The extended forecast for Buffalo is calling for rain and temperatures in the 50's so they're bracing for round 3, flooding.

LOL Amazing what you can see in nature of how things flow!

We are probably the only ones who think like this when we see things flowing!

So, living with snow drifts, hurricanes, sandstorms, and other maladies of nature helps visualize wet-flow patterns? :mrgreen:

I tend to look at streams and creeks for wetflow, much more relaxing :mrgreen:

Drives my wife nuts when I start talking about how what I see when we are out for a walk relates to the flowbench! LOL

Tony, that? that is not snow that is LAKE EFFECT SNOW.... this is the stuff that makes the tough tougher and the rest move to Florida :mrgreen:
As a kid growing up in Michigan I was no stranger to it, never that deep but when you got it you new what it was, kind of like there are no hurricanes on the Great Lakes but ask the guys on the Edmund Fitzgerald??? some of the worst sea storms one would never want to get caught in.

The fact is if you put all the daily grind of global BS behind you whether your from up state New York, the Rockies, the Alps, the Dolomites SNOW is one of the most beautiful things nature gives us. To this day at 54 I still love to take the girl and the dogs and go play in the snow all the time hoping school will be canceled tomorrow. :cry:

Here in the states my business is responsible for many public (Community) areas and when we get snow now it is more than not a headache as the upwardly mobile can't complain fast enough about why the street are not clean as they need to make it to Starbucks for their Late` then on to Yoga or the gym ? God (insert politically correct HE) forbid they stay home and enjoy a day or two of natures finest with the FAMILY, that some day may not be there....

Enough of my ranting Bad work week with the Upwardly Mobile Washingtonians....

Rick

And for those that HOT ROD snow mobiles it was a blessed day :D

BTW something else they don't have down under....
