I'd hate to be living where there is that much snow on the ground already... Must be a pain in the @#% to start her up in the below freezing temps. I know mine was... And even in the heat, it took her about 15 mins to warm up.

Our "Lake Effect" snow is killer! :pale 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.... :pale
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. :pale
If we get a large accumulation AND the strong and
steady winds.... its all over for me..... send in the
Saint Bernards... :lol: :lol:

The Great White North is starting to look a lot whiter and a lot less great. It's windy to start with out where we live, and this storm's burying our freshly leveled dooryard. Supposed to keep snowing for a couple more days... already got my Crapalier stuck trying to back up in, when I got it out I said :censored it and parked closer to the house. Fargo's still up on blocks in the field with the front diff cover off and the carrier still stuck in the housing... guess I won't be getting that out...:banghead

Missouri regularly gets snow. It's not that far south. I don't have any in central Iowa yet but northern Iowa has already gotten hit with quite a bit.

I have added Tucson & McAllen, Texas to my google cities that I track the weather in. One of these days I am going to say "to hell with Wichita Falls wheel of weather" and move to a more stable environment.
