I only feel bad for the truckers as they are not out there for fun; they are delivering food and goods to America and deserve our full support. God bless every trucker on the road tonight!
Aww! Thanks! So nice to hear that. We always get the finger so compliments are much appreciated!
Thanks for the support an old trucker
Growing up in a family that had drivers, Dad & 3 uncles- I 2nd that comment.. They need balls of steel . Mostly in these conditions.
My brother & couple cousins drives now. My brother don't need to worry as much, he drives for Honda stays in state. But cousins are cross country.
May God be with all Drivers in this type weather across our country.
And very under paid.
Best comment by far GOD bless you & all the Truck drivers who are
delivering vital supplies to the people risking their lives. 🕊🙏❤
Doesn't matter if you have winter tires and awd, if your car is too low and bottoms out in the snow, it's not going anywhere.
Survival of the smartest, they are the ones staying home...
I know, most of these vehicles getting in trouble, I ask myself " what are these idiots doing out on the road, we have had days to prepare for this".
Can be medical workers. You have to go in one way or another. If you can't drive, someone will come get you.
This storm over preformed in Ohio. We were expecting 6-8 inches and got a foot to two feet of snow all along the Eastern areas of Ohio.
It changed from freezing rain to snow in just minutes and accumulated immediately.
My area had over an inch in less than an hour. And that was at 6pm. We had heavy accumulating snow all night long.
Wow!
It was the same on the other side of the border 🥶
Nam
Wayne County went from a winter weather advisory to a warning at 2 AM. Then they wound up extending it until 1 PM. We were under a Level 2. My town's been digging out.
was wondering why erie was expecting 18-24 and ashtabula only 6-10 - why anyone thought that there would be such a huge difference at state line (forecasted in an hour for sunday's storm)
Salute to my fellow truckers who decided to park it.
Like me. I drive after the snow plows have done their job, not before. Lol
@@jeremyholt8671 some people only see 100 miles, not the whole trip. Salute to you and stay safe.
That’s why I have a refrigerator microwave and plenty of food on my truck . And always keep the tanks full . Keep the shiny side up drivers .
Did the same here, made sure I had water as well for myself and the pooch.
What about heat?
@@woke2truth452 that’s why I keep my tanks full of fuel
@@woke2truth452 APU, auxiliary power unit, provides heat, a/c & the diesel ones keep the batteries charged.
If your vehicle is the size of a roller skate stay home. If you are not doing an emergency act stay home. In 78 a group of us went out in that snow. It was a group in Jeep’s with a ton of recovery equipment with us. We pulled out several vehicles that were stuck. It was a party for us. All 18-19 years old 4 wheel drive was not on most vehicles. Be safe. Be prepared. 🇺🇸
My parents & I lived in Columbus Ohio in 78. I personally don't remember much of the blizzard; I was 4 going on 5 that year. That did them in & we moved to South Bay in Southern California.
The Golf R would have made it, but I bet he had summer tires...
@@jamesr2888 swimming pools movie stars....ha
I appreciate people with vehicles like yours who are willing to help rather than laugh at stuck cars, but I think people often overlook clearance versus 4 x 4 or all wheel drive as being the biggest benefit in snow. The drivetrain is most helpful when you are already stuck, the clearance can help you avoid being stuck in the first place. The biggest problem I’ve always run into in my car is the height. But I can get up nearly any hill in the snow, my tires will definitely be spinning, but the traction control on my vehicle is actually a help versus a hindrance like it is on some cars where it cuts all the power. I’ve even seen low-slung Subarus get stuck in snow drifts. But where the all-wheel-drive comes in handy is being able to back out of them. The few times I have gotten stuck I did not have that benefit..
@@1fromtheroad Lol. Yep. Also, the mountains, the beaches, palm trees & wonderful weather.
I'll never understand why people go out in this weather?? It must've been forecast days in advance so why put lives at risk?
Beats me?, all's i can think of is they might have important jobs to go to. Like if a person works at a hospital, l I would think the hospital would house the doctors or nurses until the storm passes I'm sure they have accommodations.
@@tj8771 no, they don't.
