I've seen 41 below on one occasion and there are regions where it goes below zero every night for weeks at a time. At 41 below the grease was so thick in my car's transmission that it wanted to take off and go ahead in neutral. My old home town gets over 200 inches of snow every year. Last January they got over 100 inches in 10 days. The city of Oswego, 10 miles north at the northern end of the Oswego Canal, is directly on Lake Ontario. The winter north westerlies are so strong there that it piles up ice along the shore 30 to 40 feet high at times. It looks like the artic when that happens. Figures you moved to Florida. We had about 90 inches in Chicago one year - '78-'79 - and it was a constant battle getting to work. Shoveling all the time. Hard to imagine all that snow every winter. But a paradise for those who love winter sports I guess. When I was kid living near the lake I saw that arctic-like ice piled up like that once. We somehow had the sense not to venture too far. It was like being on a glacier, with crevasses and high overhangs. Must have been an oddity of real cold weather and easterlies that caused it. --Vic Yup...no country for girliemen! No place for bikinis, either! |
