My parents were going to drive up fron New Haven to see me that Thanksgiving. It started snowing the night before and by the next morning, there were 24" on the ground. Our street was impassable but the power was on. County sent a dump truck with plow to clean the street. It got stuck in a snowbank. County then sent an articulated earth mover with a blade to get the truck loose. It got it loose and then the truck banged into the electric utility pole and knocked it over. No power until the next day, when it was repaired. The streets in downtown Albany usually have so much snow from regular plowing that the snow banks were 10' along the curbs and some cars were buried in them. We had heavy snow in New Haven when I was growing up there, but not like the snow in Albany. Around here, a skiff of snow shuts down everything. An inch or two and life comes to a halt. -- Bozo Binned: Herring, Bert Robbins, JackGoff 452471atgmail.com, Just-AN-Asshole, Tim, and Gunboy Alex, aka the Gang of Dull, Witless, Insult-Tossing Trumpsters. |

I would rather just have it snow than have the sleet and freezing rain DC usually gets in these things. It is wet all day and icy all night. That is pretty scary stuff if you work nights. You can be driving along on a dry road and suddenly hit a quarter mile or more of black ice that nobody has had the thought to salt down. |

January 1964. Southern Missouri, and splats hit the windshield. I thought a little snow. Damn sleet storm, that iced over the roads, before it started snowing. 11” blizzard. Somehow, going from Route 66 to get to US40. Got lost. Natural Bridges road in Saint Louis is beautiful when covered with a blanket of ice and snow. Was told later is most dangerous part of SL. Highest point in Ohio is 1504’. No downhill skiing. Why do you need snow? Drove out the other side of the blizzard at Terra Haute. Made it to Indianapolis before having to get motel. At least the next day the roads just had a thin layer of blowing snow. Left for home the week before thanksgiving. Night before I left, first snow of the next winter. Glad to head southern route. |

Scroll down a little: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9062541/The-big-freeze-follows-big-storm-Northeast-rushes-clear-deadly-black-ice-roads.html thanks never too pressed for good stuff! These were great! mk5000 .. Roger Ailes understanding, compassion, and kindness was exemplified when I shared with Roger Ailes that I am entering into a season where I want to start my day with my children first, and Roger Ailes offered Roger Ailes blessing to do so. With a heart full of gratitude and the peace that God has given me, I am confident that this personal decision is the right one for our family, and we will be joining all of you watching' Fox Friends' each morning as we get ready for school together.==Elisabeth Hasselbeck |

My spookiest ride in the snow was a trip to Endicott. They were still building I-81 and there were some sections that were done but waiting for signage and lane paint. You could drive around the barricades and pretty much go as fast as you wanted. I did that and ran into about a foot of fresh fallen snow. With no signs, you just had to guess where the road was and my Corvette was plowing the snow over the hood. I was still going pretty fast because I knew if I stopped, I might not get going again and nobody was going to find me any time soon. I was real happy to get to the open part of the road. I hit that pile of plowed snow there at about 40. Ripped the spoiler off the Corvette but I was still rolling. |

I don't recall ever crashing though. I did a 360 in the middle of a multicar pileup at the bottom of the hill in 7 corners Va and missed everyone crashing around me. When I got pointed the right way I just kept going so I could pull that hill up the other side. That was just another day of commuting in DC, I thought. |
