ps. The Mrs. wanted to take a stroll outside (see pic). She put all her snowmobile gear on and made it about twenty feet before she called it quits. It takes quite a bit of energy just to walk through high snowfall.

That 1-90 underpass picture was taken in Cheektowaga, the Buffalo suburb I was raised in yesterday afternoon still early in the storm, just a few miles from the airport. Talked to my brother a few minutes ago. It has stopped snowing for a short while, another wave of storm is predicted starting in a few hours with another 3-5 feet of snowfall. He says he cannot see the tops of his garage windows which are 5' off the ground. They are still under a travel ban. Construction zoning has special specs for roofs to withstand large snow loads. The flat roofed commercial buildings are mostly what have problems with snow weight.

Hey Wally,
I hope your beautiful red truck isn't under one of those snowpiles!
My wife would cut off vital parts if I made her park out in the snow while my F1 sat warmly in the garage! She doesn't appear to be smiling in that pic - be careful over there Wally. Sleep on your stomach.

(It hasn't been all warm sunny down here - had to cover the faucets. That's what we do here in winter & rush out & buy up all the canned goods & bread. In case we get hit with a snowmageddon (not happening)).
