The OP is experienced and more importantly, prepared for the snow and called it quits out of self preservation most likely. Consider this OP to be a huge minority when it comes to Winter as well. [/quote] winter is a joke, you guys down there freak out over a lil ice [/quote] haha so true! I've got a buddy in Texas and she straight up just says that Americans don't get enough bad winter weather to actually get used to it or learn how to properly drive in it, which makes sense. For us Canadians the weather is either shitty and full of snow, or it's the summer for all of 12 hours. Personally? I can't get used to warm weather and it feels like I've spend most of my life in a winter climate dressed up like a fucking eskimo. [/quote] Actually if you look at weather stats, you guys don’t get shit compared to us because you don’t have moisture. Just like your women unless they encounter a strapping buck American. Canada May be cold but it doesn’t get much snow. Some of you may claim to be veterans of shit weather but you usually live right on the US border. [/quote]
Original Message
I welcome a good snow storm.
This one however was pretty brutal along the shores of Lake Erie. 40+ mph sustained winds off the lake with 5 foot high drifts.
As a side gig I plow snow and have a pretty substantial truck with blizzard rated tires. Half way through my route I called it quits. State, city, and county plows couldn’t keep up. I had to stop on main roads and study the drifts to see if I could make it through them. They were as high as the hood of my truck. This means that no matter how high I raise the plow I’m going to get a breaking wave of snow over my cab and windshield.
A 20 minute drive took me 4 hours. Not a soul on the roads. Except me. Driving through these drifts was like mud bogging. I had to stand on the gas. My truck was floating on snow in zero visibility. Had no idea where the road was. I could see the tops of mailboxes through the hurricane-like winds.
When I was a kid we got hit so hard my old man had to roll out of the kitchen window and tunnel his way to the door so we could open it. This storm wasn’t that bad but it definitely kicked ass.
