Things have been getting a little out of hand in my home area. We’re used to a lot of snow, but this is just plain silly.

If you lived here, you’d have no choice! There is a travel ban in place. They are about to declare it all a federal disaster. No one can go anywhere. Some areas have over 6′ of snow since yesterday.

November 19, 2014 at 6:14 pm #922030OMG, Jennifer! We all feel for you here in Toronto – let’s be honest, we’re glad it didn’t come our way!
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

Love baby kirins, safari poads, mini keepers, and anything BLUE, BLUE, and, oh yes, BLUE.
November 19, 2014 at 9:07 pm #922034Looks like my winter last year! I live in Canada, though, hehe. And it’s certainly not that bad here yet!
Winter did come on really suddenly this year, though…
November 19, 2014 at 10:25 pm #922038I am perhaps odd in saying that I seriously wouldn’t mind seeing that much snow. At least once.

Excellent!
November 19, 2014 at 10:29 pm #922040That is a lot of snow! Where is that? We have had a few inches in Calgary but luckily not that much! I hope they are able to clear it or do something with it!
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
November 19, 2014 at 10:29 pm #922041Could California borrow a little of that snow? Where I live, snow is but an urban legend… 😉

November 20, 2014 at 12:27 am #922048Wow. We do get snow like that here in Colorado from time to time during “Albuquerque Lows”. The last major one like this we had happened back in October 2006 I believe. It happened just before the end of the fiscal year, so the city told us that they didn’t have the money to pay for plowing anything but the major roads and that they’d dig us out the next fiscal year…
November 20, 2014 at 3:57 am #922052How awful! I heard it was suppose to be a pretty bad Winter as predicted by the Farmer’s Almanac- something I never put too much consideration into. But if it’s this bad this early on for you, I dread what more might be coming.
November 20, 2014 at 4:09 pm #922063It’s just crazy! More than a year’s worth of snow from one lake effect snow storm. Isn’t geoengineering great?
November 20, 2014 at 4:18 pm #922064This is in the Greater Buffalo Area. I live just south of the worst of it. Some areas just north of me are topping almost 7 feet of snow since Tuesday, with more on the way today!
We are used to snow but this much this fast is devastating. Sadly, it is killing people. Eight dead so far.
Most unfortunately, next week is warm and rain, and all this snow will melt and have to go somewhere. We are looking at bad flooding. In some areas that have the most snow, the melted wet heavy snow will be approximately like getting 10-15 inches of rain, all at once (depending on the rate of melt).

My art: featherdust.comNovember 20, 2014 at 5:01 pm #922065My friend in Grand Island is missing the majority of this snow, which is what fascinates me so much about lake effect snow. You could be getting nailed with feet of snow and your neighbor a mile down the road is getting just a dusting. We got a little lake effect where I am, but I’m far enough east and at just the right angle to Lake Ontario, that we usually don’t get much ever from the lake effect.
This is like the snows they get up in Labrador sometimes (which is why some homes there have a door on the 2nd floor, so you can walk out onto the top of the snow in such cases).