I guess people think they absolutely have to be some where, but when you get stuck or in an accident, then you realize your "absolutely" just went away. And it angers me that they put more people in harm's way, like police and other rescue workers. Boils down to "absolutely" no wisdom.
Gotta go ice fishing, got fish to catch , made it fine in my jeep. Not my fault these idiots take out their 2wd cars with 6 inches of ground clearance
Exactly, meteorologists forecasts is some of the most reliable content available. When have they steered you into a snowy ditch without letting you know first. 🤣
I’m from Ashtabula Ohio, totally love it ,,, it was nice to have a snow day and stay home
I’ll never forget getting caught in a lake effect heavy snow event entering Ashtabula over 5 years ago.Never experienced such heavy intense snow in my life.
Its the belt
@@Iceis_Phoenix whats the belt?
@@adamr3028 The belt is basically the snow belt that we live on being so close to Lake Erie. We get alot more snow, lower temps and higher winds compared to other places. It's called Lake Effect Weather. It can be deadly if you're not careful.
I’m in Erie, PA and it’s bad here too
I’m an hour away in Geneva 21 inches 😳
Suga T Good ole lake effect snow!
North Madison wasn't much better. I decided to stay home from work as my Mazda was buried almost up to the door handles. I wasn't taking any chances
Cute awd VW golf bro. 4wd doesnt work in a foot of snow if your car is only 4 inches off the ground 😄
I'm supposed to be there right now. The Lord does work in mysterious ways.....
Just went through that on my drive home late last week. Had to drive through a foot of snow on the highway, and a couple of feet in town. Barely made it home.
Lol I love watching people with 4 inches of ground clearance have troubles driving in 8 inches + of snow. But Definitely looks like a good storm! I wish it would have hit us, we got a inch and it was gone the next day. Really want to get the CJ out in the pasture.
@@minoan438 oh don't get me wrong I can see it's a nasty storm, it's just some of these poor people are trying to drive kias around.
When I was out this morning unfortunately a lot of the roadways were nearly untouched with close to two feet of snow on them. There were people that actually just abandoned their vehicles in the middle of the highway. Looked like they were sitting their at least a few hours as the car's windows were all covered. Did end up helping some including a coworker since I carry all kinds of recover gear and have a winch on my F250. My nephew was mad since they already had the day off from school, so no snow day lol.
CJ = you meen jeep correct ?
@@bustersmith5569 yeah, nothing too impressive a 81 cj5 with 4 inches lift. Worthless except to tear up the offroad and it loves snow with a set of narrow studs.
@@baloghlcb wow 2 feet is some serious snow! Especially if it's the wet stuff
I love snow
and people ask my why I still live in Miami...it's 74 right now and Sunny outside at 2:31pm on Monday Jan 17th, 2021
Don't rub it in! 🤣🙂
Thanks! 😆
It's 28° windy, cloudy, and still snowing where i live :)
@@oldbroad7672 but it's getting colder tonight than all of 2021...it's to be 48º, which for Miami is pretty chilly...lost time we had under 40º was Jan 2017 and it was 39º
But yall can't go snowmobiling in your back yard for half of the year
We're in Florida! Even though it's a bit rough it's no where as bad as you guys are having it to the north, good luck,take care and stay safe guys!
Rochester NY feels your pain. At least 15 inches of heavy pack snow here 😕
We were at 28 inches last I seen
I hope all the men an women truckers r okay. Prepared for this stuff.
People will never learn to stay 🏡🏠 when it's like this... Stay home it's easy as that... The snow plows will clean it up...
People have places they NEED to be though.
@Account NumberEight yope
@Account NumberEight cope
That Golf R definitely had the wrong tires. Summer tires. No grip after backing up. AWD didn't help him much
This. Incredibly capable car with proper tires.
All praise to our Creator Almighty forever
Just looking at this video makes me shiver! Hats off to those who have to be out in this weather!😐😐
Snowplow drivers don't get enough credit for the important work that they do.
I don't mind driving in the snow as long as I have good winter tires. I just take my time and assume that the other guys on the road are idiots, so I give them plenty of room.
