    I remember helping my wife in her wedding dress over a Buffalo snowbank on our way to the church to be wed Feb.19, 1966. I think there was about 30 to 40" on the ground. No boots or coats in evidence as I recall.

    Buffalo like in the town of Buffalo or, cos they don't look like buffalos. You should see our buffalos. :tears-of-joy: I'd run for shelter.

    Cheers,
    Wabble

      In most UK towns and cities, throughout the winter months, you can see a similar sight. Young ladies wearing their clubbing gear, tottering around as the wind howls and the rain falls.
      Oh to be young :smiling2:

        Waiting in line for a taxi in that might be a problem.....

        I was watching a program on TV which included a couple breeding Asian Water Buffalo, in the north of Scotland!

          Hope they grow hair or they'll freeze their horns off. :tears-of-joy:

            Well if music’s taught me anything I know that Buffalo girls have to be asked to come out tonight, or alternatively you can watch them go ‘round the outside…….
            Looks like a night out in Newcastle to be honest. Bloody mad, the lot of ‘em :upside:

                Assuming Paul means Buffalo New York girls, the pic certainly suggests that.
                Towns such as Buffalo and Watertown are right in the gaping maw of the great northeastern snow belt
                caused by bitterly cold winds whipping down and across the Great Lakes from Canada.
                When it comes across the warmer lakes from east to west it pulls massive amounts of moisture
                out of them and then dumps it in the form of snow across the northern tier of New York state.
                Our latitude and elevation, though a couple of hundred miles east of Buffalo and the lakes
                puts us right in the bullseye most of the time. We usually measure snow by the foot when
                these events occur, which is more often than not.

                As far as the girls go, my missus in her younger days would almost refuse to wear a heavy coat
                or gloves or boots or a hat no matter how cold it was.
                Now, if the house dips below 70f she sneaks up on me and shoves her icy hands down my back,
                and says give the furnace a kick!

                Jim.

                      Yeah, Bflo., NY born & bred. You in the finger lakes region then Grumpa? I remember one year my Uncle Fritz had drifts over his 2nd story house just south of Syracuse. I believe that was a 7 foot snow fall.

                        No Paul, the Adirondacks region, though we are in New York, we are nowhere near cities
                        Nice and remote and anonymous, just the way I like it

                            Partying in Utica, NY was as close as I came to your region Grumpa, being basically a city rat.
