Putting things in perspective. . . . . .

Weirdest thing about lake effect snow is that it can absolutely hammer one area and less than ten miles away leave only a dusting. It's very unpredictable and therefore higher on the danger scale. Something like fifteen dead at this point, one guy died in his car being snowed in for thirty hours. This one is an extreme example but shit like this happens all the time up here.
