Lake Effect Machine to crank up?

[Not Sure]

Was musing if you were a Native American years ago on a hunt and happened to wander into an area like this. Damn !

That's just one reason why I don't live there. In Massachustts the official snow removal policy is to be ready for 24 inches in 24 hours or 36 inches in 48 hours,

Actually massachusetts has done a really great job with snow removal over the last 2 winters. Mostly because they threaten to arrest anyone the road...but hey it works!

The kick ass job on snow removal has to do with the "OMFG" reaction dating back to the Blizzard of '78. My better half is constantly bitching about her commute in the winter as snow removal drops a notch (or three) when she crosses the border into New Hampshire.

Those of us north of the mass border appreciate this policy on big powder days

livingin tis region is always an adventure BUT here we have awesome snow removal service . Getting out and about is critical in NNY as many commute considerable distances for employment in this stuff . I only lost one work day in over 3 decades of commuting . Went theu the major blizzards of 66' 77 and the GREAT ICE storm of 98 which knocked out power for overa month to some up here

Puck it will tell ya NNY'ers are a breed apart :smile: n adaptability to extreme weather conditions. Folks up here here take it for granted and accept the situation

We certainly are. Love the snow and cold. We take whatever is thrown at us.

The travel bans in MA are for the natives that don't know how to drive in the winter. I violated it the last time it ihappended to go to Cannon. My FJ goes threw anything. I don't even put it into until it is 6". I have had it in 4' of snow and it did not even bother. It is a beast.

Down in Central NJ, for sure, but here in NW NJ they actually are pretty good. They talk about "lane miles" for plowing. Sussex and Warren have much less then Morris and they do a good job on I-80 from Parsippany west. Only the blizzard's of 93 and 96 have kept us home bound and only for 12-24 hours.

The news story is rather sensationalist but the pictures at the bottom are nuts!
