I love the horse/buggy carefully making their way up the road (02:56) when everyone else is sliding off the side.
We truly need to go back to living like that I know it won't happen Jackie in fl
They are a hazard on the highway.
This is the kind of weather I grew up with on a very regular basis every winter in N.W. Ohio when I was a kid. We had blizzards every winter and even 5 ft. show drifts. I remember my brother and I wearing several sox, pants and layers under our coats/hoods. We would dig tunnels in the drifts and make snow caves. Coming inside after a couple of hours in the cold blowing snow was painful when the feelings came back into our hands and feet. Ahhh memories.
bless the truckers who get to us what we need thru this weather
Amen to that

Thank You ❤️❣️
Love these vids. Why I don't have to shovel it. Anyway where is lake front airport in Cleveland is it near Hopkins airport my friend has his own private plane king air 200 he maybe going to the Cleveland area. He sometimes flys into Akron. Great 1st Snow Storm.
People be like" Dam I shoulda stayed to the house 🤣
We had several 🌪 down south too. Lucedale M.S had a unconfirmed 🌪 and roof damage, and lots of big trees uprooted
I live in central Ohio and we only got two inches of snow. That lake affect snow in Cleveland is brutal.
Live in MI, can relate. The lake effect snow from Lake Michigan, is a nightmare. Tons dropped in just a few minutes.
It wasn’t just the lake effect the storm itself exploded in intensity when it got over the Cleveland area then stalled which started picking up tons of moisture from the warm lake and dumping it as it got inland
Looks like a typical Winter day where I live.
What a wonderful winter wonderland.
I live in it it is beautiful.
You wouldn't say that if you had to drive in it
@Paul Crosley I disagree this storm was fantastic one of the most beautiful i have seen this video doesn’t do it justice u had to experience it to know
@@peggyhatten9108 we have very good snow removal in the region and if u have the driving skills it was no big deal even at the peak of the storm
Oh, that is how snow looks like? living in northern germany, I nearly forgot. If now it would snow just a tiny bit, all traffic would blow up in absolute chaos.. we are not used to it anymore.
Same goes for Denmark......miss the snow, cant even take my Grand children on a sled ride 😳
I remember the last real winter in Germany, in 2010😏
@@whiterose6186 Oh yes, 30 cm snow , Ice and constant temperatures below zero degrees celsius since early december, nearly through march ... sweet, sweet memories...😢
It's officially snow season in the snow belt of northeast Ohio.
@4 Avenida global warming actually allows for more snow in the area if its too cold the lake freezes and the moisture source gets shut off
Very dangerous driving conditions.
That’s when you just want to stay indoors by the fireplace and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. Brrrrrrrrr🥶!
Like the song. The weather outside is so frightful but the fire is so delightful. Since I do a place to go let it snow. Shows no signs of stopping brought lots of corn fir popping
normal winter in canada and this is where all the guys have fun
You guys have mandatory snow tires right? I bought snow tires once and will forever buy a dedicated snow set. $500 snow tires are cheaper than hospital bills and insurance deductibles.
@@doubled8247 its mandatory but they really do check when your crossing Alberta/ British Columbia border if you have mud/snow tire rating, winter tires or chains. If your more east from the mountains. Don't really need winter tires if your running 4x4 or awd.
Красота!!!Как в Сибири!Только в Сибири такое почти 6 месяцев!
Look mom, we're all dancing 🤹♂️ 🕺
Wish New Jersey would get snow like that once in awhile, for the past few years we haven’t been getting anything at all
Snow is so important in the northern regions. The slow melt back into the soil. Makes for a rich spring and bountiful harvest. People don’t realize the weather warfare comes in many forms. It’s not difficult to change weather at all. It’s helped us win war. So we claim 🥴
@@MzClementine This "act of war" was waged by lakes, which provide extra heat and moisture for air flowing over them. Once the moist air crosses back onto the land, it loses its heat source and the air can no longer retain the evaporated water. Thus, it falls as snow.
@MAD MAX1985 Be careful what you wish for.
im from wisconcin good thing that missed us.
That's home to me and it's all normal in the snowbelt. Average snowfall is 100 inches per year. You learn to respect it or end up on the side of the road.
It snowed all day in Columbus. It stuck over night.but is melting today.
What kind of car and tires do you have?
I'm glad i moved further south.
Burası neresi
Normal winter in Canada. 😀 specially in January and February months
Miss getting this in Edmonton, a good snowfall hasn't happened in a while.
