Description

My recollections of the "Snovember" lake effect event, an incredibly paralyzing  storm, impacting the southern half of Buffalo and its eastern and southern suburbs.

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
