I remember living in Denver for the 2006 X-mas blizzard; I got about 2-1/2 feet. The apartment complex cleared the parking lot as much as possible, but I had to dig out my car - and I learned why there are so many stories of men getting a heart attack while shoveling snow - I couldn't believe how much that activity ramped up the cardiac rate!

Shades of '77?

Thanks. Storm passed. Was nasty here and we stayed indoors for 2 days. No utility disruptions. We are in the same meteriological vicinity as Buffalo.

Canada right?

Canada right?

Yes, while I'm in Canada, we are actually south of some contintental US states (ie like North Dakota is north from me), but overall Michigan is to the west of us, and New York State is to the East if I was to talk in a hypothetical straight line in either direction. Southern Ontario just dips far down south. Buffalo is not a neighbour, but it is less than a 2 hour drive from here. It's is closer to drive to the States than it is to another province.

Isn't there some big nuclear power plant in that area? I seem to remember this when I once drove from Windsor to Montréal.

Yes, in Pickering, Ontario. However, its quite a distance from where I'm situated. It is going to shut down this decade. I did walk around the boardwalk near the plant in 2014 with my family and ex-wife. Have not been by those parts since. Have some family in Pickering.

Buffalo's getting some crazy weather this year.
