It’s snowing again in the Buffalo area, and that has some people wondering where they’re going to put it.
Two snowstorms this week have dumped up to 18 inches of snow on parts of an already snowy western New York. The National Weather Service says another 10 inches could fall that by Tuesday.
Very little has melted away because of bitter cold temperatures, creating a situation that one public works official describes to The Buffalo News (http://bit.ly/1Knnx4g ) as “an ongoing battle” to keep roads and sidwalks clear.
Officials are reminding businesses to clear sidewalks along main commercial strips, while high snow piles at some intersections is making it difficult for motorists to see oncoming traffic.
Meanwhile, police warn people not to plow or use snow blowers to deposit snow in the streets because that’s illegal.

How about to the UN committee on global warming?
The snow really isn’t that bad here in Buffalo. The nice thing is that all the frum Jewish neighborhoods (which are located in N. Buffalo and Amherst) are not in the lake-effect snow belt. So we get only half as much snow as in South Buffalo. There are a few snow days per year where everything’s closed, but overall it’s quite manageable.
Buffalo is so affordable that more frum families should consider moving here. You can buy a 4-bedroom house for as little as $100k in an Orthodox neighborhood (around $200 in the other main neighborhood)! The frum community is small but growing (5 or 6 shuls, an eruv, a mikvah, and one Orthodox school) but warm, diverse and free from infighting.
I second that
Aryeh, they long ago changed the song to climate change and its now called climate disruption. I think its time to rename again to al goreming.
“How about to the UN committee on global warming?”
Aryeh Zelasko is ignorant. Eastern North America is the ONLY populated area in the world that has not been hit with substantially hotter weather recently. 2014 was overall the hottest year ever recorded.
And lest he doubt me, last night I went to the internet sight for the Royal Gorge ski area in California, as I was planning a trip to California. Royal Gorge is the largest cross country ski area in North America. It is currently closed for lack of snow. Normally the depth of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains is measured in feet, not inches, this time of year. This continues a drought that is the worst that California has experienced in hundreds of years.
Sorry it’s now climate change
Just a thought how about rivers lakes and reservoirs Could use the water for drinking
