Winter storm Grayson

[MC0493]

It was a fun day in southern NY. They didn't call us in until around 7. Alot of guys had already called it quits themselves and brought it back. I cleaned up the route i was on in the snow but got a different route the day after that was basically all ec. Gotta love cleaning up someone elses mess.

Going to be of those years where the oil companies use the weather as an excuse to drive the prices through the ceiling. I remember a few years ago when popane was like 7 dollars a gallon and they would only sell you a half a tank----meanwhile the propane reserves were not ebven being used. Meanwhile in the oil fields they burn that stuff off by the millions of gallons just to get rid of it.

That sucks. I wonder if it will be any good when the ice melts...

Never heard of the moon being blamed for flooding.

It will be fine but I would have the wheel bearings repacked and the brakes looked at ----and the tires will feel like they are square until everything thaws out.

High tide in and of itself did not cause the flooding. High tide and near hurricane force winds blowing in from the northeast (hence the term nor'easter) combined to create the near historic flooding.

The '78 he was referring to was the Blizzard of 1978. I can recall snow banks high enough to where we jumped off of the roof of the house. We didn't have school for a week.

Why not? It has to be either the moon or Trump that gets the blame.

 

[Covemastah]

The moon and tides are connected , add in 60/70 mph winds with snow and you have a blizzard, Nor Easter

In 78 , in some neighborhoods people were evacuated by amphibious landing ducks and homes were completely destroyed in coastal NE

Thank you Bill Nye
You are right , but a tide could do this even if it’s not a nor’easter
Full moon and sun line up at the right time and a little wind could cause an astronomical high tide

Inland we had 3' or more of snow.

With all due respect, high tide and "a little wind" would not have caused anywhere near that amount of damage.

More than just brakes and wheel bearings are ruined, Rod. The water most of those cars are in reached almost the top of the wheels. Transmissions and differentials will be covered, and they will have been infiltrated with water through their vents. Most new cars have a lot of important wiring under the seats and carpeting. Connections will have been soaked and compromised.

And, salt water at that. Those cars are all toast.

No ,, but can cause a lot but not like that , I’ve seen it tho living by the coast all my life

In 78 , you could have 4’ on your yard and across the street , 8”
