Lot of the trucks took the town roads since the interstate closures. Interesting to see if it worked out to save lives or just slowed egress? No matter the weather, there’s always a foreign driver trying to make a few Pennie’s while their carrier pushes them along. Poor guys are usually never own real cold weather cloths like carhartts or such.

You get lake effect snow in Georgia? Because if you are trying to compare it to a hurricane there isn't a comparison.
A hurricane is a hundred miles wide, while lake effect snow is 15 miles wide. It is literary 5 inches of snow at the house, but 50 at the yard and 10 at the shipper and 1 at the receiver.
Now think of that variation in such a small area and tell me we knew 4 days ahead.
What we know is the area was going to get hit. What we did not know is were we going to get hit with 5 inches of snow, or 50 inches. We also didn't know if Buffalo was getting hit, or north of Buffalo, or south of Buffalo or all of it.Last edited: Nov 20, 2022

If there's bad weather coming make sure you aren't there for it! Turn down loads if you have to!
