Stunning Photos Of Record Snow Covering Upstate New York: 100 Total Inches Of Snow Expected
As previously reported, the anticipated Polar Vortex 2.0 has struck, pushing temperatures in all 50 states to below freezing, while heavy snow prompted a state of emergency in western New York and contributed to the deaths of four people. According to Reuters, it was the coldest November morning across the country since 1976, according to Weather Bell Analytics, a meteorologist consulting firm. It remains to be seen how many GDP percentage points were wiped out as a result, unless of course, this time it will be different from last winter. Typically, such cold is not seen until late December through February.
But it was the situation in upstate New York, especially around Buffalo and parts of Erie County, where things got most dire and where 60 inches (1.5 m) of snow accumulated, with more falling, said Steven Welch of the National Weather Service near Buffalo. Snow fell at a rate of up to five inches (13 cm) an hour and some areas approached the U.S. record for 24-hour snowfall totals of 76 inches, or over 6 feet, the NWS said.
The record cumulative snowfall through Wednesday is shown in the image below:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for 10 counties. National Guard troops were deployed to help residents cope with the storm.
The good news, according to CBS, is that the Tuesday storm is fading away: deputy Erie County Executive Rich Tobe told reporters Wednesday morning that the storm had begun to move toward Buffalo's northern suburbs, and was expected to leave 2-5 more inches of snow in its wake. But he said the break would be short-lived for the hard-hit southern Buffalo suburbs, where forecasters were calling for more snow on Thursday, as much as three feet more, for a total of up to 100 inches over four days - a year's worth for the region. Still, there should be an 18 hour window to clear roads, he said.
And then it is all set to flip again, with the current freezing period expected to be followed by a "dramatic warming trend this weekend," raising the possibility of flooding from melting snow.
One of the main culprits for the heavy snow accumulation was the so called "lake-effect" which created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in parts south, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away.
A dramatic time-lapse of the snow-wall can be seen in the video below:
But nothing compares to the photos on the ground as shocked residents woke up to find themselves literally burried under 6 or more feet of snow. Here is a sample of what they saw on Tuesday morning courtesy of Albany Meteorologist Greg Pollak:

Damn right, if 90% of qualified doctors tell me i need an op or i'll die, I always go with the 10% who tell me not to have the op.
Lemme go ahead and correct that for reality.
Damn right, if 90% of qualified doctors, who've been caught completely fabricating their tests and only get paid to do this operation tell me i need an op or i'll die, I always go with the 10% who tell me not to have the op.
A related case in point appears to be the Statin Drug Religion, part of the broader RELIGION OF THE PILL. Your average cardiologist is stuck DEEPLY in the self-serving and bias-confirming box of controlled medical orthodoxy, little more than a drug-trafficking servant of the Big Pharma cartel, no matter that BILLION$ are being made while fucking up the health of thousands of unsuspecting patsies (heart patients) who are made to suffer needlessly from side effects and complications, sometimes losing their lives: human sacrifice to the god damned RELIGION OF THE PILL.
The the true fact of global warming, it was correct before you tried to tamper with it.
ZH commenters here are an echo chamber of bankster mafia oil company fraudsters who want to cause global warming by ensuring denial is massive enough to never take action to stop it.
You fail. The end result will only be your own extinction
Again, are you being intentionally provocative, or are you really that naive?
Did it never occur to you that all sides are controlled? Corporate lobbyists answer to the same bankster elite that controls the special interest groups paid to 'oppose' them.
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves. - V.I. Lenin
There are no sides and no controls in science - you just measure & prove/disprove.
AGW is a result of many conclusive measurements.
AntiAGW is pure politics. No science.
Holy cow. You need to get out more.
There are less than 10% of "scientists" who deny AGW. The media refuses deniers? Check Fox News or Forbes, for Christ's sake! Academic publications tend to refuse most of the Anthony Watts, Stephen Goddard or Heartland Institute stuff for the simple reason that they don't follow scientific method and their conclusions are easily debunkable through such method. That paranoid idea that AGW deniers are being chased and ostracized is typical of a troubled mind. If they were we would already have a binding international treaty on CO2 emissions. We don't. What do you make of it, huh? And which countries have fought harder against such a treaty? Take the calm pill dude...
