Yeah, I remember when the snow in MI was deeper than I was tall! Talk about making igloos! We had a blast! I wish I could handle the cold these days as I could when I was a kid!

230,000 without power. There are travel bans, advisories, etc. Thruway is closed from Rochester to Dunkirk. (Thats a huge drive for non-WNYers.)
Some pics from 930 am.
Me, I'm sitting on my *** and sipping hot chocolate (if I can find some) LOL!
Thank you for the compliments too.

Oct 13, 2006 - BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) _ Up to two feet of snow from an extraordinary fall storm closed roads, cut power to some 230,000 customers and left this city paralyzed as officials banned driving in the region Friday.
The snow, delivered in a fury of thunder and lightning, blanketed Buffalo and surrounding areas Thursday night and early Friday. A 105-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway from Exit 46 at Rochester to Exit 59 at Dunkirk, southwest of Buffalo, was closed Friday morning because of heavy lake-effect snow.

Apart from taking really good photos, that sounds like the only reasonable thing to do at this point (look in the back of the pantry, behind the big box of salt...)
Great pocs BOB

Better you folks than us
Sure hope you get some warmer weather for a while

I asked her to do bikini pics in the snow.....now my arm hurts for some strange reason. LOL
No likely snow in October is another reason why I live in the south!
Thank god I live in lovely sunny california. Though when I go to visit my parents around the holidays I may have to face that evil stuff.
Stay safe Bob.
Stay safe Bob.
The pics are absolutely beautiful. I love pictures of snow storms and the aftermath with the trees all bent and broken, especially if I do not have to live amoungst it.

In Winnipeg we just leave for work 15 mins early when we get that much snow overnight

How is it so light at that time of the morning?
It also "appears" a lot lighter at night with a lot of snow and the same level of star / moon light. All the white stuff reflects light, so even when it's dark there can be a lot of light at times.

Now there are some tough, strong willed individuals!

You'd better be tough if you live in the Canadian interior!

Winnipeg (43.5") gets about half the average annual snowfall that Buffalo gets (91.8"). I thought that Buffalo got more than my area (97.9"), but I was wrong, and I would have never guessed that Flagstaff, AZ averages even more snow (100.3").
