I remember the beasts that plowed during the '60's-70's. You could hear them coming from far away with the tire chains slapping and engines growling . Banks would be up to the phone lines on the poles.

Although I did most of my growing up near Dayton, OH., because when my Dad retired form the military, he didn't want to go back to Upstate N.Y. due to the severe winters, and cost of living compared to here. I can remember a few times, sitting with my Aunt Verna on her sofa, her on one end, me on the other, drinking coffee at 4:30 am. having good conversations, watching the snowplows going up and down the road she lived on, in the country side of Williamstown, N.Y. in Oswego county! I sure miss those days, I tell ya!

Thanks for the info. I grew up in a suburb, and the town was really superb at plowing, but I barely remember seeing 2 walters, even though the town had about 6.

I was at the long gone Frink Plant in Clayton back in 1989. The subject of this video came up and the Frink folks said it was edited in a studio in Toronto and the voice over done by their Toronto Service Manager and it was largely ad lib on his part. As I recall his name was Don Kohler and his narration really made the film. He was a natural.

My brother still has a 39 7 ton with v and 8ft wing in Spicer, Mn. I ran the wing for 24 hrs straight after the st patricks storm in Spicer, 1966. Had not been stuck in years but got stuck 5 times in 24 hours. 16" wet snow. Most fun? Down hill to rr tracks w no brakes, a 39 walters feature. Scraping ice off side window with one hand, other hand for wing lever. Getting hit in shoulder to wake up and raise wing for mailbox, or bridge railing (more serious, harder wake up hit).

Cat tracks may have had the traction but they sure took a long time to clear the roads. When we got snowed in and the county brought out the dozers they had to push the snow off the road to the side, usually several feet. Their forward travel was like an mile an hour.

Living in the UK we are lucky to get any snow in winter now. I'm from up north so we do get more from 2009-2014 we got good winters with snow and drifts then it stopped for a few years. It did hit -18c in 2010 in my garden that's the coldest iv had in the UK but in Italy skiing, i was near mont blanc and it was -37c and a gale blowing so no idea what the windchill was but it got through 4 underlayers and a windproof ski jacket! I love snow! If i did move to the USA i would head to the New England area or lake effect snow areas :)

I'm a Florida boy but wifey is from Rome NY and her family had/has a hunting camp on Tug Hill and I've been up there several times in the winter...I think they get the highest level of snowfall in the U.S. east of the Rockies. There were times their would be 8 to 12 inches of standing snow in Rome and 40 minutes later on Tug Hill there'd be 6 feet plus. It's a fun place to drink and raise hell...lots of bars around Osceola.

Gotta have that antifreeze if you're sledding! I knew hardcore sledders up there that would take 60 mile sled runs, in any kind of weather, at night, etc. they used routes that they had used before. Only thing that scares me about night sledding is the chance that you'll run into a barbed wire fence in the dark and get decapitated. It happens.

I have heard that the record snowfall in New York state was the winter of 1956 (?) when twelve feet of snow buried Oswego county. One of my mom's ex husbands was sent there with the army, and showed me photos that he had taken. the snowbanks on the roadside, after the plows came through, were as high as the crosstrees on the electric poles. My family had a farm in the Tug Hill valley, near Glenfield, and I happened to be there during the blizzard of '77, (on vacation from college.) It snowed continuously for probably an entire week. When it was done, over six feet had accumulated. We were snowed in, and had no snow machine. The army came by snowmobile, and gave us some C-rats, luckily, we had enough wood in the woodshed to keep warm. Every day, I would go and shovel a path from the farmhouse to my car, which was entirely buried. After what seemed like forever, one day, I heard a plow coming up Pine Grove road. I ran out on snowshoes, and waved and yelled until the driver saw me, I had to direct him to come around and plow out near where my car was, so that I could get it out. The snow was so deep that conventional plows were useless. Plows mounted on halftrack vehicles that were used to clear the runway at Wheeler- Sack airfield on Camp Drum were pressed into service, the plow that rescued me and my family was one of these. There were stories of cars that were buried in snow being run over and flattened by these huge snowplows. Everyone who could get out went to the town barn in Lowville where we were put in vans and given shovels. For weeks, we shoveled people out who were trapped in their houses, we shoveled off roofs, many barn roofs had collapsed, killing the cattle. My sister still lives in Lowville, she told me that around five years ago, they got five feet. The snowfall in Lewis county is no joke.
