That was kind of a shock for mid November but there it is and the weather service has stated that they do not know exactly where the snow bands will take place. They just know they are coming this week starting Thursday.
Now at first I was thinking this was going to be one of those south of the city snowbelt lake effect storms that generally bypass the city and especially the northern sections but the warnings are now saying that the heavy snow will fall all over the city starting tonight and going through the next few days.
We have plans to go the the Buffalo Philharmonic on Friday night to see Yo Yo Ma perform after dinner at Trattoria Aroma with friends. I guess we'll see about that.
A CNN headline today proclaims "Feet of snow is expected in western New York as prolonged 'crippling' lake effect snow begins tonight".
I went out to the shed and brought out the snow blower, put some gas in it and started it up to make sure it would be ready if needed. I then put away the backyard lawn furniture that was still our and put it away in the shed. Then I cleaned up some of he leaves along the side of the house so we wouldn't have to walk on them under the snow if it comes to that. A couple of days ago I sealed the windows with weather caulk so that's done. Then I went into the basement and brought up the snow shovels and put them in a handy place. OK, we're ready. Filled up the birdfeeder with seed too.
Update 11/16: Now they are saying several feet of snow in the city of Buffalo. The snow began last night south of the city and they got about a foot already. The snow here will begin later tonight and go for the next few days.
The Yo Yo Ma concert we were planning to attend Friday night has been rescheduled for early May. The Bills game on Sunday was moved to Detroit.
