Hello from Erie, PA 👋 JLR it's so bad out there it's unbelievable. I live in the city & we haven't seen one snow plow go by our house yet. Our street is completely impassible. The awning attached to our house and garrage collapsed and thankfully no one was hurt. We have probably about 10 feet of snow on the roof that we are trying to get off so we don't have any further issues. Prayers for everyone dealing with this! Thanks for all you do JLR & Magnolia!

The south has it's share of natural disasters too....and those are the kind more likely to kill people and destroy property.

[@Beach-Star-Experience-550-YT]

Upper NY has an alert to our phones when storms are coming. Then the arms go down on thruway entrances so people can't get onto them. Anyone stuck was probably en-route already. The snow is Southward, moving upward. This is normal this time of year.

[@marywilliams341]

That happens often here in Western New York when lake effect happens. Here locally they put bars across the onramps to prevent people from getting on. One you are stuck if you keep you car on you have to get out of the car and keep the snow from blocking your exhaust pipe or you will die
