The crazy snowfall hitting upstate New York is making national headlines. Some areas have up to six FEET of snow (one area: 123 inches), if you can believe it. The biggest amounts are about 45 minutes north from my hometown of Syracuse--though the Salt City has certainly gotten its fair share. The only good part of the whole story is the rest of the nation (and New York City folks) are being educated that "upstate New York" isn't just the area between Manhattan and Poughkeepsie.

On the Syracuse.com website there are amazing pictures about the snowfall in the area. Including one of people ice fishing on my believed Oneida Lake.




I'm so used to seeing my lake like THIS--which I MUCH prefer. Only four and a half months away. Sigh.