There are less than 10% of "scientists" who deny AGW
ummm, no. But since you're claiming that '90% of allllllll scientists agree', you'll be able to go ahead and prove that easily.

http://dailycaller.com/2014/05/16/where-did-97-percent-global-warming-consensus-figure-come-from/
oops, not so much.
Incorrect - he was right.
No, it can't be debunked. No one yet has debunked even 1 shred of it. Ever.
With all due respect, you sound very young and naive to believe that "science and its method", as you put it, exist in a utopic vacuum, where human failings and fallibilities are non-existent and that everything some "scientific authority" states is reality and devoid of any political agendas. Sorry Achtung, reality is much more intricate and subtle than your black/white perception. I do admire your passion however, even though it is misguided and instigated from without. Direct your energy into something useful, rather than posting ad hominems to thoughtful people who disagree with your belief system. Let me guess, you also believe in black-holes, dark matter, dark energy and the Big Bang. There is no difference between those fantastical epicyclic conjurings than 2 elephants standing on a giant turtle holding up the flat earth. In my Universe the elephant and turtle are invisible and I have no problem coming up with mathematical formulas describing the dynamics of earth-elephant-turtle interactions which are consistent with reality. You see how that works? Science is in a crisis my friend. You would know this if you were actively engaged in honest research, rather than searching for validation of your world-view. You put your faith in the "methods" being performed honestly and accurately. That's your first mistake. Then you spout vitriol to those who disagree with your unfounded interpretation of provably nonsensical "science". Second mistake. You know how the saying goes...humans were given two ears and only one mouth for a reason...to listen twice as much as one speaks.
Here's a little anecdote to drive home my point. In the 70s, "scientific authorities" were telling us to avoid butter and other saturated fats. It was pounded into peoples' heads incessantly by the media. I had friends who would croak seeing me slather butter on everything. They would state emphatically with a patronizing tone, "You know you should be using margarine instead of that unhealthy butter, don't you?" They were literally getting angry at me for not agreeing with the 'science and its method' that was telling them to replace butter with margarine. Even when I explained the manufacturing chemical process involved in turning inedible vegetable oils into something palatable and the fact that margarine was not a properly digestible food source, they would continue parroting what they had been told by the 'authorities'. Well, what are cardiologists telling us today about butter? Oh, we're sorry we made a mistake, butter (from clean milk) is actually healthy for your heart and saturated fats are healthy for your brain development and hormonal balance, and proper absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients, etc. Oh and by-the-way stop eating margarine because its not food. The same ill-fated media campaign has raged against salt. Did you know that North Americans are sodium deprived? Maybe it has to do with the fact that everyone is treating salt in food as if it were some kind of poison, because the same scientific authorities are telling us that salt will give you high-blood pressure and related cardiovascular problems. This can't be farther from the truth. So the scientists keep getting the science wrong and yet you continue to put our faith in their 'authority'.
There are reams of similar and more deleterious examples, especially with respect to pharmaceuticals. So what makes you think they have the 'science' right on a million-variable system such as climate? Cheers.
Wow! Every now and then I encounter a lotus of wisdom that makes it worth while to wade through the swamp. Thank You.
I like the one where they tell generations to drink milk because it's good for your bones and now anyone above 65 that falls down once breaks half the bones in their bodies.
"I do admire your passion however, even though it is misguided and instigated from without. "
I don't. Passionate people are extremely annoying and often very dangerous.
Someone here never heard of Karl Popper or falsifiability in science 'tseems. And don't confuse the scientific consensus with some hyped up (mostly industry based) "facts", which specially in the food health area, tends to happen. Many times food industry will hype certain conclusions from certain studies, without actually doing due dilligence or waiting for those conclusions to be more extensively peer reviewed.
