This snow sucks, heavy and hard. Took 3 hours to snow blow my drive way. But this is what happens when you live close to a lake. Looks pretty though. Keep safe my fellow Erie people.
My wife lived in Syracuse for ten years. She says people who live there are used to lots of snow. No one panics when an inch of snow is on the ground. She says people put their snow tires on after Columbus Day & don’t take them off until Memorial Day. They have lots of firewood incase people lose power. They all help each other. Unlike in downstate Connecticut where we live.
We have many 18 inches of snow in Edmonton Alberta but man minus 25 30 degrees celsius. You will die out there if not protected. Its the cold that kills. And it doesn't take long. If you're in your and it's out of gas or broken. And you are not prepared. You will die. And its not pleasant if you are found and lots frostbite. The pain is mindblowing. It just isn't worth risking being out unless it is dire.
God bless truckers but in all honesty...and I spent time in Erie...it is always and I mean ALWAYS the Amazon-FedEX-UPS and other pedal pusher style truckers that inevitably cause these huge log jams. The plow drivers and volunteers do a fabulous job but the truckers just won't park and wait it out.
WINTER'S SNOW & LOVE -2024** Over the heads of all I meet Falls winter's life giving snow. Upon the rooftops and the streets Filling the sky and earth below. Dancing, swirling, skimming along, Like the snows of yesteryears. There's lots of ice on the windows As my lashes freeze over with tears. It's so cold; it's too cold to snow Yet the snow continues to fall. The land is covered blanket white As the winter winds wail their call. There's a red-hot fire awaiting me That will thaw out my every part. It's not the glow of a fireplace But the love that dwells in my heart. By Tom Zart
i think i figured i spent seven hours snowblowing, yesterday, and three, today, before it (temporarily) stopped. the early lake effect storms are more difficult, because the ground is warm, so the bottom inch is all water. the lake is warm, so it snows a lot more, and the snow is warm, so it's thick and heavy, and it doesn't blow well.
We got this. Just a few woosies up in here. Dress well and hunker down it's a great time to stay put afew days. Get some things done around the house and watch some football. Thank you Kentucky is Beautiful. I have been through there a few times. cheers
it's not "want". this is just a (fairly) typical winter storm. yes, this one was a lot, but we get 3-4 major lake effect snowstorms per season. yesterday into today was probably 36-40" (just guessing, because lake effect is very localized, so some places will get 15" and some will get 40"), and even fifteen miles south of town, the snow didn't even completely cover the grass. it's inconvenient, and it can be difficult in spots, but remember, the vloggers are going where they hear the action is on the radio, and some of the spots they have (repeatedly) filmed are notoriously bad, because they get a lot of traffic, or because they're on a steep hill, or at a busy intersection, etc.
As a 40 year resident, this statement is false. I think I snowblowed twice last year. And actually the last few years have been pretty minimal. Nothing like this at all.
We get 1/16 of a inch of snow here in my town and the freaking plow/sander truck comes thru pactically scuffing up the pavement then plastering it with sand !
holiday valley usually tries to open on black friday, but this has been a warm fall. hopefully the 36-40" everyone got will get them open by next week.
I always have to laugh the stupidity you see in winter storms help people thinking they have to be out and that they can get around I would be willing to bet that more than 3/4 of them do not have to be out
The first guy with the Honda CRV is an idiot. How do you high-center a vehicle that far off of the ground? By not paying attention to the depth of the snow and how your vehicle is starting to struggle to get through it. They should have also shoveled the snow from underneath it.
My wife's best friend from Florida brought her 6 year old son to visit us here in rural Upstate New York. They flew in at night. The next morning, he was amazed at the rolling hills of our area. Fortunately, it snowed about 2" while he was here. He loved building a snowman and having a snowball fight in the yard.
