Yep, one of the people stuck was a Dominos driver. I offered to pull her out but she said the tow truck was on the way. The police had issued a request that there only should be emergency travel and it looked like most places were closed except gas stations and apparently Dominos.
10” of snow is a work day in NH, they won’t start closing business until you get over a foot. LolWe are in the middle of a blizzard here. 6" of snow so far with 50 mph winds and another 5 hours of it to go (weatherman said would probably end with 10" which would put us at second snowiest February plus two more snow storms expected in next 5 days and we are at double the average season snowfall so far). I had to give my daughter-in-law a ride to the hospital (nurse) and there were a lot of people in cars that shouldn't be out stuck over the curbs (can barely see 1/2 a block and hard to tell the street from the yards) and some driving without lights. The JL did fine but not as well as my JK with Duratracs, their open tread doesn't fill with snow as quickly. I live on the edge of the city and the drifts have pretty much closed the street.
It's the 50 mph winds that make a blizzard. Plain snow is easy. Three to four foot drifts from the wind driven snow, especially when it makes it hard snow, is different.10” of snow is a work day in NH, they won’t start closing business until you get over a foot. Lol
Ever lived through a Nor’Easter?It's the 50 mph winds that make a blizzard. Plain snow is easy. Three to four foot drifts from the wind driven snow, especially when it makes it hard snow, is different.
My first winter in Bangor, I was surprised how everyone went about their business and it didn't bother anyone. I think the only time school was cancelled was for over 18" over night and they hadn't cleared enough of the roads yet. And that was the first time I ever saw a scrapper/bulldozer clean roads!Ever lived through a Nor’Easter?
That’s pretty normal up here. This year has been unusual as we’ve not gotten much snow but we’ve easily had 24”+ storms with 50mph winds here most years. It takes a lot for businesses to start shut
Right? We laugh when they get an an inch of snow in the southern states and everything grinds to a halt ..My first winter in Bangor, I was surprised how everyone went about their business and it didn't bother anyone.

It's true! People down here go nuts! Well, they're already nuts. Can't even drive in the rain down here!Right? We laugh when they get an an inch of snow in the southern states and everything grinds to a halt ..
That area used to be dead five years ago but with all the new activity going on around Orla, I'm not surprised there have been so many accidents. I miss that middle-of-nowhere feeling there used to be there.You want to see some real idiots go to west Texas and travel 285 between Pecos Tx and Carlsbad New Mexico. I’ve seen so many people get killed there the last three years. Most are due to idiots.
There’s still no cell or radio reception last time I drove it. Still a PIA.That area used to be dead five years ago but with all the new activity going on around Orla, I'm not surprised there have been so many accidents. I miss that middle-of-nowhere feeling there used to be there.
I work in Orla off of 652 about 5mikes from the 4way stop. It’s a lovely place. Sarcasm inserted. We use to go through there years ago on our way to CO to go elk hunting, you would never pass another car.That area used to be dead five years ago but with all the new activity going on around Orla, I'm not surprised there have been so many accidents.
