I'll let you all in on my favorite weather website run by the
Meteorology students at Plymouth State College, NH:


Sure is a pretty day in NH on their webcam. All the snow has melted,
too!...(c;

This webcam had a big snowstorm on it one day so hard you couldn't see
anything out the window. Later when the snow stopped, but before the plows
showed up to clean the lots, it was like a marshmallow pillow with bumps in
it where the cars were completely BURIED!

I was born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. Larry
KNOWS lake-effect snow!

Our school used to hand out mimeographed warnings to us kids to stay away
from the power lines you could easily reach from the piled up snowbanks
from the plows.....Some kids got burned to death!

At 23,000 VAC, snowbanks conduct electricity very well.
