US weather: Impassable snowdrift triggers alert for ‘prolific’ blizzards as 'heaviest snowfall in the world' could strike
Story by Nathan Rao • 23h

A‘jaw-dropping’ winter deluge wielding the potential for the ‘heaviest snowfall in the world’ threatens to bury parts of the US under an impassable snowdrift.

Eastern states are on alert for ‘prolific’ blizzards, prompting warnings to brace for ‘impossible’ travel conditions.

Arctic winds this week will send a freezing plume across the warm waters of the Great Lakes triggering an eruption of instability.

A resulting savage ‘snow squall’ threatens to engulf the region and surrounding states as experts warn of a winter blanket piling feet deep.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If that map is accurate, our town is right on the edge of that Tuesday snow zone, but the forecasts don't show us actually getting any accumulation of snow in the next week. I expect a very cold winter, but definitely don't want to have to deal with massive snowstorms.

This is largely lake-effect. You'll be outside most of the worst of it. Might get a few flurries from the fringes of the bands.

Meanwhile I, buried in several feet of the stuff for the first time in a few years, am getting annoyed at having my schedule interrupted. Driving yesterday afternoon was a total nightmare.

I saw reports from your area, @jmyrlefuller - not fun! Driving in that stuff is a nightmare.
Now they're saying we'll get a coating to 1" Wednesday.

Congrats on the Bills' win over the '49ers.

I love watching outdoor football in bad weather.

And when you've got a guy like Josh Allen, it's always fun.