In some parts of canada yes but definitely not everywhere especially the biggest cities like Toronto or the near snowless Vancouver
I love it. It's so beautiful.
I live just a few miles from where this vid was shot. Due to differences in topography, we barely got 2" snow.
I lived in Texas for a very long time (back in Canada..for now..lol) when the temp goes down to -5 (rare) we get snow mixed with rain, turning to ice...as a Canadian living near some pretty big mix masters, my safe place is home! One New Year’s Eve we planned on going to spend New Year’s Eve in Mesquite (near Dallas) unfortunately we ended up getting a last minute snow storm..yes..snow storm...a 15 minute drive took us 45 minutes, I have never seen so many drivers drive as though the roads were bare and dry...sliding into railings, into the ditches..hitting each other...it was mayhem...kinda funny, but scary..thankfully no one was killed...but it was a crazy sight..as hard as we tried to get to Dallas since it is only a 35 minute drive on a good day, it just wasn’t worth it in a place that had no snow ploughs, sand or salt trucks..yikes! .so we turned back
Wow jeeze! This should be us but apparently we don’t have snow at this time of the year it’s soo rare where I live. Good old chinooks from the mountains
that is a lot of snow !
@@anya4565 I'm a born & raised in Miami....that's a lot of snow :) LOL
Four wheeler & freight haulers wth dry vans are the most common to be jack knifed in bad weather.
I love all season in Canada, snow is beautiful as special at Christmas time
This wasn’t Canada lol
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏 Thank you for sharing
I used to do a commute to Geneva that was 54 miles one way and dont miss it one bit. Too many idiots with no common sense makes for multi car pileups on 90 and there are no shortcuts just alternate routes that make a 1 hour drive last 3 hours or more. Thanks to my Jeep I always got home
Piękny krajobraz .
Oh how I remember those days & nights. Retired to the sunny SW.
Great video. Two feet plus drifts .. this sounds like a job for an Oshkosh .. :)
Looks beautiful
Yikes! Glad IL missed that!
In Medina county I think we've only gotten two snow storms over 8 in this year lol
Thank you
Please Why Was The Roads Open during bad Storm Conditions.
Everyone forgets how to drive in snow during the first snowfall. It always catches people by surprise. Then it gets better.
the vids of those houses ( 03:34 ) remind me of the Christmas movie "A Christmas Story" .. with little Ralphie and his bunny PJs (I thought they were so funny .. I bought a pair )
N E Oh. all my life. Freight hauler 33 yrs., no accidents thank God, I was only the co-pilot, happy to watch from the porch now, I often miss it but, when I see this, I hope my friends are doing ok.
Prayers for all who have too drive thru Lake effect snow . It is horrible!
Boy am I glad I live in the south and we don't get snow that much.
In that case, it wasn't the typical lake effect snow squalls that these regions tend to get. It was rather lake enhanced snow, which is a synoptically driven snowstorm that has enhanced precipitations because of lake effect. That phenomenon is usually more continuous and widespread than typical lake effect snow. I think that could be more dangerous because it's lasting longer and there's hardly any way to get out of that, while lake effect snow squalls are more localized and easier to avoid while on the road.
Great snowman snow ❄️
I'm dreaming of white...... Shut up Carl.
sooner or later here in southern wisconcin we will get hit with a snowstorm one of these weeks from now.
Wow, we got bad but not like those people up state Ohio.
My grandma lives up there, one time there was 5 feet of snow on the ground
November 1996. 69 inches over a period of 5 days. We had the National Guard help dig us out. We went around clearing snow off roofs of car ports, barns, etc. to keep them from collapsing. Fun times.
I loved to see some snow here in North CAROLINA.
And the nights shall be dark, full of terror...
Sign, quiet night, 30 inches of snow, and Jason might break in and kill a lot of people like in.....Friday the 13. Lock doors is a nono, he breaks in anyway.
These storms and the one coming Xmas eve, just missed Michigan. I wonder if that means God is a Michigan FAN!🥳
I carry a full-sized snow shovel in my trunk, as well as having the best quality winter tires on my car. I can easily drive through 6" of heavy pack-snow even with only front-wheel drive, so with the help of the snow shovel I simply 'shovel' out a nice clear path for my car to follow and I can get out of almost any stuck situation. But without winter tires and a snow shovel, you have to wait for a tow truck to come along instead.
Agreed mate, if you live in a area that gets this kind of snow you should be prepared for it.
@@jackiebayliss just watched a Minneapolis video of vans and cars sliding all over the highway; every one had cheap fifty dollar so-called "all weather" but they're hard rubber cheap tires. Useless, in most ice and snow conditions, and these are Minnesota drivers!!! I'll never understand going cheap on tires in bad weather states.