Shhhhhh! Havent you read!? Evolution is the norm, planet wide, in all things EXCEPT the climate. That's ALLLLWAYS been static and never changes. Oh wait.
Drachma
so there are no blackholes and butter is good for your heart?
So what you're saying is... thermometers are voodoo black-magick and we should not have so much faith in them.
And as it happens the numpties who are loading up on butter & saturated fats are indeed now fat fucks who can't get around except with scooters.
Hoocouldanode.
Everything we see with our own eyes is flat. Everything we will see, from birth to death is flat. It is on Faith that we believe in our fellow man, who tell us the earth is round. Most of those men work for .mil and the President himself.
At what point do you, a somewhat articulate humanoid, begin to expect better proof when your eyes deceive you every day?
If you like your global warming, you can keep your global warming.
YOU LIE!!!
If you like being stupid (and anti-scientific) you can keep being a retard.
I like the fact that people who believe things like this sign up for advocacy groups, those lists are going to come in handy one day.
Why?
Its not as if you and the other armchair warriors are actually gonna get off your fat asses, put on your XXL camo fatigues and shoulder your AR15's and actually do something, you may have the intent but you lack the capability.
Armchair ha, my wee little provocateur.. 3 mile run in snow today after clearing multiple driveways of white shit. Time to shovel snow and time to shovel shit, each in its time.
Up to your old tricks again Flakzuki??
Wow what snow!!!
What a convenient excuse for the upcoming 'disappointing' GDP numbers.

Surely there is a way you can put a tax on people who use the snow as a beer fridge.
yep they can tax it, In Maryland we tax the rain on your property- no shit they do.
ListenToTISM
No need to use snow as a beer fridge. In ND we just put warm beer in front of the radiator on the car and drove a few miles when it was below zero. The beer was ice cold in only a few minutes.
"With my pen and phone I am ceating a new Tax on Snow. Anyone with over two inches of snow will be taxed progressively on the depth in their yards. The tax will be used of offset Global Warming."
This will be blamed on fracking somehow.
That....and eCigs.
Now you know why UPers have a door on the second story of their house.
The coldest November morning since the year the US signed a treatise calling for an international ban on 'geophysical warfare'. Brrrr.....
No snow up here on the mountain, but plenty of cold this morning. While we may be at a higher elevation (3k feet) we are only a few miles from the NC border. 4 to 5 degrees both yesterday and today. At least the wind has died down.
If you are in North Georgia, please cover my apiaries. Haven't had a chance to get out there yet.
I can send my wannabe bubba brother right over. He's lived in North Georgia for nearly 20 years and the natives haven't killed him yet. He's even developed quite the southern accent and hates talking to me because I re-infect him with a Yankee twang.
Address please. :-)
You're in N Georgia too? Some fine mountains up in these parts.
Nope. I'm on the other side of NC, in southwestern VA. We like VA for its low taxes and sensible firearms laws. :-)
<Open carry bitches.>
VA has Sensible firearms laws?
I wouldn't think of driving in NJ or VA. I heard some bad stories 22 years ago where Veterans drove through and got Jail time. I know I don't keep up with the times.
BTW nice to see your pictures. Glad few have permission to post.
I know a guy that grows some big stuff in VA. I know he has military contacts, but seems they are brain washed by think tanks for the military who claim..."oh no, we need more money for the military".
Same, same, eh?
MIC screams when the retired colonels in Beltway companies don't get follow on contracts... even while drawing federal funds from other contracts!!
- Must be EXACTLY LIKE DETROIT AUTO PARTS DEALERS... with only 2 months of contracts... whining for new legislation
Priceless. Have tears running down with laughter. NC & GA speak in twang. Nestled in SC is like living in Ohio. :)
Give Obozo and friends rolled FRNs and tell them to get busy snorting...It will be cleaned up in no time.
When I was a kid we walked through snow like that to school every day, uphill, there and back.
