  Fort Meyers Beach looks like it's been wiped off the map almost completely.  Sad.

 

From what my mom told me, the son of her childhood friend HAD a very nice home in Ft Meyers.

  Probably not news for those living in the Buffalo area but good to know for out of towners is a major snow event is unfolding over the next few days.  The most intense areas may see in excess of 36" inches of snow.  Travel may be impacted from Batavia to Ripley on I-90 and US20.  Plan accordingly and allow plenty of distance from your vehicle to the next should visibility dip.  Honestly, I wish I had a snowmobile to take up there.  My deceased BIL spoke of a nice trail system north of Buffalo and I know Chautauqua County has trails as well.  Stay safe.

It's here, Snowpocalypse!

I gotta call and see how things are going. According to my newsfeed, it is Armageddon. Oh, and it is a shame football isn't being played during Armageddon.

I told my son to send me video of the dog in the snow.

 

Until he can, these are good images from Jon Scott on twitter (no, not my son):

32" since 11 pm last night in Orchard Park

There is a reason more people live north of the city than south of Buffalo. We will see if the band drifts northward.

I remember back in 2014 looking down Transit road and seeing something similar. That was the year 7 feet fell down in Hamburg, and I had dry leaves in my backyard. I had messages on Twitter and Facebook "are you ok!?" and I was like "huh." I had to take photos to convince people that north of Buffalo, there wasn't any snow (there was very little in north Buffalo, but south Buffalo was slammed). 

Today's snow wall:

Used to have a friend who lived next to a largish pond, when every time he got any snow he called it "lake effect' from the pond.  Then I showed him pictures like this.

 

Lake effect bands are wild.

What’s “potentially sensitive” about that photo?

Grew up in the Snow Belt.  Don't miss it at all.

 

Right now we live in a sort of anti-snow belt.  We typically get way less snow than surrounding areas.  So, when we get hammered, everybody else is pretty much ####ed.

Extreme weather means global warming, which upsets progressives.
