I grew up in upstate NY just south of Lake Ontario and moved back to Western NY just north of Niagara Falls for a few years as an adult. As a late teen I saw plenty of snow living in WV and I've seen some pretty damn impressive lake effect snow storms in New York State. Once in a while I get nostalgic for a big snow fall - like maybe on Xmas eve. The rest of the time - no thanks. Been there done that and at my age am done with it. Its pretty to see, no doubt, but too much work and the other bs that goes with it uglies up the picture for me.