Like Michigan we are ready for it. Michigan has a new weapon 3 yrs old. Pop-I screen on windshield.Satellite guidance. Takes some getting use too. Driving in a video game! Complete white out accurate to 3 inch! Hauling ass with a 17 ton snowplow at 60 mph by driving blindly in a blizzard-50F on your windshield your truck and your life depended on this video game. What exhilaration! I’m 78 I’ve done it. Car or human in road shows up red! Michigan has gale force winds with 4/inches per 45 minutes. Insane driving. Old Plow drivers called it Star Wars mom! One . Every time you turn on computer guidance it’s Star Wars with a 26-24 ton snowplow 😅. What fun . Some day on the interstate highway driverless snowplows. Michigan and Canada will do this. Michigan identifies with Canada. Our biggest border and Trading partner. We go where Canada goes! Satellite providence🤗🇺🇸🇨🇦
@frankcarone3769 It was significant yes, but we've had worse and bad drivers just made it look worse than it was. As I've commented too many times here, my wife and I did up a Target run and then went to kohl's. If it wasn't your first Erie lake effect storm, it was just meh. I even took off and went rifle hunting at 430 this morning lol.
Awd does not do good in this much snow. You need four wheel drive. Put your transmission in 1 gear. Carry sand in your car. Just a hint from some who had an 800 ft drive on a hill. My 4 runner never got stuck even when the snow was over the bumper. Good luck you guys
@ hey, there are a lot of not-locals making ignorant comments on these videos. someone out there probably thinks there is a fall/winter carnival. you know, ravine flyer black Friday marathon
90 was still closed, this afternoon. i think commercial traffic is prohibited in 90, 79, and 86, and speed limits were decreased to 45. i don't know when those restrictions will be lifted. the lake effect warning is in effect until TUESDAY.
It's because the temp. of lake Ontario is so warm from the past summer that it creates lake effect snow when the winds come out of the west. Lake enhanced can bring record snow.
@@dbyers3897 That's why the globe has been cooling for 20yrs and the polar bears are exploding. In the 70s, they told us we were going into a mini ice age. All the hot temps that we are breaking are from before 1950s and late 1800s. It was hotter back then. Do some research.
@@LeeLee-ls1jd Nice hypothesis. But the temps have been hotter before 1950s and late 1800s. It was hotter then than now. Global Warming is a globalist scheme to tax and control you. Wake up.
I don't think you would like it. There is this thing called hypothermia that can make ya die. It's not only very snowy but the wind chill is in the single digits. The heavy snow will collapse roofs. It's very dangerous.
No worries, our government just spent $6 Trillion tax dollars on combating global warming. In Colorado here I just got 3.5 feet on my homestead and was caught unprepared with no tire chains on my plow truck. After 3 trips plowing out 5 mile private road I put it in the ditch. Jerked it out with my loader and chained up, problems solved, life back to normal. Most of these folks would have been just fine if they had chained their drive wheels before venturing out. Lesson I learned.
I'm getting cold just watching them trying to shovel all that snow!
Stay safe everyone!
I'm living right in the middle of downtown and I can assure you that yes it is chaos, but strangers are helping strangers everywhere
This snow sucks, heavy and hard. Took 3 hours to snow blow my drive way. But this is what happens when you live close to a lake. Looks pretty though. Keep safe my fellow Erie people.
In central Pennsylvania we are deeply feeling the aftermath
In Titusville there is literally no snow. PA weather is crazy.
Looks pretty. Spit my coffee, thanx.
@@tommidd8042 The young folks up here in NW PA that says they want an old fashioned winter doesn't know what they are talking about.
its been a fun 36 hours.
although, the sun came out around 2, and it hasn't snowed, since.
lake effect warning until Tuesday...
I love seeing the beautiful snow..... from THE WARM SOUTH!! 😎😀
I hear you and concur!
Thanks LSM for your usual excellent capture in which you brave all manner of bad weather to bring it to our desktops.
I have an idea. Stay home and live, talk to your wife and kids, do not wreck your car nor have a heart attack shoveling snow.
I wish that was a possibility for essential workers. They often have to drive in it plus shovel around the work buildings
You sound privileged
Have to shovel or snow blow to get out at some point
Or just learn how to drive. My wife and I went on a target run and then to Kohl's last night right in the middle of it. I've seen worse.
Remember what you have in your hand that you call a snow shovel. It is really a heart attack on a stick.
Prayers from Western North Carolina in another disaster area.
Know you're in a much colder place.
Empathy hugs and respect ❤️
Haven't seeing this much snow since the 70's.
Thank you truckers.
Tow truck drivers should be making bank today.
My wife lived in Syracuse for ten years. She says people who live there are used to lots of snow. No one panics when an inch of snow is on the ground.

