I never knew why all the local weather outlets keep calling it "lake effect snow." "There will be brief periods of lake effect snow on your drive home."
Freakin' A man, it's snow.

People on the leeward side say "Freakin' A man, it's snow."

For us here in the leeward side it don't matter..
Those of us who live in the Rochester/Buffalo Finger Lakes area KNOW not to try to drive past Batavia on the NYS Thruway during a snow storm !!

Of course it is also 5 degrees !!
Fortunately no wind-- THAT is the killer.