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki Minnesota doesn’t get nearly as much snow as most ppl assume they are very cold but most of the state gets under 60 inches a year
I’m glad there is no snow in northeastern Wisconsin yet.
I have been in hurricanes. I have been near tornadoes which were a mile and a half wide. I've been outside when it was 114º in the shade; and I've driven on roads parallel to wildfires which were traveling 35 mph. I will take ANY of those before I drive through lake effect blizzards!
This storm was crazy. My neighborhood and surrounding area was without power for 3 days. It was freezing and our house temperature got down to 26 degrees F
It wouldn’t call it crazy the storm was quite calm when it came to winds u just have a weak infrastructure
And here in south east Europe we rarely get such weather. I haven't seen much snow in the past 10 years.
Grew up there. Live in Duval county Florida, 12.03. 2020.
Meanwhile Las Vegas hasn't gotten a damn drop of rain since February
Hahahahahahaha
Be careful up there guys y'all know how this stuff ✌️😀
Haven't seen any snow in central michigan this year so far.
Move to the west side........... lake effect from Lake MI unreal sometimes.
I'm not riding the Harley in this, sorry.
Good tires and municipalities that effectively remove snow should not be problem for travel, unless the conditions are a severe blizzard. Only once in WI that I’ve had a problem even in WI, being taken off the road. 🕊
Why, it's just a wonderland, isn't it?
Bing, after it get dirty ......it is land to wonder about it.
🌨🌨🌨❄️❄️❄️！
Wish this kind of snow will come to our area .. let it snow...
Real Xmas weather. I want to know what it feels like to in the snow and the cold Xmas weather.😀✌️
1960s the snow was worse houses were covered. That back when people work together as Americans. History so many miss
Me da pánico solo de ver...me da miedo tanta nieve..tanto hielo..tantos accidentes..Dios nos proteja
Don’t slow down. By wrecking into the median or shoulder it helps in ensuring you arrive safer and much, much, much, much, much, much, much faster. Much faster and safer.
A lot of cars ran off the road on 480 that day.
We are going thru out tooooo much
Nothing unusual for Minnesota
People can't drive with no snow let alone when it does
Great observation don't forget the textures always on the phone. Im a trucker oh what I see lol
Blessings planet earth ☀️🌻😽 bendiciones 🙏 muchísimas bendiciones 🙏.
Qualcuno sa dell'esistenza delle catene dà neve o pneumatici invernali da quelle parti??
and everyone makes fun of Southerners driving in the snow...not realizing under the 1-2 inches of snow is another ½-1inch of ICE!!! Municipalities clearing roads...in the south...NOT HAPPENING until a few days later...
I’m a truck driver. Can’t wait for more of this......not!
LIVE IN YOUNGSTOWN,OHIO WE ONLY GOT A TRACE OF SNOW WE DONT GET BIG SNOW STORMS HERE LOL
Would be nice if we could get some of that snow down here
Gosh, if anyone wants some snow, most of us in Upstate New York don't want it. :}
Looks almost as bad as Central Ohio...
Lol this one storm brought as much snow as u guys get for a whole winter on average the f are u on about
Don't leave your windshield wipers in the up position, it will weaken the spring.
Better than having it stuck under 3-5 inches of solidified snow most people let their wipers freeze and then put them on which in a lot of cases destroys the motor
Man i wish ny got this amount We get nothing now😔
Whoa!!
You can send some to me.
California 😁😁
And I was going to invite you to my beach house in Florida........ 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
SNOW OR RAIN ...WHICH ONE IS BETTER CHOICE?
Rain is far more destructive
3:29 Oh god the entire town is covered in snow
So lucky 😭
most just don't know how to drive in that
I was there it was horrible! jus kidn lol, from NH
Balmy 74 degrees here in Goodyear AZ...KZhead video at 11.
And that is why I don’t live in Chicago anymore.
I moved from Chicago because of the cold and taxes. I miss the snow.
@@JP-kb4yi If it’s not Christmas Day or there’s not a mountain to ski down, I don’t need to see the white stuff anymore.
Chicago doesn’t get nearly as much snow as the Cleveland area
واين هاذي عربي من فضلكم
Beautiful, if you don't need to drive in it.
Likes the Vehicles really need to be on the road
Snow..
Great video. ♡ T.E.N.
The vehicles in the driveway catching snow near the end or the smart vehicles and drivers.
There's always some super truckers.
