  • Huge 77" snowfall from record-breaking lake effect snow emergency swamps the Buffalo Bills Highmark Stadium and forces the game to be moved to Detroit tomorrow! Vehicles buried. Lake effect snow plume lifted north to Niagara Falls today but is forecast to come back south. This is the dig out, damage survey, and pivot to chase this astounding, electrified lake effect snow plume.

      I've got a cousin who used to plow every winter, now he does work on the trucks and gets paid double for what he considers to be half the work. He's told me numerous times how hard it is to plow roads and he really impressed upon me the amount of work that goes into it.
      I really admire plow drivers now, knowing that when they're understaffed, that doesn't mean they get the day off...it just means they work harder until there's more staff to help. I also know never to get in one's way, because some of those drivers are running 24+ hours on fast food and energy drinks, missing their families, and looking for any excuse to go home, up to and including a minor accident with an inattentive driver.

A truck rated for below 26,000 GVW, these are large moving trucks, box trucks, etc. requires between 60 and 120 inputs per minute to navigate a straight highway and stay within its lane. A person sitting down typing for 24 hours straight could not type more words than it takes inputs for a truck driver just to navigate a straight highway.

      Out of curiosity - where are you geographically that snow is unavailable? I know many areas are somewhat distant from any potential precipitation of that sort… only places I could think of that’d make snow nearly impossible are some pacific islands and most of Australia - as there’s that one weird bump lol. But there are a number of far-flung places that cannot support the fluffy precipitation… and yours?

      The Midwest does this also when snows get this bad. Neighbors ban together in shoveling parties. The elderly or those unable to help with the job,provide hot drinks and usually bake some cookies.EVERYONE works together to help fix the problem. The govt can not do it all. IT is an impossible task. Govt plows/Dump trucks work on the main roads to hospitals, emergency centers, then main roads, the primary secondary roads are next, then the areas around schools. Residential areas are last. They clear the areas with the greatest number of people within a square half mile. Shoveling parties are fun. Use plastic laundry baskets to move snow. Attach rope of something to pull it with. Have kids over five help with filling these laundry baskets, then older kids can slide them, and dump them. IF they take them to an area and start laying these blocks out like masonry/bricks, they make really cool snow forts for the kids. Some older kids (with scouts) with their dads use to put a tarp over it and use it as a overnight scout adventure. These things lasted until spring thaw. Lived in DC, where occasionally huge dumpers hit. Refugees who never saw snow would marvel and then pitch in using large plastic bowls or buckets to carry and dump snow. Sure was more efficient snow removal than walking a snow shovel back and forth. Then one of them hauled out a couple of laundry baskets and the lightbulb went off. It wasn’t just moving snow from one side of the street to another. It was an organized, concerted effort that neatly cleaned out the roadway in back of the parked cars all the way out to the other side. And stacked neater than a plow could, in half the time. Was grateful for the wake up call. Used this technique ever since. Be safe shoveling one and all!

      From Summit County, Ohio. I remember that one. Every 4-5 hours we went out and shoveled to keep an opening 5-7 ft wide on the 75 ft long driveway. It looked like a toboggan Shute. It was piled higher than my head at 5ft. Was told by neighbors that East of Uniontown, they had to bring earth movers in (what’s used to build freeways) to clear 20 ft tall drifts and when the snow/winds died down, helicopters were brought in to evacuate some of the Amish farms in the area. Four feet of snow on the ground, worse in drifted areas. Took us 4 days to dig our driveways and the street out so one lane was open and one car at a time could use it. Areas were created to pull over or pull off to let another car pass. By day five, the big plows came in to the suburban areas under county jurisdiction. They were surprised to see our subsection efficiently cleared for single cars to get out. They stopped and asked, so we told him- shoveling party! Gave them hot coffee and bag of cookies and with one pass on either side, the snow was plowed all the way back to the berm. That winter of 1978 will go down in the history books!

      I don't think any area got 77 invhed. I think the person that measured maybe measured a drift or an area where a snow plowed.. I think someone just wanted to be first in the amount of snow they got so they sensationalized it a little bit. But you are exactly right 3 to 4 ft is what I see.

    • @joeblow26
      @joeblow26 Год назад

      Now you're talking, Lake Tahoe does get massive amounts of snow but unfortunately this storm in Buffalo didn't really drop 77". I think they are sensationalizing just to get news coverage of the area and who knows maybe even claim a disaster area and get something from FEMA. I've been through a lot of big storms in my life and what I see here is about 4 ft maybe 5 ft tops in a few places. But Lake Tahoe can get 70/80 in easily in a couple of days storm when the moisture blows in off the ocean and catches those mountains!

    They definitely got a lot of snow but it is more likely between 3 and 4 feet. 77 inches of snow would completely bury cars making them non visible. Regardless stay safe and have fun digging out.

    • @joeblow26
      @joeblow26 Год назад +1

      You know something, I looked through the comments and yours was the only other comment that mirrored mine which kind of cast doubt on this 77 inches story. You can see it right on the videos that the snow isn't over these people's heads which would mean they must stand over 7 ft tall 🙂. Not sure why they would sensationalize how much snow they got other than to get news attention or maybe FEMA to kick in with natural disaster money? But you are right probably only 3 to 4 ft,. I've been a little more lenient saying 4 ft to maybe 5 ft in spots..

    Also from the snow belt area of NY. Can't stand it whenever we get a snow storm the rest of the world in the Comments section think we're all going to die. We've had freezing temps for the past couple weeks and now that we have snow the world is worried if we are capable of heating our homes? The world is worried we can't drive in this stuff? Worried we're going to starve? And we're too stupid to bring our pets inside? This doesn't look like more than 2-3 ft to me. Everyone's dug out by now having lunch at their favorite sports bar if they're not out snow mobiling. I've been out for hours in it getting my front yard skating rink started. Give it a rest people. We do own jackets, hats, mittens and boots. This is how we live - every winter.
