Zuzu - Well, they *did* get a bit of snow.. just a tad bit.. when I lived in NNY (the other section of NY that got hit.. between Canada & Syracuse), we would get snow but not 6' at a time. I think the worst I've ever seen at one 24 hour period was actually here in Colorado where we got close to 3' at once. Practically shut down the city for 3 days. That was in '03.