...and you LIKED IT, and you didn't complain, and you were glad for what you had!
Lol!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo
Try and tell the young people about that today mate, and they won't believe you...
Me, too...and those Nebraska hills are bitches!
Backwards...and blindfolded
And barefoot
And we when we got back, mom had moved the trailer!!
You had feet?
Uphill both ways? Fine exercise
Fucking Molson Light & Coors Light??? DUDE, YOU'RE SCREWED!
Coors really fucked up Molson, their "golden" is no longer an ale and has that shitty coors yeast taste. Smells like cat piss... forced to buy a 12 pack a while back and gave it away to my brothers wife. Fucking awful! My garage looked like that after a blizzard in the nineties, except I didn't have a snowblower, in fact my shovel was outside where the boy left it the day before. I'd have gotten mad but i did the same thing when I was a kid for a blizzard in the seventies.
Gives a whole new meaning to "snowed in."
See ya next spring boss......or let me tele-commute.

That is out of hand.

Lake Effect can be a bitch, and the area I grew up in we never got it as bad as that area south of Buffalo. I always wondered what kind of settlers were like, "holy shit, we got 5 feet of snow last night. Let's settle here".
Maybe they thought, "holy shit, we got 5 feet of snow last night. No one will bother us here."
Can you imagine how deathly silent 5' of snow in 1700s America would be? The incredible sense of soundless claustrophobic solitude had to be rough on the early pioneer women and men. Hardy doesn't begin to describe it.
I guess we all should be silent when we face death from snow.
No purpose to getting upset, ... unless we think better that way!!!!
;-)
Freezing in all 50 states? I didn't realize it was freezing in Hawaii, the 50th state...
hell even the zings are free now?
fukkin FSA
28 degrees at 13000 feet. But its always cold up there.
It snows there every year on the highest mountains. There are several 13,000+ ft. peaks there. I was on Mauna Kea photographing Haley's Comet in March 1986 and it was all snow above 9000ft and beach weather at the shore. A very nice place to live if you can afford it. Or, at least it was then.
Today I learned... Thanks.
Drove to the top of Mauna Kea on the big island Hawaii in August of 1999 and saw the remains of snow drifts which had been there since the previous winter. If freezes in Hawaii almost every day all year round.
God help them! I have a lot of problems going into today but they are minor compared to what these folks are facing. This is why I should not bitch about a pilot light on a furnace acting up after a tenant's gas is restored after months of being off for nonpayment or a sink ripped off the wall last night in a tenant's martial arts school.
In our fast moving world some stories that should be noted often are overlooked and ignored. We all saw and heard about hurricane Sandy, in addition to flooding the subway system of New York and halting financial trading Sandy may of even tilted the Presidential election. If Sandy had indeed made a difference in the election outcome one might say Sandy had the impact of also altering our future.
While we are becoming more use to these uncommon "weather occurrences", it is possible that we should be viewing them as a warning of worse yet to come. More on this subject in the article below, if these "freak" events increase it will become very costly.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2012/11/under-reported-weather-events.html
Yep. Many failed to listen, or refused to, but the climate scientists stated quite clearly that a warming atmosphere would hold more moisture, and global warming would not be linear. Anyone who denies that the planet is warming at this point, man made or not, is an idiot. There are clearly many idiots among us.
I say just round them up and kill them......or maybe just put them in concentration camps like FDR did.
We haven't had a lot of good leaders.....but we've had mindless followers in droves.
Millions have been killed for the common good......but I've yet to see a damn dime of that money.
If only the actual data on average surface temperature and extreme weather frequency or intensity supported what you believe, you'd really be on to something .....
But it does.
How ya been anyways flak?
pods
Oh I miss flak.
I used to like Flak. You could not meet a more pompous personality.
He expected me to refute all the research that was paid for by putting a gun to my head and stealing my money (an my kids in all honesty as most of the $$ comes from deficits), by wasting more of my energy refuting it.
