  Good luck to you.
context: as always Buffalo, we in Toronto appreciate your sacrifice to the lake effect gods. stay safe and merry christmas. >
  
  It is pretty crazy that even St. Catherines doesn’t get nearly the snow Buffalo does and it is only 30 miles away. That lake effect is no joke! >
  
  It’s crazy that different parts of Buffalo can have very different levels of snow.
  One neighborhood might get several feet while the neighborhood next door might get a dusting. >
  
  This is how it was when I lived in Ft. Drum, NY. Different lake, but same effect. The base would get a dusting and the town south of us would get 2 feet. People use the term “white out conditions” too loosely. I’ve been in quite a few nor’easters living in New England, but nothing compares to lake effect snow when you can’t even see the front of the hood of your car when you’re in the driver’s seat. You just need to wait it out and hope that it only lasts 20 minutes. >
  
  We’re getting the blizzard up here too. Can’t see more than 6 feet outside for the last 2 days. >
  
  I’ve been all over and have experienced I think every type of weather in the world except that shit right there. I can kind of understand it because I’ve been through so many hurricanes and flash floods and monsoons and stuff and have been in tons of snow but not a blizzard like that. Hard to imagine. >
  
  Hard to shovel too. Snowblower took a shit, been out all day. Almost to the end of my driveway, which will likely take all day tomorrow! Not looking forward to it. Catching my breath for a few here on Reddit before I have to change because I’m soaked in sweat. This has been the worst I’ve seen in my lifetime (42)
