Couple states have banned big rigs from traveling on the thru ways......it’s going to get bad as the snow is light weight and winds will create Blizzard conditions once this thing gets going.

I would guess that was likely due to the winds.

Those truckers are not slowed down at all by snow and poor visibility.

The way I saw so many of them drive in horrible conditions on I-81 in the Syracuse area was breathtaking.

I’m a real veteran in driving in bad conditions, but those guys were just suicidal.

Texas is supposed to get nailed with another cold spell next week, too.

Joe Bastardi covers this in his Saturday Summary at WeatherBell.

Just wait.

The lake effect will hit you soon.

Heck, that’s no white out.

White out is not being able to see the tail lights of the car 30 feet in front of you because of 5+ inches per hour of lake effect snow.

There were small residential streets in Buffalo that almost never saw plows due to city mismanagement.

So the residents would go out and shovel out the section of the street immediately in front of their house. Thus the whole street got cleared.

They didn’t like it but had no choice.

"Really high snow to water content values too. With the wind there ought to be lots of healthy drifts."

Drifts indeed, with such light snow (there would be less if not so cold) than as said, such light snow and such wind means only a portion of where you throw the snow goes where you aimed it. Frequently partly in your face! Praise God. Maybe get some pics later on.

We used to live in section of a dead end street and had to wait till a day or so after the storm for a plow. Meanwhile, reportedly the commander of the National Guard arrived in Boston from Buffalo and basically said, "What's the big deal?" The answer? Population density is far higher (and maybe he just saw Logan).

In PA the deeper in color and thickness of deer skins indicates how cold and bad the coming winter will be. This year their coats were darker and thicker.

So yes I think nature tells us much ahead of time.

I recall a few storms like that in N.Central Pa.....They closed the town completely down where I lived. Even after plows went thru the mode of transportation were ski-doos and arctic -cats.

I don’t even want to think of what digging m car out was like.....you had to cut into the snow three times in one spot before you hit pavement. And the storm continued for about three days so you were constantly shoveling out.

They said snow was falling at 2 inches an hour. So no wonder it didn’t look like you had done a thing! Ha!

In Pa factories have to run with half a crew because guys with snow blades on three trucks call off....they make a ton of money in a storm. Companies know this is going on but turn their heads and get by.

Growing up in Minnesota I was a paper boy. Traded out the wheeled cart for a sled some days in the winter.

Even better when Dad just “happened to be awake” at 6 am and we would put the papers in the back of the station wagon and he would cover the other half of the street!

Always love stories of Dads stepping in with their kids. My dad died when just 4 yrs old so as a kid I watched fathers with their kids a lot. Still today when I see my sons with their children I’m so proud!
