Erie, Pennsylvania, used to heavy snow, gets colossal amount
CBS News, Dec 27, 2017

ERIE, Pa. -- Snow was continuing to fall overnight in Erie, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas that already have seen a record amount of snow over the past few days. Even for a region accustomed to plenty of the white stuff -- this has been plenty to endure.

The National Weather Service office in Cleveland says at least an additional 5 to 10 inches are expected through Wednesday.

The storm brought 34 inches of snow on Christmas Day, an all-time one-day snowfall record for Erie.

Another 24.5 inches fell by Tuesday night, bringing the total since Dec. 23 to more than 62.9 inches.

This is obviously a hoax as Warmists have informed us that by now there would be no more snowfalls. Only a distant memory. Most likely these photos are from many decades ago.   :tongue2:

I don't know about Erie. Pa but a lot of towns have laws that make it illegal not do get the snow
off the side walk.

I have a friend who used to have a house on a corner lot. Those are the worst. And you should have seen his corner lot........his "backyard" was actually on the side of the house, and it was about 100'x50'. Which meant he had to shovel about 150+ feet of sidewalk. And he was too cheap to get a snowblower.
He has since moved many years ago. Maybe because of the sidewalk.

The question is, with a snowfall that deep, if you can actually shovel the snow, where would you put it?  Not everyone has acres around their home to pile it up.

People scoff at me, but starting in the fall, I stockpile stuff in case we have a bad winter.  I have enough toilet paper to last till the rapture.  I keep several cartons of shelf-stable milk around.  Bread I can live without, but a smart person can have the ingredients around to make their own if they wanted to, or buy multiple loaves at the store and freeze them.  I have canned goods and plenty of food in the freezer.  Several bottles of water.  There may be a few things I would like to have, but if I was in a snowstorm like this, I wouldn't starve.
