Super
Bowl of snow
26
January 03: We
got a good snow today in Buffalo, where we live, and in Niagara
Falls, where I serve a Presbyterian church called Pierce Avenue.
How ironic that Super Bowl Sunday matches up with the other
thing that Buffalo is famous for --Lake
Effect snow storms of major league proportions.
I'd
like to say that I don't care that Buffalo's football team went
to the Super Bowl four years in a row and didn't win once. I
care, however, because I love this city and because I have grown
fond of its quirky residents, too.
Buffalo
does snow well, and we like it like that.
Pierce
Avenue Presbyterian Church sits in the middle of the
block, houses on all sides. About 6 inches of snow fell
on Sunday. |

our house. |