A peach.
pods
Flakmeister did nothing more offensive than offer 100% proof with 100% verifiability.
planet has actually cooled for the last fifteen years. and anyone who thinks there is anything that man can do about it is the IDIOT. the sun has one hell of alot more to say about it than you liberal assholes with your phony "science"...
I realized that global warming was bullshit when I learned that the other planets are seeing their climates change too. The sun controls the climate. Not much else to say really...
You could also say that the sun is subject to external influence by the fact that it's only a needle in the haystack of our galaxy. Not much else to say really...
Oh, I almost forgot: "SCIENCE IS SETTLED"
Then you realized a lie and pretended it was truth:
none of the other planets are experiencing this AND if they were due to the inverse square law the distance to the sun being what it is - to rise the temperature on Saturn enough to even measure it would without question BOIL THE OCEANS OFF THE EARTH leaving us all as charcoal.
That's why we changed the name to Climate Change......
As if the "climate changing" is somehow avoidable...the ego of man.....
Of course it's avoidable: when humans stop polluting the atmosphere & oceans this change will end.
Planet has NOT cooled for the last 15 years. Get your head out of your oil-funded ass. 2005 was the hottest year and the hottest 12 month period was from 6/2009 - 5/2010. The oil cherrypicking dies when you consider trends, which is what matters in climate science. And trends, specially that about heat on the ocean, tells quite the clear story.
How long of a "trend" are we taking, and what percentage of the 500 million years of inhabitable time of earth does said "trend" encompass.
Unless you have millions of year "trends" than I don't want to hear it.
Last Saturday I made some extra cash doing a wheel bearing and a brake job, about 250 bucks. Based on this "trend" I'm going to make an extra 12,000 this year....Hopefully you see my point.
No I don't. Perhaps because you don't understand shit. If you want a 500 million year trend, then that won't account for any climate change ever. Take heat content from atmosphere and land + sea and tell me what you se happening since the mid '70s. And then tell me why that's not valid.
Its not valid
I don't care if you have 10,040 years of data, it is NOTHING but a blip on the screen when we are talking hundreds of millions of years.
There will never be a "trend" or data set that can prove or disprove anything regarding "climate change" it can't be done. Recorded history is far too short.
Ask people to limit fossil fuel usage for something other than the climate changing. Air quality, species extinction, cancer prevention, unsustainability, or just to be environmentally morale.
Not only can you not convince me and alot of people that climate change is our fault, but it is actually NOT our fault.
Except that it actually is because the CO2+methane release by humans is so fast it's faster than any part of nature has ever made happen by itself ever since the Earth even formed.
AND now we've added Fukushima and nature didn't do anything like that before either.
Extinction will be a human-caused event.
"oil-funded ass"... yes the favored attack from the green weenies. I must work for Shell or Exxon right? Bullshit. I am a real engineer/scientist professionally licensed. I can think critically which you apparently cannot. And the trends you refer to are those the "hockey stick" bullshit data that you were caught manipulating to support your theory? And why don't any of the "warming models" consider the effects of solar cycles or changes in orbits? Because they are bullshit that is why...
If you're not working for oil industry but you're spreading their misleading message, then you're an idiot. You're shooting yourself in the foot, and FOR FREE! You can think critically, really? And you believe the climate-gate BS? Solar cycles? orbital changes? Sun has been pretty much in the cooling yet temps keep on the rise. If you were so much of a licensed scientist, you'd know the enormous importance of the atmosphere in climate. But you don't seem to understand that either. There was an American university which had it's whole climatology 1st year and showed the basics of it all. When I get home I'll look for the link, if I remember where it was. It'd do you some good.
Do you know that when the time comes, environmentalist-social justice fucks like you are going to be enlisted into a BTU clean energy exchange program? Yes you and yours as cord wood. Just thought I'd thank you in advance. :)
Oil companies are also gas companies. A carbon tax kills coal power plants. Utilities switch to gas. Demand for gas goes up. Price of gas goes up. Oil companies make a fortune. This is why if you bother to do any reseach, oil companies fund greenpiss and the like, rather than skeptics.
