I live in Buffalo, and quite often make the trip to Erie. Have some associates there. They, like us, are used to snow, but this pushes the limits.
We lived in Fulton, which is in the lake snow area.
One year they had about 5 feet fall in three weeks and although they were used to it, that was a bit much for all of us.
The funniest thing was, though, that for all the clearing of everything the DPW did, they didn’t bother with their own roof.
It collapsed under the weight of the snow load.
Shoveling off your roof was the town sport.
