People from Buffalo hear it all year – over the phone or while traveling: “Buffalo? Got snow there?”

The answer, still: “Why, yes!”

Two piles remain in one abandoned lot where trucks dumped it after a freak November storm buried neighborhoods in so much snow – 7 feet fell in spots – that crews had nowhere else to put it.

“I tell my customers; `You want ice cubes? Go get them,'” Eugene Kiszelewski, who owns the G&T Inn across the street, said Tuesday as the temperature climbed past 80 degrees.