Pretty much assume the same about other drivers even without snow.
Thank you for posting.
More please...I live in Ashtibula Co.
Love it. 💗
We live about 30 miles east of Ashtabula, we got 26 inches of snow that night. It's a pain, but nothing new around here.
The gta got walloped with 2 feet. Even with ploughs over night pretty much everybody is a sitting duck. STAY HOME PPL
If you mean Toronto Canada...yes! We got a sh*tload; more than usual.
My nephew and his wife will be flying into the Cleveland Airport shortly after vacationing in Key West. Are they ever in for a shock! Pray they make it home okay.
Unless you have a good reason much better watching these videos than being out there...
Seriously? This is N. Ohio! These people should be experts at this.
Students and other transplants don't do so well.
Ashtabula got 25 inches in 12 hours. That's a lot even for seasoned northeast Ohioans.
I'm originally from Michigan...and I've noticed that in Ohio, people have to relearn winter driving every single year. This is the first significant snow NE Ohio has had this winter.
@@Alexandra-fz7lk Yes, I live in the snow belt - east side of Cleveland. And I have had no measurable snow all winter until last night. I live a mile from the Lake, and the Lake has been running about 10 degrees warmer than normal all winter.
Doesn't help either when all the plows are only on the highway which is a common problem here in N.E. Ohio
In Alaska, we have weather like this off and on for 6 months
Amazing. Here in Michigan, we have virtually no snow away from the Lakeshore
The joys of living in Ashtabula.😉
Stay home folks
I live in Geauga County and thank goodness I had today off. If it's like this tomorrow well I am calling off from work. I have a 4 wheeled drive Jeep with 4 newer Tires. You just can't drive in a blizzard mess. I'm sick of this!
It snowed at a clip of 2 inches/hour for 7-8 hours in Ashtabula County. From 11:00 p.m. Sunday until 7:00 a.m. Monday. Why people would drive regular cars in this makes no sense to me
yea pretty bad here in youngstown ohio too
There's something really cool about a huge snowstorm like this...IF you don't have to go out in it or are smart enough to not go out in it of you don't have to. I get that some folks have to get home from work, etc, so can't always avoid it.
I thank You for the videos, 5 ft. drifts here in Erie, Pa.
In most situations a 2 wheel drive car with good tires can fare just fine. My parents live in an area that is frequented by tourists from Florida and other points south. All respect to them, they often will have RWD SUVs, or 4x4s with low profile tires. I saw more than a few SUVs this week in ditches, along with some low slung Subarus as well. My first car was a Malibu, my current car is a subcompact Prius C, with 240000 miles on it. I’ve only gotten stuck a handful of times, and all were because of *deep* snow beyond it’s clearance and or me just being dumb. For general commuting purposes, unless you live down a holler or up a big hill, you should fare fine with momentum, confidence, and good tires.
I used to live and work in bula in the mid to late 70s, 2ft overnight was not unheard of there...
That wasn’t Lake effect yet, that’s coming later 😩
I'm sorry I've been thru some extreme weather and I probably would have parked it especially with that clock working against me
Pray for the Truckers , they bring in our goods.🙏🍺🍅🐷
absolutely no snow on the roa
ds here in las vegas
again this may be coming to visit me OMG finally a 'normal winter Connecticut is looking into a way to tax snow.
Ashbatula, oh gets that lake effect snow ❄️ from lake erie as well
Shut up telling these people to stay home because yall are in Texas n' sh#%! Maybe their electricity went out and they need to go to a family members house to get warm. It's hard as it is in this nation, stop acting like you know wtf is going on.
Born and raised in Michigan, we knew how to get around in the snow, not like these Millennials nowadays.
I reside in the PNW now, these Woke LeftTards can't drive in the snow for $hit either.
God bless everyone
Nice 👍
Now that is a Snow Storm!!!
I miss this. Had lived in that area for 25 years.
DON'T DRIVE! IT IS SIMPLE
I live in Wayne County, Ohio. We were under a Level 2. Foot of snow. Was just at the store up the street, Rittman's good about clearing their roads, but I am not about to venture outside the city limits just yet. lol
People should stay home if at all possible!
