IrishRob17 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 @BxEngine did you see this last night? NYC Fire Wire shared it too. Gotta love the armchair quarterbacks asking why the apron wasn't plowed and salted. Clearly no frame of reference to the conditions that area has been enduring this weekend. There's more info in the comments like a truck company following a front end loader trying to get to the scene until the loader got stuck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember during snowstorms where you had a crew at the firehouse. The aprons were always plowed and salted. We even had town plows and vollies with their personal plows lead the way. But no way we had the extreme cold and snow depth that they had up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was on the Gettin' Salty podcast they had a guest from Buffalo on one week and he mentioned a job maybe during the 77 storm when no one could get down the street from either side and the fire was in the middle of the block. They had to stretch through waist deep snow from each end of the block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id still rather go to a fire in the cold vs the heat but thats slightly too extreme for me lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past your zone today and it was 2-3° warmer than pretty much everywhere else. I think I saw 62 here and along the Taconic it was mostly around 60 except in central Dutchess. We stopped at Cooper's Daughter distillery on Rt 23, it's all outdoors which is cool but it's a mudpit. Good thing they have some awesome bourbons and vodkas so I didn't care that my shoes nearly got sucked off my feet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorites, and just up the road from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I haven't actually stopped there yet but I've had their stuff a bunch of times and love it. It's at the top of my hit list after I scrape up the $$ to replace the engine in my current vehicle and I'm mobile again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m about to go out to get new windshield wipers which is about the extent of my skills and budget. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yeah it is. I don't really want to do it in the driveway in the winter by myself so I'll probably pay the shop I usually use for stuff I don't feel like doing. At least they offer a solid guarantee and they do a lot of them (and they're cheap). This fog today is terrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this lightens up for the travelers on the roads tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're consistently getting 30's and rain, instead of 40's, which makes this season, formally known as Winter, even more frustrating.Expecting more of the same this Sunday and Wednesday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
