    Praying for you guys out there, hopefully it'll be over soon.

    Did you ever think you'd ever be saying this? Let alone in November. This is nuts

    That's crazy Tony! I`m prolly 3 or so hours from where your at, not a flake of snow on the ground. Any word on when they will have the roads opened up?

    Tony, I've been following along with this storm. If the wind shifted, it would have come off the lake and hit us the same (I'm near Erie). They still say we are getting Lake Effect but the wind just keeps going to you all. We really haven't gotten anything. They just couldn't predict this storm until it pounded you all.

    I hope everyone stays safe. That much snow to melt at once is another large fear. Flooding or collapsed buildings. Someone posted a video of a doe trying to go through a field. It broke my heart the struggle it appeared to have. They have no where to go.

    Stay warm and hope for the best. Maybe the rest of the season will spare you with nothing but good weather!

    WOW! We got about 3ft of snow in the early 80's once. It shut down everything for over 2 weeks. I couldn't imagine. Be safe!

    I cant even imagine that much snow... And I'm from central MN.

    Going to be very sore after clearing away the snow to get out of the house. Stay safe!

    That's insane. And this is only the beginning. This snow will still be around by the time another storm comes through.

    Hoping this madness ends soon for all of you guys up there.
