Winter is the time of year that many people use their porch to store extra food but, is it actually safe to do this? In some cases yes, and in other cases, no.

It's going to be cold this weekend in Buffalo.  So what do we do?  Sit around and complain about it?  Well, probably.  But we could also do something fun while it's cold. I prefer the latter.  So I came up with a list of five things that you could try if you really wanted to stick it in mother nature's face that she can't hold us down...  ...

I was listening to the Breakfast Club talk to Rob Schneider this morning and they started out by talking about what most celebrities tend to notice about Buffalo...the weather.  I heard Rob say that even the birds know to stay away when it's this cold.  Now I see why.  Look at how the Los Angeles media covers the "cold" temps in their weather forecasts.
