OLD MAN WINTER IS A BIG FAT BULLY

"Lake Effect Snow Pummels County," Palladium Times, yesterday.

"Oswego County Frozen in Place," News 10 Now, yesterday. Watch the News 10 video clips for some good footage of stressed-out safety officials, weary adults showing signs of the onset of cabin fever, and smiling kiddies happy that school is out and they get to play in towering snow piles.

Apparently, Oswego got over four feet of snow in the past few days. At least one town got six feet.

I haven't been on the web since Wednesday (don't have a connection at home, and probably couldn't have made it to campus Thursday or Friday anyway, if I had wanted to defy the mayor's warning against "unnecessary travel"). Shoveled out my car four times, though. Didn't really want to give up the parking space this morning.
