[hurrah] here comes the snow

I adore the snow and so this was welcome news, even if it did cause chaos: Between 7 and 10 centimetres of snow fell in most areas around Buffalo, with some spots receiving 14 centimetres or more later in the evening. 94,000 in western New York were left without power as the ‘unprecedented' October snowfall hit, downing tree limbs and power lines Thursday night. In the 137 year weather service record the Buffalo area has had only two “snowier” days. Erie County and Genesee were among the hardest hit areas, with total accumulations of 15 to 30 centimetres possible by Friday morning and 80 per cent of the roads are impassable. Buffalo schools are to be closed today.
