Yes it's fuuny about lake effect. I live in Auburn and Owasco lake is a small finger lakes of this area. We usually don't get the lake effects from the large great lakes like we've had this year, but all it takes is a few miles north or east and as 53 Willy says hardly any snow. Once I get my camera charged back up , I'll take a few pictures. Yes it's still snowing and now there calling for a north eastern which will be snow, rain and freezing rain. Great, just what the hell we need.. Tech, My wife and I were going to move to Wyomiing, but my COPD is not getting any better and my Doctor says to move to your area. Might just be a neighbor some day.
