We haven’t had much snow since I bought my H3 this past January but that can change in a heart beat around here. We get “lake effect” snow off of Lake Erie here in Western New York and the snow bands can sometimes be just a mile or two wide dumping feet of snow on a community and nothing just a few miles away.

About 5 years ago we had one of those events and in my neighborhood we got about 6” of snow while some communities just 5 miles away got up to 12 feet of snow! It started snowing on Christmas Eve and snowed non-stop for 3 days. The City of Buffalo was like one giant parking lot. The only mode of transportation was snowmobile. The snowplows had no place to plow the snow. Actually it was kinda nice. Forget about driving everyone had to walk everywhere and you actually got to meet your neighbor.

 

Hey alphadog! I see you live in a snowbelt too! I'm right on Lake ontario so I definately know what ya mean! We're usually on the news a few times during the winter. Ever hear of Oswego? Woke up to 3ft of the fluffy stuff last week, let me tell ya the H3 ate it right up without a slip! Nice to know someone out there knows what it's like!

Sometimes in Socal I can see snow in the mountains.

 

Mt Baldy?

 

J9,

Oswego! Oh man, I've worked at all three powerhouses out at Nine Mile Point! I was a pipefitter/welder and I helped build Unit 2 and worked on Unit 1and the Fitzpatrick Plant during refueling several times. You guys get way more snow then we do but know how to handle it. Oswego's apartying town. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

The little snowball's name is Coffee....I bought him for my parents a few years ago....he loves the snow!
We are supposed to get more snow here tomorrow night and into Weds.....I'll try and take another pic with my Alpha this time!

 

Small world! Live right out here on 104, bout a mile away from the plant!We're getting a little storm right now as we speak..should get up to a ft by morning. Not worried. Last year I owned a Dodge Durango Hemi..it sucked in the snow. As did many other problems. I'm pretty pleased with this trucks' performance. Glad I opted for the Bridgestones! Going up to get my lights fixed Saturday. Hopefully they'll get it right this time.