Chesapeake (CHK) funneled millions into Sierra Club's campaign against 'dirty' coal. You can't make this stuff up.
You are a moron. The Climategate stuff is Gruberitis, straight from the horses mouth. How to lie effectively to the sheeple. Wise up idiot. I am a licensed scientist, and do computer modeling for a living. Crooked rigged datsets, faulty theory and crappy models. Helluva theory you got there.....Get a clue fool.
Nope, it's carved in stone proven fact:

NASA has grant money to protect by finding warming where none exists. They have fudged the data from the 30's lower and the recent data higher to show that earth has warmed since the 20's...but raw data shows a decline in trend since the 30's. The number of climate stations with days above 9o F and especially 100F has declined makedly in the US in the last 10 years. Winters are colder for a good deal of the country, outside of the west coast where it has been warmer and drier. from the Northern Plains to NEW england, last winter was 5-10F below normal for DEC-FEB.
Funny how on Earth, the entire planet, not one person can find a cooling trend except Americans who have incomes that depend on gas & oil.
Funny thing.
Everyone else on earth can measure warming directly, repeatedly, except Americans.
The rest of the planet is aware of the apparent anomaly - Americans can't use thermometers.
A few tools missing from your shed?
It's called LAKE EFFECT and has absolutely nothing to do with atmospheric moisture. Cold winds move across the warm lake picking up the moisture dropping it as snow. It happens every year in buffalo and surrounding area until the relatively shallow lake freezes over.
But, we all know that "climate changer monkeys" see the hand of man(n) everywhere.
exactly. unless you live near one of the lakes, you just don't experience it.
"It happens every year in buffalo and surrounding area until the relatively shallow lake freezes over."
It sure does. I lived in Toronto for 8 years and the city often sent snow clearing equipment to Buffalo to help dig them out.
You are right. We have never had such storms before. Buffaloe New York was never under sheets of ice, and the sheets of ice they were never under didn't start to melt until the 1900's when the evil automobile became popular. At least your name is appropriate.
There's a dude going by the name of Philly Jesus in Philadelphia. He's trying to get an audience with the pope during his visit there.
Why not send him to Buffalo to do a personal anti-snow prayer blessing or something like that?
"While we are becoming more use to these uncommon "weather occurrences", it is possible that we should be viewing them as a warning of worse yet to come."
Polar Vortex x.x. New name for an old phenomenon What are you new to this planet. We just got blasted east of lake Huron. Nothing new, nothing different this time except maybe for a few more morons coming out of the wood works proclaiming death and doom. Jeeesh.
Just for your info, according to Wiki New York has recorded 85 hurricanes. If Sandy was the first we would have cause to ADAPT.
Ignoring the fact that 'warming' has stopped and changing the term to 'climate change' is all the proof one needs to see this for the political power grab it actually represents.
The propaganda has worked so well that many many people have created a religious devotion to this false paradigm!
Don't you mean you're ignoring the fact that warming...
has not stopped ???

"the next warmest years are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009, which are statistically tied for third warmest year. The GISS records begin in 1880."
Broken windows, broken doors, broken everything...BULLISH!!!!!

Now it's the polar vortex is bullish!
Have to make those stellar year end Wall Street bonuses.
guys , no joke, I've seen them for days running chem trails that caused this weather
Most of the time, the weathers is pre-engineered
Yes chemtrails dwarf the 5.1+ million square miles of snow packed Siberia that control NA winter weather...
Well you are one Data Point like Argentine Barbeque Sausage.
Sorry just a joke.
- The Elites might want to flood and ruin Property to buy it up
- Chem-trails might be Beta Test for taking farm land & Property
Yes, by the SUN our MIGHTY GOD.
Where is that great windbag AlGore with his hot air, when Buffalo really needs him?
You idiots can not see the connection. Record ocean warmth = releasing the trapped polar air.
Ya gotta look at the bigger picture.
