    Upsate New York. 8-12 feet of snow from one storm

    I used to live near here. This is amazing. They are so nonchalant.

    Upstate New York, socked with almost 8 feet of snow this week, may get as much as 4 more feet in the next three days as lake-effect snow continues to bury the region.

    The unrelenting snowfall is ``certainly a rare event but it's by no means historic,'' weather service forecaster Jon Hitchcock said in a telephone interview.

    State Emergency Management Office spokesman Dennis Michalski said "This is really testing the capacity of local and state government.''

        I can well imagine how much snow that is.

        But here in Winnipeg we don't get nearly that much... usually. We average maybe 3-6 feet spread out over the entire winter, with the odd really huge storm every 5 years or so.... it's our low temperatures that are the worst.

        I can only recall a few instances... the blizzard of '66, one in the mid-70's, and another huge one in '86, where the snowdrifts were massive like that.

        8 feet in one storm is crazy. No point in shovelling out your car, no place to drive to.

          We would all just disappear. Except for really tall basketball players.

              I know a few people up there. Crazy amounts of snow! But like you said they are all taking it in stride.

                    It isn't really a snow storm in the traditional sense. There is no need for a storm system, but rather just a major difference between the temp of water compared to the air temp. Add a slight breeze, and the effect is actually quite similar to snow guns on a ski hill.

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_effect_snow

                    If the weather stays cold (and it is forecast to do so for a few more days yet) this pattern can continue for a long, long time.

                              I got stuck in Buffalo during one of their huge lake effect snow storm things a bunch of years ago and that's the last time I ventured upstate during the winter time, lol.

                                  I lived in Syracuse for 5 years and do not miss it one bit and that's before even thinking of how much I hated all that snow.
