i was working in the basement today sorting out a heap of camp gear when a buddy in Rochester NY called to see if had heard the news about the storm in Buffalo NY.i'm in Minneapolis and while it's cold we don't have much snow and was not around a TV.
well i had no idea the lake effect snow shut down the area on the east side of lake Erie.thats nothing new that area gets pounded by snow off the lake when things are just right.
so the question is with the huge blob of cold that was in Minnesota and moving east crossing the great lakes were there any heavy snow warnings out? did folks have a chance to make milk and bread runs a day or so before this hit.
the coasts get hurricane warnings and the Midwest tornado but did Buffalo get a warning,not that i heard of on the news or national weather reports.from what i saw it looks like people got caught off guard.
that something to think about if your planning to "weather" out an emergency.
