This ain't snow. I spent four years in Cleveland and this ain't snow. This is, like, Cleveland's way of saying Y HALO THAR, LATE AUTUMN. Sheesh.

Yes, those of us who've been exposed to lake-effect snow know what bad-ass snow looks like. :/

My freshling year at college, there was a phone call to Dad the morning after the first big snowstorm. It sounded like this:

ME: Hi, Dad?
DAD: Hi, Cam. What's up?
ME: It's the last place on Earth out there.
DAD: What?
ME: The front cover of Mr. Levis' book! The one he loaned you, about the Scott and Shackleton expeditions? The one that's got the guy who fell down in an Antarctic snowstorm on the cover? IT LOOKS LIKE THAT.

Okay, it wasn't actually that bad, but that was my first Lake Erie snowstorm and I kinda went o__O at the sight at the time.

I lived for three years in Caribou, Maine. When I moved there, I was warned not to let my kids out to play after they plowed the streets because they could climb up the piles of plowed snow and touch the power lines. (and they could have.)

And then there was the day I went out to go to work and opened my garage door to a solid wall of snow that had drifted down from the roof.

Yeah, by the time I left Charlottetown, PEI in April the snow banks were a few feet over my head. :( Of course, I'm not that tall, but still.

...on an entirely different note, this (http://warren-ellis.livejournal.com/81969.html) (considering it was right after your entry on my friend's list) broke my head.

I was at college in Buffalo, NY during the ice storm of '91.

Average of four feet of snow in the yard, six to ten feet on the sides of the roads where the plows had been by.

Slogged through it to deliver a paper on time despite classes being cancelled for the day.

We just got over a foot and a half of snow in the last day. My car...is now a snow submarine.

I grew up in NYC, and even by my standards this (what NYC got) is no big deal.

My roomie's car is buried completely. Mine was up to the doors and over the back bumper this morning, and I drive a high-riding Elantra.

Even so, I'm very very thankful I'm not in Oswego right now.

I'd like you guys to know that your snowstorm made the Finnish news. OK; part of it was so we could snigger a bit, but well, it did impress us. However, the snowfall in the D.C. area that shut down everything there was cause for serious smugness on the part of the 'Be Prepared' Finns. I tried to explain that it doesn't make sense to keep a huge fleet of snowplows and lorries for removing snow, or to buy snowtires, when you only get one serious storm every few year - well, they were still smug. Only a month until the Equinox! Enjoy Carnevale!
