ExiledInIllinois Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just wait till this warm front hits with rain and 40 degree temps!... Remember when they got all that snow a few years back in Fargo?... Then WHAM... It melts... I think the fire department there was giving you the option of having your basement flooded with CLEAN water on purpose so as it wouldn't flood with dirty water!... Now that is some concession! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelity Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 WOW, that's some serious snow. I remember walking across huge drifts on Military Ave in '77, and noticed a car antenna barely poking out of the snow near my feet. I thought that was crazy but this pic outdoes that by a long shot!

Knightrider Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 My sister was married back in December 2001 when Buffalo got that 7 foot storm between Christmas and New Year's. Once the airport reopened, I had to pick up a few people from the airport, and basically the only roads open in Erie County were the Thruway and one lane each way on 33 & Genesee from the Thruway to the airport. Genesee Street looked like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 In '77 I remember a similar scene on McKinley Parkway out in Hamburg. Essentially they cut a single lane. We have a picture of a semi going below us as we stood on top of the snow looking down on it. But this one is more impressive than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 That photo is not from this year's storm in Oswego according to snopes.com; it's been in circulation since at least 2004. That photo appears in this website showing snow removal of the Trans-Labrador Highway in 2004, although I believe snopes said they are older than that even.

Raelity Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've been duped... Not your fault - here's a link to some real Oswego pic's this year - still plenty impressive - more reminiscent of '77 in Buffalo too.. Oswego Snow '07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oswego Snow '07 Awesome pictures... You know you're a New Yorker when you shovel your roof! I did that several years ago here in MD when we had a pretty decent snowfall. Had a lot of drifting on my sunroom roof. Got out there and shoveled it off. Neighbors still talk about that. People down here don't appreciate the weight of snow, even after the roof collapsed on the B&O musuem a few years back. Those pictures of opening your curtains to see nothing but snow bring back '77 memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
