Words of Wisdom From an Unexpected Place
The NY Post is New York City's most conservative newspaper and a
staunch supporter of Donald Trump. They are owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and seldom have anything but praise for all things Republican. In a stinging rebuke to Trump's post-election theatrics the Post laid it all on the line with this concluding paragraph: "If you insist on spending your final days in office threatening to burn it all down, that will be how you are remembered. Not as a revolutionary, but as the anarchist holding the match." The entire article is he https://nypost.com/2020/12/27/give-it-up-mr-president-for-your-sake-and-the-nations/?fbclid=IwAR3er7rw4CZfM6kmwa4eIlHvjdG6EJABJcSlNytU YE1d3gVBgld_hV6mn0Q |

Trump may end up getting the last laugh if the Senate passes HR9051 and sticks Biden with a $300,000,000,000+ bill for the extra covid checks. The two democrat candidates in Georgia are already running ads saying if you don't get the 2 grand it is the Senate GOP member's fault. |

If it is above FEMA add $200k to that. You save about $100k on a canal. PGI is probably the cheapest but you need to bring your own money. Employment up there is tough.

Lake Ontario is the worst of the two because it doesn't freeze all the way across like Erie does. Once Erie freezes over the winds no longer pick up moisture as they blow south from Canada. My old home town is 10 miles south of central Lake Ontario and gets 200 to 300 inches of snow a year, including at least a couple of major blizzards. The snow banks along the road sometimes get so high that they bring in arctic snow blowers to cut them back. People put flags on their car radio antennas so they can be seen over the snow banks as they approach intersections. The county puts tall wooden stakes on guard rails so the plows don't accidently hit them. |

I worked with a guy who grew up in the 1930-40’s on the Tahoe west Shore. His dad was a park ranger. He said one year they lost phone and his dad started from their place and another guy started from Tahoe City and they had to dig down to the phone lines as the snow was deeper than the power poles looking for the break. I think God did not like the Donner Party. Was historically one of the heaviest snowfalls in history. They were snowed in on October 30. We hope to usually have enough snow to ski by Thanksgiving. |
