The predicted snow fall, has not lived up to the claims of the forecast.....if it continues to snow at the current rate we may get 6" +/-.......If you don't live in an area that gets "lake effect snow" which at times can literally snow a foot of snow an hour ...allow me to try and explain how the massive amounts of snow can occur
  But certain conditions must be met"
  1) you must have a large deep body of fresh water to the west.(check) Lake Ontario is west of where I live
  2) wind must be out of the SSW, SW or WSW........(check)
  3) temperature of the water must be significantly the the temperature of the air (check)
  4) and in general we get the larger amount of snow when the air temperature is between 12*F and 20*F........
    And that's way the predicted snow didn't happen.......the temperature this whole time as been hovering on side of the other of 32*F.....and as the lower accumulation shows the difference between the water temperature and the air is not great enough for a great amount of moisture to be transferred from the water to the air,  and therefore we are getting some so snow..just not the amounts predicted..
  But personally it's enough snow to keep this gimpy old codger tucked away safe and warm in my rooms..besides I haven't gotten the attachment for my can with the little spikes for snow and ice yet......and probably never will........I basically hate snow......
