I cannot even fathom how
awful it is in Buffalo, NY, right now.
Winter hasn’t even started, and they must be going nuts with the
snow. I know, I know. It’s like people in the Midwest complaining
about tornadoes, and people in southern California acting surprised when there’s
an earthquake. It snows in Buffalo, NY,
a lot.
But get real. Seven feet of snow … FEET … ?!
Roofs are collapsing,
doors are being blown in from snow pressure, and highways are littered with
snow-choked vehicles. It’s like the New
England Blizzard of ’78 on steroids.
A couple of years ago we
had so much snow that there wasn’t any place to put it any longer. The snowbanks were too high to add any more
to them, and there just wasn’t anywhere else to turn with it. But that snow accumulated over a week or two,
not a couple of days. I mean, it still
sucked, but it didn’t suck all at once.
It was a gradual suck, sucking some here and some more there until one
day it was this slow suck-realization.
Buffalo residents had
their suck-factor dropped on them in a matter of hours.
If the rest of this season
follows along the same way as it is in Buffalo right now, then I think I’m
going to need a helluva lot more shovels.