All good for this Erie family. Driveway and front walks are done. Now on to decorating the tree and making potato leek soup with bacon for strength!
@@OldJackWolf We did chili and margaritas.

Bigfoot area.
LOL, running out of Beer is a dire Emergency.
The only place snow belongs is on a calendar 😂
I like it on screen savers.
Yup, exactly. That’s why I moved to a warmer climate. Haven’t seen snow ❄️ in 7 years. You can have your change of seasons.
That looks like heavy, wet snow, NOT powder!!! Take care everyone!
It's like the snow we usually get in Washington State
@watkinsinc.7147 I'm in Colorado. We get more powder than the heavy wet stuff.
Lake effect snow is moist & sticky. It's like driving in creamy mud.
@@valerier4308 I remember the Colorado winters and I agree.
The drier snow is much easier to deal with in driving and skiing
That's what I was thinking. The worst kind.
Im in Canada and we got about 18 inches last night and still snowing tonight as well,Crazy!!
I'm in Port Dover, Ontario directly opposite Erie PA on Lake Erie and the sun is shining and no snow at all. That's the reality of lake effect snow
on Lake erie in northeast Ohio. got hit pretty hard yesterday not bad today
Streets in Toronto GTA are bare and clean.
I live in Florida. I’m thankful for that!!
I’d rather have snow than live in that hideous state 😂😂😂
I’d shovel 10ft of snow rather than live Florida. Snow melts eventually, hurricanes destroy shit. And you have a douchebag governor.
I'll take snow over hurricanes any day.
it's a balmy 63 on cocoa beach! and i think it's chilly.

The problem is, you don't know WHAT they're carrying that just MIGHT be critical for someone.
Bring back memories 1977 in NY.
And '66.
Gee, the weather was fine when I was there in June.
LOL!!
Go back. 🤣

Too funny!
I bet it was..lol
WINTER'S SNOW & LOVE -2024**
Over the heads of all I meet
Falls winter's life giving snow.
Upon the rooftops and the streets
Filling the sky and earth below.
Dancing, swirling, skimming along,
Like the snows of yesteryears.
There's lots of ice on the windows
As my lashes freeze over with tears.
It's so cold; it's too cold to snow
Yet the snow continues to fall.
The land is covered blanket white
As the winter winds wail their call.
There's a red-hot fire awaiting me
That will thaw out my every part.
It's not the glow of a fireplace
But the love that dwells in my heart.

Looks brutal !...😮
I'm in erie it is brutal. Erie county was declared snow disaster
@dionblasco727 cold, ice & snow can be so devastating...Stay safe there...🙏✨

