Sounds like we may be on the same pattern for now. It’s been freezing here in the Syracuse area with schools closed yesterday because of the temps and closed one day last week for the same reason. We have had a few days of bright sunny skies which is kind of nice but the below zero wind chills make it too cold to really do anything outside.

I think I would rather have it around 25 and snowing than have it as cold as it’s been. Just north and I think northeast of Syracuse they have been getting pounded with Lake Effect snow. I’ve been hoping that it will drop down to us but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen so Erie’s lead should be safe for now

Our house has a lake view, and it’s definitely starting to freeze over. I’ll send you a pic if I get a chance.

Maybe we’re used to it, I remember far worse winters, although we been lucky the past several years so far. Its only recently where its been extremely cold, and we’ve gotten light, dry, and powdery snow (the kind where you only have to brush, but not scrape, you’re car clean.

Plus, the weather reports from Boston and other places seem so much worse– perhaps they’re so much colder and have gotten hit more consistently. We get hit, its gone for a few days, then it’s back.
