[Fredslist] Buffalo Snow

[Paul Napolitano]

Hey Gerry,

I went to school, and lived in Buffalo a few years afterwards, in the mid 80s. I remember walking down the sidewalk and tripping over something that turned out to be the top of a parking meter. So having the snow "cleared" is all a matter of opinion… ;) But I loved the city and I am still one of the Buffalo Bills faithful!

What an insult to Buffalo!  We don't even count snow accumulation until at least a foot has fallen, and even then, it's hard to get an accurate measurement because the snow crews remove it so fast, the kids barely have enough time to build a snowman.  When I first moved to NYC ten years ago from Buffalo, I thought I'd landed in Miami Beach by mistake.  True Fact:  In the thirty years I lived in Buffalo (1974-2004), I only recall five major storms that shut down the city for more than a day (the blizzard of '77 (during which hurricane winds turned a lake effect storm into a nightmare with drifts over 20 feet high, the '85 storm that hit the whole NE gave us 4 feet to clear (in 1 day…I flew to NYC and the same storm dropped half the snow and it crippled the city for a week), the '93 storm of the century that hit most of the Eastern half of the U.S., the Thanksgiving Storm of 2000 where snow fell at a rate of 4-6"an hour until 3 feet had fallen (it was all gone in a day) and the 7 foot storm of 2001 (that's right…7 FEET OF SNOW).  That was the whitest christmas in history, but alas, all the snow had been cleared within two days.