Whoa...60 degrees here right now. Things green here, growing. No winter as most know it. Glad to watch this on the computer and not for real.
People need to stay home if they can if bad weather is predicted. If you can't, leave work early and close down if necessary.
Truckers are intrepid, they have to be. but auto travel in this is insane.
It's a reason it's known as the Lake Erie lake effect snow machine.
I absolutely love the snow. But when it's that bad I just stay home it's not worth it.⛄❄
The only one getting through are snowmobiles and plows. To all stay safe
Suburb of CLE - got about double than forecasted; not as heavy as expected.
I feel really bad for the truckers.
all the cars in the medium with the 4ways on------ look at me, I'm an idiot!!!!
I live in Australia and have never seen anything like that. what happens if you get stranded in your car? have people ever died from exposure their?
People most definitely do die from the cold when stuck. But it really depends on what winter clothing/blankets they have with them and how much fuel they have to keep the vehicle running. Also there is a high chance that someone will check on them if they are on a major roadway
We are in Pittsburgh- supposed to take son back to school near Toledo.. He wanted to get on the road like at noon today.. pwah! He so funny😆..
Pgh got about 8-9 inch.. doin ok around here..
I live here 😳. 22 inches overnight
I haven't seen snow like that at the Jersey shore since2010.🤔
Good
Stay safe.
That's what tge blizzard of 1978, I lived through it, a literally powerless white out!!
Let's see,
NE OH ☑
>1' snow ☑
Roads = impassible ☑
January ☑
I live here...came down over my 8 hour 3rd shift.
That is a s-load of snow
I went through Ohio over 70 yesterday Columbus had some ice but I'm sure glad I didn't run over the north.
Wow. That’s more snow than I got up here in western Canada
SEVERE!!
But but it's supposed to be global warming... How dare the weather not comply.
I live in western NY we got fifteen inches and it's snowing again
and you chasing storms should have a set to chase blizzards
Wow
yeah we finally got snow here in Canada, 2- 4 feet. making up for all the other years we did not get
I live near where this video was taken. At home, I had 27” of snow plus the drifts. I knew this was coming, so I got gas, got all the food & supplies I would need for a few days. I got to watch all of the fools out there with all season tires that are worthless in this type of snow. I have a full size, 4 wheel drive truck and I stayed home safe and warm.
I love this area i love the Cove but this is a nightmare. 🙏
People deserve what they get. Who is so stupid to be in the road in a night like this. Going to work is not an emergency....you are risking your life and the life of others.
Some businesses refuse to close so employees go to work because they need the paycheck nor have paid leave so they can stay home.
@@emeyers5984E Mey, i said before that you are risking your life and the life of others, and i know what you mean....but if you die in an accident or kill, you and your family will have less than you had before you got on the road....not worthy.
I just pray these people keeps the snow away from their exhaust so they don’t kill themselves with carbon monoxide poisoning
man i miss the snow
Once I'm in my car, I'm invincible! pretty sure.
Weather man said snow well I haven't paid a tow bill in awhile let's go
With all the storms around the US in the last couple of weeks no wonder store shelves are empty - truckers can’t move. But there is another reason as well LGB
Got 22 in he's in roaming shores.
That's more like it, an actually somewhat problematic amount of snow if nobody is clearing any of it.
Yikes
🙏🏾
I swear. Do truck drivers know what chains are anymore?
We should have acrylics tunnels.
That Golf R couldn't handle that snow..lol
Its prob ur typical 16-25yr old kid who had his parents buy him a "sporty all wheel drive", yet he doesn't understand a thing about ground clearance
@@JimHerbertOutdoors Wish I was back living on the east side of Cleveland...I miss all the snowstorms. I'm down in Columbus now and we never get any big snowstorms. We only got about 4" down here.
Storm Chasing Video, this NOT HEAVY SNOW!!! If this is heavy snow, then what is the forecast of TWENTY EIGHT FEET OF SNOW IN JUST THREE DAYS IN Alaska's Chugach Mountains in southeastern Alaska about a month ago???
We got 16 inches n east cleveland
