    Description

    Lake effect snow typically is a narrow band of snow driven by cold winds over warmer Great Lakes waters with arctic air aloft. THIS storm came historically early, was poorly forecast, and produced widespread damage and devastation. My "tale of woe" is not all about me...and it's not boring, even if you're listening in El Paso!

    I'm a 44 year veteran broadcast meteorologist based in Buffalo since 1984, but also having worked previously in Bangor, Wichita, Tampa, and Detroit. I grew up in Hudson County NJ, yet was never indicted by a federal grand jury. I now work mainly as a weather/climate writer for the Buffalo News. On the side, I have been a gag writer for a long time NYC radio personality and was twice recommended by Johnny Carson's Head Writer to be hired onto his staff. I'm proud to say I was PERSONALLY passed over by the Head Writer's boss--Johnny. How many people can say that? Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/don-paul/support
