A Tribute to Snow

Some shots from winter break outside Buffalo...a couple things I found in abundance were time and snow.

 

Snow or shine (rarely shine in a western new york winter).

Mountains of snow accumulated in parking lots; mainstreet in williamsville new york.

Buffalo hosts an impressive force of snowplows.  

locals and regional visitors enjoy cross country trails in Colden (the snow capital 

of Western New York); the area receives on average 180 inches of snowfall annually.

Ready to fight for birdseed.  

 

A creek testifies to Western New York's unique weather situation.  

Its location along Lake Erie causes the region to be more temperate than other Northern 

states while, at the same time, providing record amounts of snow (the notorious "lake effect").

Frost and, finally...sun.
