I can only imagine what it is like there with the lake effect.

8F this morning 5 hours south of you. Just an inch of snow on the ground but a lot of wind and the side roads have been packed to glaze. But it's not affecting my ability to go to work, so I feel for Richard in that way.

Oh well, you pick your poison when you pick where to live. At least there aren't any fire-nados.
