I know all about what Lake effect snow is.
It comes in narrow bands from the warmth of our lakes.
I get lake effect snow bands with my route that is in Orleans county.
It can be nice,and clear going down 104,then you drive into one of these bands and can only see a few car length ahead.
If you don't know the road your on you can drive off of it before you know it.
I know that Lake Eire also has the lake effect.
It doesn't matter how the roads are plowed,and salted.
These snow bands can cover them in real fast.
Thats the biggest reason I've always took a pass when it came to bidding for a road job.
If I lived in a warm climate I may be a road driver.
But its bad enough working in day light hours running into these wicked snow storms.
At night its just you,and your headlights shining on blowing snow.
One minute your doing your normal run,the next thing you know your in a wreak thinking of where you can apply for another job.
