PRINTLake Effect Snow
Most of this winter I have mentioned how Northern New England has been pounded by snow – 23 plowable storms and in some locations over 140″ of white stuff. But, what happens when you get 146 inches of snow in two weeks. A friend shared scenes from Watertown NY. This storm occurred in 2007 but dropped 146 inches of snow in 2 weeks. A picture is worth a thousand words. Watertown is due north of Syracuse, NY and directly east of Lake Ontario. When it snows, it really snows. This is from last winter but it tells a story. Enjoy!

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
