Love and hate relationship (weather related)

For of those new to this program I live in Northwestern Pa. About 30 minutes from Erie Pa in Erie they have one of the great lakes which is called Lake Erie. We love to fish in the lake. That is where the love part ends.

Here is a weather lesson a great big body of water say the size of Lake Erie affects our weather in the winter. I see scratching of heads and saying how for example one of the blogs that I read faithfully stated in her state and her particular town it was a mere 6 degrees farenheit. I asked her to please keep that cold air in that state because 6 degree air temp coming over a 45 degree lake resulted in snow. Not just a couple mere inches of snow almost a FOOT of snow.

Tonight before the lake effect snow kicks in (damn evil lake) we are getting freezing rain. My son is a Jr. firefighter and was tapped out to go help with traffic control and they have been tapped out to another accident before they were finished with the first one. His scanner has been busy all night.

He is an hour over his hours hasnt had supper yet and loving this. How many days till spring
