SNOW FAIL [Lake Effect Storm Dec 2nd, 2010]

My turn.

The dealership got pounded with snow and this is the result:

This is just one of the many snow piles this place has right now:

I can not believe how much more snow there is in Hamburg by Lowes then at my house 5 miles away. Hamburg is still nothing compared to other places. I went to ECC South to rip it up only to see a Hamburg cop in the parking lot-figures the ONLY lot with nice snow had a cop there. McKinley was HORRIBLE, it was like driving in a mine field.

… Will someone explain to iPhone users how to TURN THE DAMN PHONE when they take video? :ham:

Southwestern wasn’t any better. I had to go down to tractor supply and get some boots for the lot guy because he was wearing work boots and got soaked. There were crators in the road, but it was actually just the road.

That’s about how big mine is too on Cayuga Creek. Just saw a cop, and 2 backhoes driving around digging places out.

All the pics I took with my phone showed up like shit and aren’t worth showing.

To work Storage Garage, To N. Buffalo, Back to Garage, 930 to 145/330-545, talk about unproductive day, Normally probably an hour total or less to truck, to site, than an hour total or less to storage, to home.

Biggest problem? Mayor Brown had this great idea of putting up road blocks with ID check points at entrances to South Buffalo to make sure you lived there, otherwise you were denied entry into the 3rd Reich of Buffalo.

Why that was done instead of plowing and keeping the main route of 16 clean and clear to the 190 to help smooth over the closed 400 and 90 interchange (tractor trailers began to get stuck as traffic stopped), I will never know. I made it almost as far as Blasdell Pizza (Edson St) before I sat for a good hour with traffic stopped in both directions. Was tempted to say fuck it and park at the Blue Wall for a Cold one. The people coming the other way said it was completely stopped for miles ahead because of the “road block” and then of course someone got stuck going the other way.

Some flurries, seemed like it was going to get bad in N. Bflo but then the sun tried to come out.

Home was easier(~545-7ish)

My Z71 Sierra last night, today, had no problem carving and going through the snow, then again I have tools and such for weight, which is why I think a lot of trucks do poorly. I had fun looking for berms to go through, over, up hills, my tires arn’t even new.

Here’s a nice picture of both of my adventure vehicles today:

Nokian Hakkas for ALL!

I didn’t read the thread but the pictures bobby posted are weak. I have been out since 6 am pushing cars and digging in south buffalo. It took over 3 hours to clear the driveway I will post pics when I am more rested. We have about 3 feet of snow here.

Jdmsir pics look like some of what I have.

I know my pictures weren’t that great, but if you would have seen how much snow was actually removed, it was crazy!

holy sh*t, glad im not up north!! down in southern pa all we had was rain :slight_smile:

wtf. I am about to drive to buffalo just to play in some snow. rochester has an inch or so. LAME

I live on Shenandoah, when i got home from work I was buried. my good neighbor was out snowblowing so he did it for me. I walked up to the corner store to get him some beer and frigging had to get three stuck cars out. I work at the sewer authority so if city hall is not closed I have to work. There was not a drop of snow at work today.

I just got done driving around S. Buffalo and i have to say if plows were actually out doing something it would not be bad at all but instead i saw about 8 sitting in the tops parking lot and a moron holding up traffic on clinton because they got stuck trying to leave McDonalds. as soon as i hit cheektowaga/depew the roads were completely fine and very driveable

come to depew, you can help get the towns plow trucks unstuck in the snow. I never saw a plow truck stuck in snow till they tried to come down my street.lol

Yeah I chuckled when I saw one trying to get down a side street off Mineral Springs, had the “ramming speed” attitude, eventually got going though. Never seen a plow do a rolling burnout till then.

I doubt the e30 will do much plow truck pulling. awd drifts? fo sho!

i have been shoveling my car out since i last posted lol. fml

and now my one tire i see is bald, and my rear one is flat?? wtf?

Should i just buy 3 new all seasons, or get some snows?

the allseasons are 200$ total for 3 mounted and balanced, and theyre falken sincera sn828’s which i dont even know how good of a tire they are for anything, but they were closest to my other tires tread pattern so i bought them lol

snows will be like 320$ mounted and balanced


Not us but still funny
