Re: Snow city USA!
I lived there from '72 to 83. I saw more snow back then than I have in the 30 years since. We used snowmobiles to pick up nurses to get them to work at St. Vincents hospital when I worked for Emergycare.
I don't miss it. We had 1-2 inches this morning and 4 schools in Upper Bucks cancelled or had delays. What wusses.

Re: Snow city USA!
I get sick of all the whinny bastards that live south of I-90 and complain about "winter". I grew up in Erie and had to walk to school in weather that closes most schools here down in the Burgh.

Re: Snow city USA!
It's all going to turn ugly this weekend as a warm front zooms up from the south and temps will rise well into the 50's. Forecast is for 57 on Sunday. So much for having a White Christmas.

Re: Snow city USA!
I'm just as happy to see the snow as to see it go. I really don't mind it, there's still outdoor stuff I love doing that can only be done with snow.
It's the freeze/thaw crap that makes it miserable...and the people who just freak out over it.

I lived there till I was 10, and visited often after that. A friend and I once rode our bikes across the bay. Had some good snow forts too.

Re: Snow city USA!
.
The snow is nothing compared to places like Steamboat Springs, Co. They already have 112 inches. Having 40 FEET a season is not unusual.
I grew up in Erie. We had one snow day in my 12 years of education, and that was in 1956 when we got about 48 inches in 4 days. We were able to walk to school, but couldn't get in because the snow was too high around the school. We still went to school because we had never even heard the term "snow day".
When I moved to Va. with my family in 1979, the first snowstorm of 6" closed schools for a week.
