedges, and
one lone electric car. Hippofoockincrits.

Dimmer are those who are incapable of understanding that local weather
is the sole ingredient of which the climate of any region is composed,
and who color that warped comprehension with self-delusional, moral
superiority.
