All of Genesee is still under a driving ban… so I’m not going anywhere again. Even though there are cars flying down the road at what looks like normal speed. I don’t like not going to work for snow. Makes it seem like I’m making it up. One time when I lived in Lancaster and worked in Blasdell, I couldn’t get out of my apartments driveway since it wasn’t plowed yet. We got about 3’ of snow (this is ~4-5 years ago), and down towards OP/Blasdell they just got a little dusting. I showed up to work the next day and everyone was laughing at me for not showing up because of an inch of snow -.- ---

Roads are 10x as bad today in Lancaster/Depew/Cheektowaga and Buffalo. Wet packed snow with ruts and people not understanding it’s crucial to hold momentum = shitty drive into work. I miss my Suby! ---

Wet packed snow with ruts and people not understanding it’s crucial to hold momentum = shitty drive into work. I miss my Suby! My thoughts exactly, the roads are worse today then yesterday. At least so far in the morning commute. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > Hamburg just reported in with 22" so at least they’re getting close to the 2-3 feet prediction. I’m in the south east part of West Seneca, I didn’t measure but I am around 2 feet. The snow has not stopped since Monday, we didn’t get a break all day yesterday, when the band shifted north it never went far enough to make the snow stop. ---

In all I cleared the driveway once yesterday and this morning. I’m pretty impressed with the trailblazer in the snow. Im used to my old impreza and jeep with open diff’s. I doubt it would handle anything more than 2’ of packed snow with the low ground clearance but its a bear with the blizzaks. ---

It’s up for sale. I just pm’d someone else who contacted me. I’m asking $150 for it as it’s an easy fix and has a lot of new parts. 2 stage Ariens, 5 HP I think? w/ electric start. If you are handy with carbs, it should be an easy fix. I’ll probably throw it on here and CL later today with some pictures. I want it gone from my garage pretty soon. ---

You know whats funny. I have a 30" 10hp craftsman thats 4 years old and a 24" toro from the 1970’s. The craftsman needs some carb work so I had to use the toro this time. The toro does have a newer brings motor but the rest is original.
