Oh sure! Rub it in, Wayne! Every winter, the local weather man seems to take great pride in reporting that the Southern and Eastern shores of the Great Lakes is only one of 4 places on Earth that has lake effect snow. My urge to reach through the screen and strangle him is almost irresistible. I can only remember 2 of the other 3, the Great Salt Lake area, and Lake Baikal in Russia.

Yesterday, the ice on the ground was softening. Today's high will be 0, the wind chill is -24. Wind gusts up to 45 mph. Just another average spring day in the frozen wasteland.

So about that treelawn thing, is it the strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk that sometimes has trees planted in it?

There is an asterisk on Jack's map indicating 207" per year of snow. This is caused by some really intense lake effect snow off Lake Ontario. At times, they have seen 3"-5" per hour. In this general area is a little place named Tug Hill (No, not named after Mr. Faith Hill ).
Anyhow, there are a couple of bars that cater specifically to snow mobilers and the occasional hearty cross-country skier and/or snow shoe-er. These are the ONLY ways to reach these places in the winter and there are NO roads to get there in the summer. They are provisioned by snow mobile as well.
Tug Hill has not yet made my list of "1,000 Favorite Places I'd Like To Be". I don't believe it ever will. I know a bunch of you lunatics like to slide down steep snowy hills, but this makes little sense to me.

i figure since this is becoming our 'Axiom Weather Page', i just have to mention this.
ITS SNOWING!!! no lie, i $hit you not.. its very light, and it is REALLY trying to stick. we had a thunder storm move through late last night, which is weird, cause it rarely ever thunders this late in the year. anyway, i guess the moisture in tha air, along with dropping temps, has caused our white winter surprise. dont know how long its gonna last, but it sure is pretty to look at.
