Well, at least when it's -40 here, it doesn't feel like -400. I love having almost no humidity in the winter. :) Ouch.

Syracuse receives an average of 296.96 cm = 116.9 inches in an average winter...... a couple of winters ago, we topped out at over 220 inches of snow..... in that year we had 3 separate snowfalls of about 3 feet each.....when that happens, the plows still try to keep up but, if it snows quickly, even they give up.... oh, isn't it fun in snow country???? I am currently looking out the window at falling snow..... it has been doing that all day.... even though the weatherman said it would stop @ 1 PM. This current snowfall has brought us about 18 inches of snow..... the weatherman's "diagnostic weather brick" is obviously not working!!! I think the weather people on TV/weather channel invent scenarios to justify their existance..... happy winter in Calgary to you all!! Hi Geoff,

I know Calgary doesn't normally get a heap of snow (you folks on the south side of Lake Ontario/Lake Erie will get lake effect in droves compared to the leeward side of the Rockies), though the areas just inside the mountains would likely dwarf you (1 metre in a single snowfall). Hmm... according to the internet (sic), the average is 126.7 cm per year. We'll see if that changes this year. Y’know, that’s a darn good question.

You may be colder but, I think we have you beat in snowfall!! I'll try to bring up a few photos of winter in Oswego, NY from last year or the Tug Hill plateau due east of Lake Ontario.
