Nothing beats hometown snow. I saw 7 feet of snow in the Nov 2014 Buffalo Lake Effect event. Very cool to see, but it can’t beat 2 feet on my own turf. However, if you have not witnessed lake effect like that, it is worth the trip. .
Whenever I see the NAM show that warm nose, I always give it respect. It does a good job in sniffing that out. As far as accumulation amounts, it sucks. .
