We here in Wisconsin just had the worst winter-storm of this season. At my house, I probably had 7 inches of snow (higher in places in my driveway that it drifted) that was not only snow, but there was rain, ice, and sleet mixed in there, making it crappy to shovel and deal with. North of me, they got a LOT more snow and actually had blizzard-conditions. Now, 2 days later, the temperatures have dropped and last night we had windchills that reached down in the -30s. That cold.

But usually, when we get a bad storm, the Northeast gets exactly what we got. And many times, the storm gains strength and hits them worse than it hit us. Here’s a picture that shows that…

That was taken in Hamburg, NY on Friday, after their winds hit 77mph. Yeah. A little chilly out here in the middle of February.
