BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
The Buffalo snow dance has been done!
Dance one resulted in 60 mph winds, thunderstorms, and power outages…
Dance two lead to a good amount of snow in Buffalo helping to maintain third place in the standings…
Dance three… we will see what happens….
While a video may or may not exist of parts of the Buffalo snow dance I will confirm the ritual took place around the 9:00pm hour Monday night. Unfortunately due to an excessive amount of pre ritual beverages my ceremony turned from sacrificing a 6 foot snow man (blowing his as… “behind” up) to burning a 2 foot replica of him to the ground.Regardless those in Buffalo can be certain we are due for some INTERESTING weather now this week.
ON another note Monday marked the 31st anniversary of the great blizzard of 1977. I hate to make those plugs like Patrick does but this is certainly an interesting you tube video to check out. If you like the video be sure to check out www.whitedeath.com where you can purchase the full length DVD and the associated book by Erno Rossi. I’m not a big book person but his account of the storm is simply AWESOME! Check it out!
General, your really scaring me doing that dance before the high winds come through 🙁 I’m delaying mine by a day just to be safe. You know the sissy man I am when it comes to wind 😉 You might be able to pull some LES your way though now that you dance has been done.
I love that video and one of these days I’ll have to break down and get the autographed copy from Ernie Rossi. I see he likes your preview also, it’s posted on his site now :). I still love the part where the broadcaster puts his foot in his mouth about panicking and then tries to recover a bit..
He says something like “If you let yourself panick there’s a chance you could get killed out there”. Then catches himself sort of and says “umm, and I don’t want to make you panick but that’s the truth” . I think right about then I would have changed the station. It is an awesome video with great pictures!!!
