Village may set N.Y. record for snowfall
REDFIELD, N.Y. - This village in upstate New York's snowbelt gets a lot
of snowfall during the winter, but last week's total — more than 11
feet, unofficially — might be an all-time record .What do you have to say now Big Al? This is more like the 1975 predictions of the coming Ice Age, not Global Warming...

If enough cold, fresh water coming from the melting polar ice caps and the melting glaciers of Greenland flows into the northern Atlantic, it will shut down the Gulf Stream, which keeps Europe and northeastern North America warm. The worst-case scenario would be a full-blown return of the last ice age - in a period as short as 2 to 3 years from its onset - and the mid-case scenario would be a period like the "little ice age" of a few centuries ago that disrupted worldwide weather patterns leading to extremely harsh winters, droughts, worldwide desertification, crop failures, and wars around the world.
LOL
I laughed at the boob part and the internet part.
Not to worry about all of the lake-effect snow coming off Lake Ontario. Global warming is going to take care of that for you.
The Great Lakes are fed by surface water, with large reservoir maintenance from the accumulation and melt of ice and snow in the northern clime of the continent. The surface ice and snow that reservoir feed the aquifers has been disappearing at a rapid rate. It does not fall into the ocean like the glacial pack.
The average elevation above sea level of Ontario is 246 ft. and the average depth is 283 feet. As the lake dries up, water will remain is a smaller pools within its deeper parts, 802 feet being the deepest.
Aside from Lake Erie, this is going to happen to Ontario faster than the upper Great Lakes. Water from them will never get through shallow Erie.
So before you hardly know it, happy days will be with you in snow unbound New York.
How soon? Well there is a straw that breaks the camels back. When change in a geo-chemical system nudges across the critical point, bang it precipitates. So drink up, it may be but seconds, minutes, hours, days or years away—but we can always hope that all it is not too late.
