Dan Gould Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Pim said: Yeah and on the Dutch news as well as the place hit worst. But those temperatures aren’t very exceptional for that area are they? I have taught geography for a while and I am pretty sure Buffalo has a continental climate where it could become pretty cold during winter time. Was thinking about Chuck and the city of Buffalo - the Times mostly covered how bad it is in their wrap up. Pim, I think Buffalo is most famous for "lake-effect snow" in winter as weather systems move west to east, they are situated at the eastern end of Lake Erie, and the water feeds the system producing sometimes shocking accumulations. This storm though is really off the charts. Here outside of Tampa, we got the same low temperature as last night but the pipes have frozen, no doubt because the cold sank deeper, and partly, perhaps, aided by the lack of much of a warm up (high of 45 yesterday). Mostly though my wife didn't run the faucets at all before she went to bed, so I hope that was not an extremely costly mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My geographical knowledge didn’t reach that far (I am teaching social studies and philosophy after all ) anyway hope everyone is going to be okay over there! It’s getting warmer coming days right? here it’s the typical dull grey 7 degrees Celsius Dutch winter weather…. I’m dreaming of a white….

northwood Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 A South Korean tour group was stuck outside a house near Buffalo, so they spent the weekend with the homeowners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 I wish all of you get over this without harm. We had a week of freezing here in mid-December but this was nothing compared to what you experience. Now it has 10 degrees centigrade day and night and the rain washed away what liittle snow there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 We are prohibited from driving and the emergency vehicles can't get through. Streets might be cleared in 2 days. Just watched some silly citizen with a vehicle w/blade try to go down our street. Big FAIL. He backed out and went home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nelson Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 When I walked the driveway at 8:15 to get the paper it was 16-degrees and I Phrygian my ass. When it gets up to 32, I'll celebrate with a gin and pentatonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
