See the unbelievable pictures at the url above...!

We are in the big dump zone south of the city, most of Buffalo is untouched.
Welcome to the trib. weather.
I am thankful for heat, power, shovels, snowblowers and getting fuel on monday before waking up to snomageddon.

Hi mike t,

Sorry to hear that youre in that mess too. Well it's coming our way here in Toronto, Canada. I'm not looking forward to it, since my husband has had a major heart attack and triple bypass surgery almost 10 years ago. He has a snowblower, and gets some help from the neighbors next door when they are able.

Speaking of snowmageddon, I believe we had ours last year when that Polar vortex came through, power shut down for a few weeks for some people, some people died as well.
There was no heat, power, ice quakes, shaking homes, and snow galore. I hope and pray we won't go through the same, as I can't last longer that 3 days without heat, like we did last year, my husband didn't want to leave and I ended up with a bad cold. Thank God, our Son came down to get us, and we stayed at his home, until our power came back on, so that we could have heat. Praying to God we don't go through it again, it's hard on the elderly, babies and on children, as well on those who are not well or have limited mobility,which includes myself.

Seen the 6 o'clock news report, and saw all that snow in the Buffalo area. Did you see the link I posted above with the pictures? Especially, the one where the dog wants to go out, and the snow is piled up to the top of the glass door, trapping everyone inside. Poor dog, poor people...

Stay warm and safe; praying for you out there in that snowmageddon area, send some prayers our way; it's coming!!!!

BY THE WAY THE NEWS REPORTER STATED THAT IN THAT PAST 3 DAYS THIS REGION WAS BOMBARDED BY AS MUCH SNOW, AS THEY GET FOR A WHOLE YEAR! YIKES!!!

God Bless,

Valerie

Epic snowstorm on track to set a record in Buffalo

Buffalo's first snowstorm of the season could give the area a year's worth of snow — around 8 feet — in just three days. More than 5 feet of snow was already on the ground Wednesday, and another round of lake-effect snow is forecast to bring an additional 3 feet of snow to the Buffalo area on Thursday and Friday. The average snowfall for an entire year: 93.6 inches, or close to 8 feet.

The people of Buffalo are sure having it rough! We had a blanket of snow ourselves earlier this week, but nothing like what they're having up in the north.

There have been lots of stories of people helping others.
My 2 grown kids and grand daughter followed a path (some guys cleared) over to Seneca Street where there is a hot dog place open.
Amy gave some money to a purchaser who was short and the worker told of a similar thing just before.
On the other hand, only in South Buffalo would a potato chip truck be looted after it was stuck in the snow.

We were praying for a break yesterday, when a couple more feet was being predicated. Only a foot fell last night and it is clear out now.

Jeremy and I were up on our roof yesterday shoveling and when I came down, he lingered, wanting to jump into the snow.
I reminded him that a musician needs all his body parts to function.
But he did a backward swan dive leap from about 17 feet up
(kids will be kids- even at 32). He was a sight to see.
The whoosh of snow and he looking like the abominable Snow man was hilarious.

I do see God's hand in Amy and Gabby staying here Monday night, me having gotten 5 gallons of fuel for the snowbowers that day.

Thanks for the prayers!
Still looking for the Heavenly Bridegroom........

Some snow tips-
Wearing thin latex or nitride gloves under regular gloves helps keep hands warm longer.

Silicone spray on snowblowers snow moving parts retards clogging.
The wet snow close to the ground will stick and clog a blower.
Set the shoes in the lowest position to raise the rotating parts up away from wet ground snow.

Rubber bands around pant cuffs keep snow out of socks and ankles.

Take minute breaks when shoveling.

Well, you're all more than welcome to come down here to beaufiful sunny Arizona, for which our temps stay well in the low-to-mid 70s.

Maranatha!
Tammy
