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
