wNY has felt like winter since the start of November.....and most of October was chilly too. We have been pounded with (lake effect) snow, wicked winds and colder than average temps without the reprieves we used to get. The coyotes have hammered the game too- deep snow with a hearty ice crust is a bad combo. While snow is a given here.....the sub zero temps and relentless winds/gusts are not something we have had much in my ~50yrs.
the older i get the more i loathe winter....starting with the lack of sun.
