Since when is snow in Buffalo an emergency?

I’d like to know. Because as far as I know, it snows there every year.

Yep, I’m right. Buffalo gets about 93.6 inches of snow per year.

So why is it that President Bush has directed FEMA to make $5,000,000 available for cleanup.

Earth to everyone: The lowest temperature in Buffalo, according to Accuweather, is going to be above freezing for the next 9 consecutive days, including daily highs AND nightly lows.

And if you count out the one day where it will meet freezing– Tuesday, October 24– it appears as though Buffalo will be well above freezing for the next 15 days.

So let’s see–

Can FEMA and the Bush administration spend money faster than snow melts?

Someone start keeping score.
