OT: Live Up North? Snow?

Sounds like the storm is a bust for central NJ!

:)

Nothing down by me but wind

That route should be completely snow free, actually - the snows are only ENE of Lakes Erie and Ontario, which does not include the path to Rochester.

Getting pretty close to Rochester.. from a different lake...

True right now, but he was asking about traveling on Saturday, when that whole route ought to not have any snow falling with good road conditions.

How does the roof not collapse and how do you get it off? I got a snow rake for my roof but no way it could handle that job

A report of 77" from Orchard Park, where the Bills play, east of Lake Erie and 72" from Natural Bridge, near Watertown (east of Lake Ontario), which also got 57", but only 13" in downtown Buffalo, about 9 miles north of Orchard Park. Insane snowfall amounts, as well as insane snowfall gradients. Another 6-10" coming for Buffalo and 3-6" in Orchard Park today/tonight, as the event winds down.

Appears you were correct.. still lake effect snows in area.. but shifted north and away from the highways and doesn't seem to have reached Rochester proper. Niagara Falls getting pounded...

Niagara Falls?.. slowly I turned...

Lake Effect snow is usually very dry & fluffy, so it is fairly light. And those old houses were built to withstand heavy snowfalls & roof loads. If they weren't, their roofs would have caved in decades ago.
