OH GOD......... I have to post this rant.
The Main Stream Media is making a big deal out of Up-state NY getting snow.
Freaking hell. Look at the sentence. "Up-State NY" "Snow" You think?
It's freaking late November and there is a snow storm in Up-State NY. Oh my god. Has this not EVER happened before?
I have to call out "Dumb-ass" on this one. Either it is me or the media. I'll give you a guess as to who this is pointed at.
Look. You live in Up-State NY and get a snow storm, you do what you have always done. Get the bloody snowmobile out.
So now that I am done ranting, I want to remind everyone the I have 56 acres of land up there for sale with an asking price of $52k. If you know anyone that might want to buy the property. Let me know.
I will pay a finders fee of $1000 to anyone that finds me a buyer.
Thanks all

Funny stuff Gadget :thumbsUp:
We are located about 150 miles just south of Syracuse, NY. just across the NY/PA border. We have seen minimal snow since Buffalo, Batavia, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown and communities around these city's have been getting dumped on.
Now these communities are getting dumped on because Lakes Erie and Ontario have not frozen over yet and the area was hit with cold temps. Once the Lakes freeze over then snow will come in normal amounts for the region. I forget what year it was (Late 90's early '00's) the same thing happened.
I have several friends who live in that neck of the woods and they are all in good spirits and having a pre-Thanksgiving forced vacation. They only thing they are worried about is the electric going out. I am certainly worried about that for them and for any "shut-ins", e.g. elderly & handicapped folks that may have minimal food.
Now I just saw on wunderground.com that we will all be experiencing warm weather starting Sunday and rain. This will cause a much more sever situation then the actual snow today as it will melt. Can you say flooding? Can you say power outages?
So there you go. ;)

This isn't exactly typical snowfall for the area, Gadget.

This is the most exiting time of the year for weather forecasters and if they sell that fear the ratings will guarantee their jobs.

Hey Hey we started discussion the severe winter weather going on up there in yankee territory. It could be one of those Polar Vortex thingamabobs.
I never heard of those prior to the Global Warming thing so I thought it good to note in the discussion. Besides it was a bit funny-- to me anyway.
OK, I shall go stand in the corner for an hour. Fair warning, I do not write I was a bad boy on the global warming thing-- 100 times as I have been told in the past to go do.

I once had to write " Chicle mastication resembles a bovine characteristic" 1,000 times because I chewed gum in class. I wonder why I remember that??????????????
