That is too cold. I wouldn't even attempt to shovel in that stuff.poohritz said:FYI windchill warning for my area so that means 40-50 below windchill until 12:00 PM tomorrow. all this talk about global warming and we get this winter, tons of snow and cold.
I agree, Lisa! Today I drove back from Buffalo to 100 miles north of Syracuse (home) and as Lisa knows, that route hugs Lake Erie and then Lake Ontario (for a 4 hour drive). Luckily, we only had about 20 miles to drive through lake effect. It wasn't the worst I have driven through but my parents who are in their 70's were with me and I think it scared the stuffing out of them.lisa717 said:We get Lake Effect here too....I am in Ny off of Lake Ontario...some people don't even know what it is...THAT amazes me.....everyone should drive through lake effect just ONce in thrie life!!

For those of you who have never driven through it just put a white sheet over the windshield of your vehicle when you are driving through 2 to 6 inches of snow. You can slow down to about 15 mph but watch out for the idiots that just have to pass you! Then throw a second white sheet over your windshiled to simulate the snow they kick up as they pass you! You may wear Depends while simulating your drive through lake effect snow!

That bolded statement is why any shows that hold in the next couple of weeks will be well-attended. I mentioned that at a meeting last night, and I really hope it holds true.JAE said:Great show, Becky! You'll forget about the stressful driving soon, but you'll be loving that commission.
I'm having chocolate right now. Cherry cordial Hershey Kisses.
School really needs to happen tomorrow. Everyone has cabin fever and will be out and about anyway. I was surprised by how many people were not out and about, today. I got through Meijer checkout so quick, and I shopped at the mall for a new winter coat. Parked at the first space and no waiting for other cars while driving through the parking lot.
katie0128 said:See, if it wasn't for all this global warming causing massive snow storms (there's irony for ya!) you wouldn't be consuming the chocolate. Yep, you can blame it on global warming.
I'm going to blame my dessert eating on it, too. While we aren't having really bad weather... ummm... what was my excuse again? Oh yeah, I need chocolate (and an extra cupcake and ice cream) because I'm so worried about all of you staying safe. See... global warming again!

That does sound like a fun group! Some people get upset when guests start joking around like that, or playing with things instead of paying attention. But I think it's an indication that they're having a good time. And those are the shows that are more likely to generate bookings.ChefBeckyD said:They were so much fun. I passed around the new rubs, starting with the Greek Rub, and they started asking if it came with a Greek to do the rubbing.....then, it continued on - they wanted Niko to come with the Greek Rub, and Paolo with the Chipotle.......it all went downhill from there - but we laughed alot!

ChefBeckyD said:Thanks for your concern Katie!
ChefBeckyD said:We've had SUNSHINE today....beautiful wonderful sunshine!
katie0128 said:Anything for you, Becky!
Great! Now I don't have an excuse to be worried about you guys and munch on chocolate!:grumpy:
JAE said:Well, we had such a beautiful day, today! I only take my boys to school on Wednesday mornings, and I really don't like doing it. But, the sun rise was amazing at 7:40 am this morning. The snow was covering everything and it wasn't dirty, yet. I was totally gushing about how even though the snow gets me down, God makes it so beautiful. And "this is the day that the Lord has made" blah, blah, blah. My kids didn't even mind. They thought it looked cool outside too. Then we were able to end the night with the Lunar Eclipse. We watched American Idol and ran outside when it was over to see the moon. So, again, I gushed about how God gave us an awesome sunrise to begin the day and an awesome moon to end the day. The sun and clear skies just make me happy! Of course, having the kids in school all day helps an awful lot.
I know! I always feel bad that their hands are going to be cold because Mom's aren't supposed to let their kids' hands be cold. But, I seriously have to have these mittens for myself. My fingers just won't stay warm in gloves and they turn numb and stay that way for a long time after I'm inside. Since I do most of the shoveling around here, I have to have warm mittens. I'll let you know how it goes.The_Kitchen_Guy said:Good luck with that rule.

The phenomenon of "lake effect snow" occurs when cold, dry air passes over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes. This causes the air to pick up moisture and create heavy snowfall as it moves inland. The closer the area is to the lake, the more snow it will receive.
You can check the radar by using a weather app or website that shows radar images. Look for areas with a band of heavy snow extending from the lakeshore inland. This is a good indication that the area is experiencing lake effect snow.
Snow days are determined by the local school district, taking into account the safety of students and staff. While lake effect snow can certainly cause school closures, it ultimately depends on the severity and timing of the snowfall. You should stay updated with your local school district for any announcements.
Like any other snowstorm, lake effect snow can be dangerous if proper precautions are not taken. Heavy snowfall can reduce visibility and make driving difficult. It can also lead to power outages and school closures. It's important to stay informed and prepared for any potential hazards.
Lake effect snow is a natural weather phenomenon that cannot be prevented. However, efforts have been made to mitigate its effects, such as building snow fences to prevent snowdrifts on roads and using salt to melt snow and ice on roads. Ultimately, the best way to deal with lake effect snow is to stay informed and prepared for its impact.
