In Buffalo the snow is piling up

In Buffalo, January 2009 was the 16th coldest January in 139 years of measurements, with an average temperature of 18.5º F, a full six degrees colder than normal. We had just over 30" of snow in the month, and it has not been melting. Fortunately the 49" we got in December mostly melted before the new year, but we are running out of room at our place for the cleared snow. It warmed up a little the first day of February: 39º.
