Living in Buffalo Must Suck


(CNN) -- More lake-effect snow could blanket parts of upstate New York Friday, forecasters said, as residents continue digging out from a storm that shut down a major highway and left up to six-foot-high drifts in its wake...Several spots got hit hard by this week's storm, and consistently. National Weather Service spotters reported more than 32 inches in communities east and south by Thursday evening. Plus, temperatures just below freezing made for wet snow that forecasters cautioned "will bring down some tree limbs and produce scattered power outages."


Its the freaking snowpocalypse in Buffalo right now, only if the apocalypse was something that came around a few times a year.  Remind me again why anyone chooses to live in that God forsaken area?

Routinely hit Biblical "lake effect" snow storms that have nothing to do with normal weather patterns, proximity to Canada without the benefits of universal healthcare or cheap college tuition, and a football team that elects to play some of its home games in Canada despite the fact that Canadians don't even know the rules to real football. 

These people are aware they're allowed to move, right?  The job market can't possibly be worth living through this hell, people stranded on the highway freezing their asses off for 20 hours! I'd like to know what job is worth that kind of rush hour traffic.

And has anyone even considered filling in whatever lake is causing all this snow?  Clearly a demonically possessed lake.  Normal lakes don't do shit like this, they're happy places that people can, people jetski, swim, tube ride, etc...none of this "the lake is actively trying to kill people" bull shit.  Someone needs to perform an exorcism, stat.
