Don't have to go to work today, along with a bunch of other people in and around Buffalo.

What to do? How about re-writing the words to a song! Oh, ok... so I did... here it is...

Too Much Snow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
Its supposed to fall thru nightfall
Welcome to Buffalo
Too much snow! Too much snow! Too much snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping
The overall totals are whopping
There’s way too much to blow
Too much snow! Too much snow! Too much snow!

When we finally open the door
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
WHAT? We’re supposed to get MORE?!?
Forget it! Stay inside where it’s warm!

The visibility is slowly dying
Shoveling? We sure are trying!
Welcome to Buffalo
Too much snow! Too much snow! Too much snow!

Here's a few verses from the Florida Collection...

Oh the weather outside's delightful
And the sun shines so brightful
Surfing's the place to go
To heck with snow, heck with snow, heck with snow

Since hurricane season's over
All the tourists have come for cover
They spend all their money you know
To heck with snow, heck with snow, heck with snow

Today I think I'll go sailing
To keep my senses reeling
And all of this goes to show
To heck with snow, heck with snow, heck with snow

Sorry - couldn't think up a fourth verse

Hope everyone has a great New Year!

Growing up in Minnesnowta, having winter isn't all that new. But there are a few differences between there and living here in Niagara Falls, NY!

Temperatures don't get that cold. Here, when they say 20 degrees... thats it. In MN when they say 20 degrees, you have to specify above or below 0!

But this lake effect snow is amazing. You can be in bright sunshine, drive down the road a mile and be in a blinding blizzard... then go down the road another mile and sunshine again!

Here in Niagara Falls, we've gotten probably 16-18". Last I heard, the Buffalo Airport has gotten slammed with over 60". Fun, huh?

All that snow and no idea what to do with it?

Man, it's time to break out the skis, snowboards, snowmobiles and GO PLAY!!

Part of the problem with St Louis winters is that we get some good snowfalls but it's never enough to just completely shut down the area. It'll snow like 8" overnight which is enough to create a big mess but not enough to make it impossible to actually work - so snow is no good unless you can get the day off to play in it.

So THATS were all our snow has been going...... TO NIAGRA FALLS.

Fine, send some our way, I hate the cold without the snow.

Every day, Kyle my son asks were the snow is, now I can tell him it went to Niagra Falls.
