My next door neighbor had one, when I was a kid. He'd get it out whenever we got dumped on with snow.

Try not to confuse western New York with New England. We’ve been a little touchy about that here in the Champlain Valley since we evicted the “Yorkers” at the close of the 1700s. We get along OK now, but as (New Englander) Robert Frost wrote, “Good fences make good neighbors.”

We got a fair bit blowing in offa lk mi. Kids have a snow day I drove slowly in right lane to work no issues.

Problem this early in the year is roads are warm so initial snow melts and freezes so there is a thick crust of ice.

Plus dumbasses can’t remember what it was like to drive on slick roads and they go too fast and endanger those around them.

Cracks me up seeing some billybadass blow by me in his high rise GMC truck as I putter along in my Prius and then I get to wave at him in the ditch a couple miles later. Too many forget 4WD only helps ya accelerate faster it does nothing for stopping…

Dummy, it's when you make a post and forget to put any verbs in, you just go back and add 'em once the damn Yankees point it out.

I had that same experience in a Prius I had. I was driving through PA in a storm and all I did was slow down a little, and watch all the trucks just speed by, only to be found in a wreck or a ditch later on down the road.

That little Prius was a great car too.

I'm up a handful of miles east of Buffalo. We have about a foot. A few miles northeast of me has about 3ft. A few miles north of me has 3 inches. The places we hunt will have 2-3' so kinda puts a dampener on opening day tomorrow.

I see, on TV, this is being touted as a "life threatening" storm. Used to be it was just snow; happened every year.
When my daughter was based at Ft. Drum, she lived in Copenhagen, NY. We experienced their winters a couple of times. There was, indeed, significant snowfall, but it didn't strike me as being life-threatening. I spent a half day snowshoeing on a state park trail and my tracks were well-covered (at least a foot) in the four hours I spent on the trail. The bad part was that the snow was wet and sticky and kept building up on the shoes. I was thirteen years younger then. Today, it might be life-threatening.
Here, in the west, there is little snow, but it is below zero. Hard to say which is worse. I find the cold weather to be much more tolerable if there is a foot or so of snow on the ground. GD

Completely false, but not a surprising belief for someone who is proud of his Prius

Pretty sure the bean counters gonna make sure it all happens like normal and won't spare a cent on fuel, road salt, or over time pay.
And people will be having accidents, injuries, and possibly deaths cause the bean counters want to save a nickel.

Penndot is claiming massive worker shortage for plow trucks, which I believe. We had heavy snow earlier this week and there were no plows on any roads. Took me an extra hour to get home. Still dont know why people live up here and drive front wheel drive vans and expect to make it up the mountain roads. Was a [bleep]. Not looking forward to this winter

The closest ski resort here in the NC mountains is Cataloochee. They opened yesterday. They never open this early. We have real cold weather this week but no snow, they are making home made snow at Cataloochee by the ton. I bet they got 3 feet of home made snow.
