What astounds ME about the Erie area is how many people park on the street throughout the winter in a place that gets, on AVERAGE, over 100 INCHES of snow per year! I lived the first 34 years of my life further down along the edge of Lake Erie in Ohio. And we averaged only about HALF that much snow per year. And even THERE parking on the street in winter was a nightmare.
I'm very much considering moving to Erie in the future. Everytime I visit I have a good time. I live in Buffalo. Erie looks like a suburb compared to Buffalo.
