My father grew up in Grand Rapids, and we spent a few years in upper state New York when I was a kid. I hear you on the lake-effect snow!
But that's one of the nice things about living here; snow, when it happens, is magical, and it doesn't stick around long enough to be a nuisance.
Well NorthFLchick....Thanks for the liquid diet info....
Sometimes If the snow melts fast it floods the rivers...Especially if they are ice jammed already. But where I live its all sand so worse I get is a little water in the basement. But I remember one year a friend came over from Minnesota to go steelhead fishing on April 15th. There was still about 36 inches of packed snow on the ground. It hit 95 degrees those 2 days. When all that snow melted pretty much over night. It washed the main bridge to town out. We are talking a major bridge. Cutting us off from Marquette (our idea of a city 18,000 people). And there was another year spring flooding caused The silver Lake Dam to break and it cause a wall off water that they worried That Dead river Basin dam wouldn't hold and it would have taken out half of Marquette. (we actually made national news that time) The harbor in Marquette was loaded with massive debris all summer Large uprooted trees, peoples wrecked boats, camps ,etc. But that was all localized stuff.
Sorry to ramble....but that's about the worst I've seen in 35 years since I moved here....from Detroit area

When I was in Guatemala this summer, several of us talked about it being the perfect opportunity to schedule a colonoscopy, b/c we were prepping for one every day!I'm on a clear liquid diet for the next couple of days...Colonoscopy.....any suggestions...chicken bullion for breakfast not cutting it!!!!
Yep. Sudden melt with rain on top of it is a great recipe for a flood. I live on a short little road that was tarred about 3 years ago. One Easter Sunday, we went out to church. By the time we came back, the heavy rains on top of melting snow and with ground still frozen... perfect set up for flood. We only made it home b/c we had 4WD. It had washed out a section of our road about 20' wide and 1' deep. We watched as the water rose, and completely surrounded our house, leaving us on a 1 acre island, with water rushing by all the way around!
That was bad enough!
That must have been scary. A good argument for keeping at least a couple weeks supply of food in the house.
The more the better..every hunting season lately I have to buy a new freezer...I may be over preparing?
