    This may explain why woolly mammoths were found with still fresh food in their stomachs: quick-frozen in giant snowstorms. At least Buffalo still has its electricity working.

    Buffalo is usually #1 in snow accumulation, but when I lived in Michigan, we were no slouches when it came to snow. I remember one time, backing my little AMC sedan down our driveway in a snowstorm and having it completely disappear at the bottom. After digging my way out, I decided to stay home that day.

      I hope you're talking about the UP... because I hear people here near Detroit talk about "lake effect snow" and I just laugh... being from the East side of Cleveland originally :)

      Grand Rapids, yeah they see it, but nothing like Cleveland, Erie, and especially Buffalo. And then there's the UP... it doesn't just snow a lot there, so much as "it never melts until August" :)

        A Detroit suburb.
        I have friends who live in the UP. I am looking at a several year old photo of their house in which all you can see is the top of the chimney sticking out of the snow. I'm staying in Florida, thank you very much.

        I grew up just outside Ashtabula. The last year I lived there was 1977. That year we went to school with 1" flakes falling but they would not close the school till noon so they would get paid for that day... I finally got home at 7:00 PM without my Vega. The gas was freezing in the carb. There were also 8 foot snow drifts across the road. The only way I got home was a guy that I did not know picked us up in his 4x4 pickup with a plow on the front. I feel sorry for them but the snow is why I have not lived there since 1977.

    I grew up not far from there. When they talk about the Blizzard of 77, I remember shoveling it. And I have cousins right in the area that is getting socked. They're fine. They're over at their neighbor's drinking wine and having their kids play out in the snow, because what else is there to do?

    My wife grew up in Kenoza Lake NY near the Scranton boarder and said that this type of weather was normal in the 60's and seventies. They would have 4-5 feet of snow all the time. That was why everyone had a snowmobile...
