FWIW, Lived in Buffalo as a kid, spent 35 years in Syracuse, and moved to Rochester. Went to SU as an undergrad and Cornell for grad school.

My hat's off to you for not being one of those pussy Snow Birds in Florida every winter. ;~))

Well, I'm here in Orchard Park, NY 1 1/2 miles from the Buffalo Bills stadium. The second faze of the storm has dumped another 12 inches of snow on top of the 48 inches we already have. Aside from “cabin fever” we're just fine. The majority of people know enough to stock up on food and other staples when we get winter storm warnings. Have no idea how the county is going to clean the snow out of the Bill's Stadium in time for Sunday's game. Requests have gone out for people to shovel snow @ $10/hr. Of course there are driving bans and people will be ticketed if they go out on the unplowed roads. To be fair, the roads are being cleaned as I write this. Three days after the storm began and we're finally starting to see progress.=-O

At -44F it is so cold that you cannot inhale, without freezing the mucus in your throat or nose. Your teeth hurt from the cold and exposed skin starts to ache in a couple of minutes.

I used to have a snorkel coat for very cold weather.

Inhale warmer air from inside the coat, exhale with your mouth blowing the air out the front. Kept me warm. Visibility with the snorkel front deployed was low, and you had to rotate your body back and forth because you had no side-vision.
