What a great tribute to Winter, and I loved the details about ice fishing. And about snow days. Yes, Buffalo had a bad Blizzard in 1977, and an even more deadly one in 2022. One of the factors that made the one in 2022 worse was, in the words of journalist Ed Nice: "An extratropical cyclone, which at times was called a bomb cyclone, brought strong wind gusts that were equivalent to a class 1 hurricane. Due to the fact that Lake Erie had virtually no ice coverage, those winds subsequently kicked off a record lake-effect snowstorm that dropped more than 50 inches of heavy lake snow on Buffalo."

But one similarity between the 2 storms is how many neighbors were helping each other, and that has always been a standout factor in Buffalo's terrible weather.

Okay, I'm a little obsessed with the “tunnbrödsrulle” and how that would work, just physically, and at what point somebody said "Let's add shrimp salad".
