You can see the lake effect bands building up on Lake Ontario yesterday, giving parts of New York it's first snow of the year.
The western and southern states seem to survive without such a strict reading of Mathew 5:13, and their cars and bridges typically look far less beat up after a few years.
Three months later, Albany had the longest heat wave going on for ten days from August 27 to September 5th, each day well into the 90s including a few days over Labor Day Weekend when it was 100 degrees. The 1953 heat wave was the last time Albany had triple digit weather.