the early lake effect storms are more difficult, because the ground is warm, so the bottom inch is all water. the lake is warm, so it snows a lot more, and the snow is warm, so it's thick and heavy, and it doesn't blow well.
I hope everyone has power
yes, i don't think anyone lost power. we usually don't during snowstorms.
People in gitard lost power
@@dreadpirates_ when? for how long? just curious.
and nice spelling of fairview west/south lake city, lol
Yeah, harder in wet snow, take care!
Brings back alot of memories shoveling the never-ending snow.
It’s beautiful to look at but I wouldn’t want to be in it
Stay safe everyone from Kentucky
We got this. Just a few woosies up in here. Dress well and hunker down it's a great time to stay put afew days. Get some things done around the house and watch some football. Thank you Kentucky is Beautiful. I have been through there a few times. cheers
And this is why I moved to South Carolina!!
Smart people.😊
I do not miss that .....stuff.
Been outta there since 1980, and do not miss that weather, AT ALL!
Where would anybody possibly want to go in this type of weather event?
it's not "want". this is just a (fairly) typical winter storm. yes, this one was a lot, but we get 3-4 major lake effect snowstorms per season. yesterday into today was probably 36-40" (just guessing, because lake effect is very localized, so some places will get 15" and some will get 40"), and even fifteen miles south of town, the snow didn't even completely cover the grass.
it's inconvenient, and it can be difficult in spots, but remember, the vloggers are going where they hear the action is on the radio, and some of the spots they have (repeatedly) filmed are notoriously bad, because they get a lot of traffic, or because they're on a steep hill, or at a busy intersection, etc.
My wife and I took a trip to Target and then Kohls lol. I've seen worse.
I send my prayers to you 🙏
I see the snowplough and think of my Dad he lived for this weather 😊
From NYC to PA my heart goes out to you guys. I hope everyone is safe and try to stay indoors 🫶🏾🙏🏾
Thank you. Southern PA here just above the Maryland border and not a single flake and very beautiful day but cold.
You have no clue what a snow storm is.
Would be great if this is it for the winter. We have had plenty.
Wow! We're about 90 miles southeast. We got about 2 inches. Nothing like this. This is nuts.
@@ArnoldsDesign we are in the Syracuse area. The sun was out all day. No snow but it was chilly
even fifteen miles south just had a dusting.
It's from the lake
90 miles southeast? Lmfao, you'll never get this lol.
NOTHING NEW FOR THIS AREA ! End of lake, they ALWAYS, ALWAYS !get it like this ! !

As long as I just see it and don't have to live in it .
You know it's not going to be a good day when you see tow trucks with snow plows on the front. Triple A, my aas. I'ma walkin'.
Yeas and I wonder how many plows are broke down too.
cripple A.
In Northeastern PA we don't even have any snow on the ground. You guys can have this stuff!
Its good for the ski resorts here. And the ice fishermen haven't been out on the lake for years, so I'm glad we have the white stuff now.
@@OldJackWolf I do feel badly for the ski resorts here but it's cold enough now that they can make snow. We had an incredibly mild Fall.
We live 32 miles south in Titusville and we have green grass.
@@Buddha-of8fk Pretty much the same here.

I hate snow! Pretty to look at somewhere else!
S'all right. Snow don't like you much either. Happy trails, Linda. We have your license number. 😆
I’m trying to reach you for your shoves extended warranty
The video I'm looking at looks like about a foot of snow? But is it actually 30 inches?
Bless their hearts I hope that everyone is staying warm!
is that like 2 feet of snow? wow
Looks more like 6"
Ain't over, yit.
4 feet in north east pa no exaggerating
we got 30", yesterday. lake effect warning until tuesday. not kidding.
This is what happens when stupid people think summer tires will go through snow.....
True, I've seen people drive $70k vehicles with worn out all seasons in the winter. Idiots
This looks really rough!
Tell your boss to stuff it. Stay home. Not worth it smashing your car up because you needed something stupid at the store
Or just drive for the conditions, my Durango ate this storm up.
The first guy with the Honda CRV is an idiot. How do you high-center a vehicle that far off of the ground? By not paying attention to the depth of the snow and how your vehicle is starting to struggle to get through it. They should have also shoveled the snow from underneath it.
Praise the lord
Yes, I'm sure He/She/They had something to do with this mess.
I'm so glad that I spread Dowflake before the snow. My driveway is clean but doesn't really do me any good since the highway is a disaster.
Not to cold out yet .
Jingle bells
Winter sucks
Give me sun and warmth
I want to swim with the fish
Not freeze my azz with Jack frrrrossst
It does help to have snow tires

Well dam that sucks glad we never get snow like that and this early to wow
