These storms rarely wipe out large chunks of the infrastructure, though. Digging out and taking a break from life for a few days is pretty much all it takes to get back to normal. No rebuilding is necessary.
If there is no base, donโt they have to groom it first? I remember a buddy of mine during Monday night ski club went on to one of the closed trails during one of the lake effect events. He got really messed up when he wiped out and went right through all the powder and landed on the frozen ground. He basically landed on nasty concrete.
Just a point of clarification, it is wind that makes a blizzard a blizzard and not snow.
The blizzard of โ77 brought no new snow with it. It was all snow blown off of the frozen lake.
This is just a snowstorm.
I genuinely donโt care about anyone who gets stuck in this. There are other ways to get anywhere you have to get to.
If you are heading into the heart of it, anyone you are meeting will understand if you say,โIโll see you on Sunday.โ
