For me, it's the snow when there's more than a foot, and I end up shoveling multiple times per day.

But the ice, today I spent hours grating up the ice in the parking lot at work. Banging metal shovels against the ground can do a wonder on ice and murder on the arms. Not fun.

Ah, snow of more than one foot. Now, that is something I can have fun with. Or in. I can go up into the North Jersey ridges and go snow shoeing. I can go to several towpaths and go cross country skiing.

But this garbage that we just had is awful.

Well, it was a high 37 degrees today. So, I was actually nice and warm.

It just sucks living in the town that get's the most snowfall in New York state!

I thought Syracuse was the snow capital of the Empire State. I used to belong to WCNY, the great Public Radio station in Syracuse. I had a number of "efriends" there.

There were so many school closings that I sent Don Dolloff "Peter and the Wolf" to play when the kids were home.

I suggested that whenever they had a new member, along with the card, T shirt, whatever, they send a box of Sno-Caps, the chocolate nonpariel-topped candy.

Is Pulaski near Syracuse?

NJ weather: it's trying, John, it's really trying.

Yes, Pulaski is about 35 minutes North of Syracuse, and yes, we get much more snow then they do.

Actually, what's really funny, is the fact, that one time, when all of the the other schools close in the Central NY area, we remained open, even though, we had the most snow.

It's quite funny, because we did the same last year when we got a record 6 feet of snow in a 2 day period on top of the already 3 feet there. Totaling in 9 feet of snow. While that same 2 days, Syracuse got a total of 9 inches, on top of 2 feet of snow.
