snowpocalypse on lake erie?

doesnt it snow up there.....like every year?
people loose there good sense with huge lake effect snow?
hope no one freezes to death
Yep, and every year you have tons of people who forget during summer how to react to snow, especially sizeable amounts. When I worked in the bodyshop while going to college the best week of the year was first real snowfall. Boy were the cars piled up in the yard. Made more after that week than for months prior.

Couple weeks ago was the anniversary of the blizzard of 78, boy I remember that one. Earliest big lake effect storm since I started driving in 75 in my memory.

(y) Me to the boy. " You have lived in Maine all your life, you have 3 adult children, and your still not smart enough to remember to SLOW DOWN for the first snow and the rest of the winter. What to 🤬 "

snowpocalypse :rolleyes:

do much fear mongering do we? polar vortex, super storm, once in a hundred year storm (again for the 6th year in a row), remember when it was called weather? 🤬 holes.
 
Well they must scare monger the climate BS somehow. @bc22wm if you're old enough to remember, in the mid 70's we were headed towards a new ice age. Everybody all the way down to Tennessee was worried they were going to be under 40 ft of glacial ice....😂😂
And they scared the crap out of me. Especially when on the 1st earth day, we were told the world would run out of fossil fuels by the years 2000. As hard as it is too believe, I was more gullible then than now. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

i remember my grade school teacher telling us how texas would be the new northern ice belt etc, and something along the lines of 100% metric
 
live in Erie, right in the center of it.
Yes, we get a lot of snow every year. Between us, Buffalo and Syracuse, it's terrible.
Some people always forget how to drive every year.
Some are new drivers; this is their first real snow.
Some don't have snow tires or haven't put them on yet.
A lot of people stuck are in cars which don't have the ground clearance.
Friday, I had to take my daughter to work - I was off, she wasn't. It should have been a 20 minute trip each way - took about two hours. Same thing picking her up. Took me half an hour to do what should have been 5 minutes.
We have AWD SUVs but no snows. We can get along fine, but it's the visibility from the blowing and getting around stuck cars.
But when you get 3 feet in 48 hours, there's not much you can do. There's no where to put it when shovel, and plows can't keep up. I live in the city limits, but on a side road. A plow has been down once. Which really just buried cars in and blocked the ends of driveways.
There are huge ruts going down on road which makes it very difficult.
We have spent hours each day Friday and yesterday, and I still have another vehicle that is completed buried.

This is my work vehicle which I haven't had a chance to do anything with except brush the snow off of it




This is how my neighbor had to have his driveway plowed. Thankfully for him he has family that owns a construction business. The guy did our intersection and part of our road

You guys sure do get hammered, and I can sympathize, had frost bite, back ache, a swore like a sailor to prove it. Yet, I'm betting it's not your first rodeo or your last. I know it won't be mine here in Maine. Apocalypse? :rolleyes: ;)
 
The snow in N Maine is what forced mom to say enough is enough and dad moved us all to Texas.

True that-“the sky is falling” seems the mantra of the left. Has to be some sort of catastrophe to distract the peons-otherwise they might actually pay attention to realty.
 
I'll take this snow vs. hurricanes in the south, tornadoes in the Midwest or the extreme hat in the southwest.

We did get my car out and move it to a spot on the road my daughter's car had been in, and got her car in the driveway with ours. Took my wife and I 1 hour and I had to go around the block to get to the spot that was only like 30 feet behind me because the ruts in the road were so bad I couldn't back up the road

We did manage to get to WalMart yesterday to get some stuff we needed as we had planned on doing our shopping Friday evening. It really wasn't bad being in an all wheel drive SUV but people in cars were struggling
