Lots of rain here today but may go up to 79F later, so no chance of ice storms for us.

A good start of the week to all.

Yep, we are supposed to get hit with snow but I haven't heard ice yet. If you talk to someone from the Tug Hill area, they tell you, it's just another Winter. Being on the East Coast of Lake Ontario always makes it the snowiest place in the lower 48. I heard one local weather guy say "They got 122 inches. That close to 10 feet".

While Tug Hill is about an hour from here, we are still sitting with only about 2 feet but with much more on the way. We are about 15 minutes from the big Lake Effect Snow. It's strange that we have 2 feet and 15 minutes from here has about 8 feet.

Greenie and I always talk about this. Just because of a blizzard or two, everyone thinks Buffalo gets a lot of snow. But really, nothing compares to Tug Hill

I used to work there. And I always wished I took a picture of a sign with snow almost covering it saying, "Mexico --> and Phoenix <--" They are just two small towns in that region but a cool looking sign anyway.

Oh yeah, we have a bad rep. No one believes me when I say that Syracuse gets more snow than Rochester & Rochester gets more snow than Buffalo.

But, Rochester and Syracuse don't football teams that have been on national TV when a lake effect storm was raging.
