Storm`s End

The November Lake Effect Storm has ended. Well, at least for the city of Buffalo. It's nice and sunny today but windy and cold. 20 degrees right now. There is still some snow coming off the lake down south of the city beyond Erie County and Lake Ontario is still sending snow into northern New York State but we are done. Now it's time to finish the clean up.

Yesterday I was running our snowblower. It was tough work with this heavy wet snow with a layer of ice under it. The spout tube kept getting clogged up which was the first time that ever happened. I needed a screw driver to clear it out every couple of minutes. I got a lot done but left most of the driveway for the next round today. Shoveling this snow was heavy work.

The snow we got over the past couple of days was nothing like what was happening in other nearby communities that got over six feet of snow and of course the media was telling the world that it was Buffalo getting slammed with the snow.

Last night we were supposed to get slammed again as the snow bands moved from the northtowns over the city to the southtowns but the bands didn't linger over the city. We had a couple of hours of heavy snow and then it was gone. Moved on. So we got a couple of more inches. Other areas got a couple of more feet.
