Saturday Six – Episode 305

Patrick’s Place Saturday Six – Episode 305

1. What is the most snow you remember ever seeing where you live?
The most that we had where I live is around 3’ of snow during the blizzard of ’78. The most snow at one time was when I was at college on the early 70’s in Rochester NY, just south of us they got 50” of snow and that was followed by another 50” a few days later. It was from “Lake Effect” snow, Lake Ontario didn’t freeze that winter and the cold north wind blew across the warm lake picking moisture. It then deposited the moisture as snow on Ontario County

2. Given a choice, would you prefer a day of snow or a day of rain?
Rain, as long as it is not freezing rain, because you don’t have to shovel rain

3. How easily does your local area respond to snow or ice on roads?
They are very good with clearing the roads. Being in New England they better be good.

4. Considering the source from which you most often get your forecast, how accurate was that source over the past week?

They blew the forecast miserably, they forecast 10” – 14” of snow and we got 3”. The major businesses let everyone out early fearing the worst, but it was all for naught.

5. Take the quiz: Are You a Snow Bunny?




You Are a Snow Kitten



You like snow in small doses. You find snow to be comforting, and you love to snuggle up under a blanket of snow.
You're not a big fan of the hassles of snow. You're happy to see it come, but you're also happy to see it go.

Go ahead and venture out in the snow from time to time! Throw a snowball or make a snow angel.
You have an inner snow bunny inside you, and it's time to let that bunny play.



6. Okay, it’s time to confess: when the snow starts moving in, do you go to the grocery store and buy up all of the milk and bread?
Nope. I am a good scout and always have about a weeks worth of food on hand.
