We have 23°F here along the river. No wind, but a damp cold.
It's currently -21C (-6F). It got all the way up to -17C (1F) today.
This is what it looked like yesterday:
Rocket, I'm not denying that some areas get lots of snow, some over a short time. Upper VT in 2003 had over 20 feet on the ground during winter and they were still skiing into June. I remember that because my SIL came up in late March 2004 to head to Killington...and we ran into Mud Season. Michigan's UP piles up to the clouds almost any winter. But what I found to be rather incredulous was the comment that one town got 27 feet of snow in 24 hours. It didn't. The Oswego total you just quoted was for just under 11 feet accumulated over two weeks. By my Catholic school math, that averages to less than one measurable foot of snow in any one 24-hour period. But no matter how you look at it, that is one heck of a lot of snow!Yup, from Wikipedia, " In 2007, Oswego gained national attention when approximately 130" (slightly less than 11 feet) of snow fell in a two-week timespan. This broke the record of the Blizzard of 1966, which blanketed the city with 102" of snow."

It's 35 degrees right now. We got a couple inches of snow overnight. Our temps are predicted to be in the high 40's over the weekend. I'm getting out my shorts and sandals.
Heck, that is bikini weather! Go for it girl.
Thanks Pac. The snow was falling, but that's a Google+ enhancement, that animated snow.Cool picture, Taxy.
New England had its own blizzard in 1978.
