Living in upstate New York and getting slammed big time by a major snowstorm sweeping across the state (5 to 12 inches). Tried to get to work and just did a 360 degree turn on a major highway. I'm still shaking. Thankfully I was the only idiot on the road trying to get to work. I'd lived in Florida most of my life so having a "snow day" is rather unusual for me.....hah. Anyway, hence the reason for this thread. Anyone having probs of the same sort?
Sorry to her about the 360. Must have been terrifying. The UK had some big snow days before Xmas. Good for the first day then the novelty sort of wears off. Hope you're not stuck for long!
In England we had quite a bit of snow after Christmas (early January I think). Nearly all the minor roads in my area were covered in ice and snow, which meant that only 4x4s and cars with snow chains could use them safely. I had one minor crash and witnessed another crash immediately after, nobody was injured though.
I live in Upstate NY too!!! and I also lived in florida for a long ass time... Car got stuck in my driveway and the plows just added insult to injury by throwing about 4 feet high by 3 feet wide snow piles behind my car....thanks guys! /sarcasm. Where a about do you live in NY? Anywhere south of Albany?
In Connecticut we've gotten pummeled. I think we've gotten 5-6 feet total. The worst was 23 inches in one day.
I grew up in the finger lakes region which is central NY. We've met before when you first came onto the TA scene. Traded a couple posts on NY. But yea, I was in Orlando/Leesburg, FL for most of my life and forgotten how to drive in snow. I might mention that there was a 20 ft drop off where my car was spinning at the time to make me almost crap at load. Not sure if there were even guardrails but wouldn't have helped since they would have been buried and easy to slid over at the time. The roads are STILL being plowed non-stop from this morning. I could never imagine what its like with 5 or 6 ft of snow while living in Conn. (let alone drive in it)
I live in CT and it's not really five feet of snow. We've had a lot of storms that each dump a foot or two and it all gets plowed away into huge snowbanks. And the snow compacts itself so it's only about three feet all anyways. Plus it just rained so that washed away a lot of snow. But the good news is that we have ten foot tall snowbanks all around town.
Yea im in the twin tiers right on the border... we got tons of snow too... couldnt even get out of the driveway. It was like a mountain at the end of the driveway from plowed snow off the road
HaHa.....nice video. Amazing how a little mouse can scare the crap out of Berkshire (?) horses let alone pull a huge milk truck. Wonder if its full.
