Oh do I wish Maislin was back in operation. Nothing like running from Buffalo to Montreal via the Thruway to Syracuse then up I81 to Watertown and then across US11 to Champlain and on up to Montreal.

Central New York gets pounded by lake-effect storm
Posted: Jan 06, 2015 8:17 AM EST Updated: Jan 06, 2015 8:19 AM EST

OSWEGO, N.Y. (AP) - A persistent lake-effect snowstorm has battered parts of central New York and more is on the way.

The National Weather Service predicted up to two feet of snow in areas of Oswego County and the Tug Hill Plateau east of Lake Ontario during the most persistent bands of lake effect.

The intense snow was hitting northern Onondaga and Madison counties and central Oneida County, including Sylvan Beach on Oneida Lake.

The weather service also has issued a lake-effect snow watch for Jefferson County from Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. More than 20 inches of new snow could fall on Watertown, and temperatures are expected to reach lows of minus-7 degrees by Wednesday.

We had a fuel problem. Everyone was gelled up. Some got going but could never get over 1500 rpm. Also had major problems with the fifth wheels that have the in cab release. Out of about 110 peddle loads, maybe 20 got out of the yard.

Extra cold weather sure has its own set of problems, that's for sure.

I grew up and worked in the suburbs of Detroit for thirty years. After I got out of the USMC in 1973, I went home and drove a truck for an airfreight forwarder for eight years. I remember working the dock one night with a windchill of -35• . After many road trips out west, in 1981 I said goodbye to the land of six months of winter and moved to New Mexico.