I can also draw wrong conclusions with insufficient data. The usd$ price of gold has gone down the more the fed prints. Therefore printing 10T more will drop the price to $400/oz.
Or this.Every time my dog barks at the postman he leaves. Ergo the postman is afraid of my teacup poodle.
The bottom line is that these geniuses can't predict shit, but want to form policy on their voodoo.
Are you refering to the Global warming Idiots or the Federal reserve?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Look at where Buffalo is located and it's just logical. No global warming mumbo-jumbo. Nice warm lake and cold air.
There was a blizzard in 1977.
Only for an 'american' citizenism
Which of the Great Lakes is an ocean again?
Harry Dong here are some links for another side of the story which by a nice guy seems to point to an other Ice age... he started as an architect, and the was interested in Dinosaurs....
Long story short... he makes a case based on Sun Spot Decreases, past Ecological Data, Past rock magnetism data, and other historical data... that were are now in 3 cycles that all are ice age related... only meaning one Ice Age though since minicycles exist....

He probably will ave a youtube audio recording at some point on Coast2coast.com in youtube.

That's pretty nuts. Where I live I've never seen more than 6 inches of snow.
Fucking ignorance on display. Buffalo is not upstate New York, it is Western New York. Geography matters, like when you target drone strikes so you can maximize casualties at wedding parties.
As for the snow, another big fucking deal. I grew up there and am old enough to have lived through a number of blizzards (missed the "1977 blizzard" though) in my youth and shoveled many a sidewalk. For people that still live in places where the winter can dump 60 inches, are you retarded? Move. No one would blame you if you left the corruption and high taxes of NY. Just be sure to leave your politicial beliefs behind. They are not wanted anywhere but California. I could rant all day at this point.
Standard Disclaimer:
I have not had my coffee this morning.
this guy, huh?
fyi: anything "north" of NYC is upstate. Deal with it.
And - Erie County has 4am last call.
I'm sure as shit taking that politcal belief with me - should be 24 hrs - no reason to stop serving anytime.
Yes, to those living in NYC, everything is "upstate". But these are the same people that elected Bill de Blasio. If you like your rat-infested center of the world, you can keep it.
I hope the government does not build a 1.5 billion solar energy plant there...with a gas fired boiler back up...I doubt it would work very well....jus sayin
Christmas Festivities get going earlier and earlier every year , it's bloody marvelous all them companies thinking of main street's interests. Am hoping all their shelves remain stacked with record low public participation.
On a final note in similar yuletide spirit i wish all you folks in Kiev the coldest temperatures and a miserable 3 months going forward.
Merry Christmas
To see a dead, rotting corpse of Al Gore sharing a streetlamp with a flock of crows would make me feel a little better about all those years of having global warming shoved in my face.
Yes, seeing Algore attain room temperature would be a great proof of global cooling!
To solve the flooding problem that will happen next week, simply pack up all that snow and ship it to California.
Well, the pols have to be careful on this one. First it was global cooling, then global warming, then climate change. Right now they're spending piles of money on highly paid consultants and having expensive meetings and dinners on how to present this to the public with maximum revenue extraction effect that won't have to change from year to year.
No, it's been global warming the whole time.
Only the Koch brothers & cult followers ever said there was global cooling. No one else.
Back in '77, TIME magazine cover article was wworried about a new ice age starting....just saying. Global warming is not used any more by those seeking to tax us on C02, it is now callewd 'climate change' over 32,000 scientists (meteorologists, climate, physicists, etc) in the US alone have signed a petition atpetitionproject.org
Obummer using exec action on global warming, proves it has nothing to do with the environment but more power to gov and a political payoff to cronies.
Algore came up with a great scam to allow government to take more power and impose more taxes, while setting up the carbon credit system through the banking system which pays off directly to him and other connected pols, including Back Door Barry.
To comfort you, UK winter is so far pretty mild compared to what used to have....
And your personal experience is what? A mosquito piss in the ocean?
FEDs are carbon taxing us into an ice age.
