Our "Lake Effect" snow is killer!

As long as
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario remain unfrozen, we'll
get wicked storms off of them. Quite often, the
snow arrives in "bands"..... varying in width and
length. The storm that hit a couple of days ago
was a narrow band..... a matter of a few miles.
Its length stretched a couple three counties long.
Where I live, we received a general snowfall. It
was not produced by the same front that crippled
the I-90 and I-190 Thruways.
I'm waiting for the first lake effect storm to come
roaring off of Lake Ontario from the northeast....
These are the ones that bury our area. We do get
some lake effect storms from Lake Erie.... but most
often, those storms stay just a little south of us.
All it takes to ruin my days is a few inches of snowfall
followed by hours [or days] of steady winds.
If we get a large accumulation AND the strong and
steady winds.... its all over for me..... send in the
Saint Bernards...
