Syrmax Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've seen some boring, sh*tty winters before and this one is starting to rival the worst ones of the past 20 years. Unless you're in places that receive lake effect snow. With all the hype surrounding this winter, you just knew it would underperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current snow depth is 20-25 inches on average. Lots of blowing and drifting. Enjoy my friend. Wish I was there. I spent several winters in my youth in Western NY. Shuffling between Batavia and Hamburg, as we raced horses out there. This was approx 1973 to 1978. Anyway, back on topic...I am listening to the Thruway State Police online and the Thruway is closed.
