Back in the seventies, Buffalo had a particularly bad lake effect snow storm which shut down the city. Toronto volunteered the use of some street-clearing equipment to help Buffalo out. Buffalo agreed and when they got the streets cleared, sent Toronto a bill for the expenses.
I was there for that.
I happened to stay home from work that day. Wasn’t planning it but the ride home the night before was so awful, I decided to take a call in vacation day.
I was about to go in but my ride had already left so I didn’t, and 15 minutes later, WHAM.
Never saw such a white out in my life.
We could not even see the house next door across those narrow little driveways with 3 feet of lawn next to the house next door. Couldn’t have been more than 10 - 12 feet between houses.
Toronto sent the Metro-Melter.
