The town of Parish NY (about an hour south west of me) has got a whopping 69" of snow in the last three days...thats 5 feet 9 inches. and it is calling for another day of lake effect. I'm glad most of it missed my town.

Boy oh boy, I sure do miss the sight of dirt, brown or green grass, my driveway, and other things that was laying on the ground before the snow fell. Haven't seen the ground since early December. :( Is it still there? :confused: <br /><br />A little snow or alot, it still is cold and old. Get on with spring now already!

One good thing about the snow, hides the dog crap in the yard that the kids haven't picked up in a couple months :rolleyes: <br /><br />I have family in West Monroe, they usually get popped with those amounts also.

Re: 69 inches and still snowing

Basically the air picks up moisture as it crosses the great lakes and then drops it when it hits land. Usually triggered by temp or altitudes but it can cause some tremendous snow.
