I’m a student at the University of Oswego in New York…which is along the shore of Lake Ontario. As anyone else who lives hear a huge body a water knows, that means Lake Effect Snow. Growing up downstate, I’ve never seen anything like this. I had a 4 day weekend thanks to class cancellations. The storm really started this monday, with temperatures of -15 to -25 Farhenheit, wind gusts up to 40mph, and A LOT of snow. It has continued snowing on and off since then. We currently have about 65" of snow. The advisory has been continued through tomorrow. The faitful weatherman predicts a 5 day total accumulation of 100" (Thats over 8 freaking feet of snow).
Anyway, i took some footage during the earlier stages of the storm. It’ll probably be entertaining to you. Enjoy.
in december we got a huge amount of snow in london over night almost everything was closed…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l-rW2QewoE (not my video just one that i found that shows how much snow we got in such little time)
Idk much about the skiing in this area because i typically ski upstate and in Vermont…but yea, i don’t think snow making is a frequent process in ski resorts here.
We got snow for the first time this year today, about 6 inches in total, I dropped the coker tyre pressure right down and took it out on the roads, much more stable than a bike on the ridged ice and crusted snow.
Stop moaning and get your muni out!
It’s really good fun riding in snow - and much safer than a bike as kington mentioned. We had a bit last night (3 inches or so) but it was all but gone by the time I was riding to work
I did get my uni out, what kinda unicyclist do you take me for?!
Kinda funny story actually, it was my first time riding in HEAVY snowing conditions, with a couple inches on the plowed sidewalks. I got on and started riding…hit a bump and actually fell to my stomach. How often does that actually happen to a unicyclist? So i went to get back on, and the tire immediately slipped out and i reenacted the exact same fall. A guy then yelled out the window of my building, “I saw that!!!hahahahahaha.” But, I got the hang of it. You have to jump mount the uni.
