I'm further south than the really heavy stuff. Up north of Syracuse in Parish and Oswego they've had 10-12 feet. I'm in Owego (as opposed to Oswego) and we've only had a couple of feet of the white stuff. When it all hits at once, like yesterday, everything stops for a day. Pretty much back to normal today.

My house is an old one, and the roof has a very sharp angle so the snow just falls off.

I was down in Washington DC one March in the 90s and they got about 1 inch of snow and shut the city down in a panic. I ended up stuck down there for an extra day, not because the plane couldn't take off from there, but because we'd had a few feet of snow up here and the plane wouldn't have been able to land once it got back up here.

Not exactly out the back door of my shop, but you get the idea.

Now if you will excuse me while I duck behind my desk... (insert laugh here)

Well at least there is no snow in our scenic view out the back. Had all I wanted 20 years ago. I think I saw Bambi hiding down the street after the firemen scared her away.

This was a steel building like the green one behind it that somebody had a wood shop in. It has been abandoned for a couple of years and has caught on fire twice. They were finally tearing the remains down the other day and managed to set in on fire one more time with their torches.

There isn't much left to burn. It looks like it's all metal. Oh, I forgot, you're in Texas. Anything is flammable during a Texas summer, even metal.

Not much left now. The last fire was in a wall at the front of the picture that is no longer there. It took a little while for the fire department to put it out so must have been enclosed with insulation or something.

Did the owner collect on an insurance claim with each fire? (devil)
