New York City, incidentally, is about 375 miles from Buffalo. I live about 180 miles from NYC. Don't feel bad about being geographical challenged. I have almost no knowledge of France, but "once a year" snow sounds really nice to me.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-45620911209255473912015-01-04T17:50:25.123-05:002015-01-04T17:50:25.123-05:00I am so grateful we don't get the storms here ...I am so grateful we don't get the storms here that the cities around the Great Lakes do.

Now that my dog is not here to run around like crazy in it, it has lost its charm. Seeing it through my dog's eyes was fun. Last year, Erie, PA had the dubious title of #1 Snowfall in the US. Buffalo was also up there. The locals here celebrated that and pasted all over Facebook as a badge of courage! LOL. The Buffalo snow photo cracked me up. Loved your title!
