Dealing with massive snowfall in Orchard Park, November 18 2022 Part 1

okay, it snowed, it's still snowing, what's the date?, the 18th, okay, it's uh, November 18, November 18, November 18, hello, good morning, we have two feet in the driveway. I left the yardstick, we ran out of power a while ago so I turned on the generator and The snow blowers are running so you won't hear me for a couple of minutes. Well, this is what's left of my car. I don't know if you can get a sense of the scale or not from this, but it snowed a little and it's supposed to. I continued but I didn't choke on the snow.

My neighbor told me that he should continue like this until Sunday, Friday. That's a ridiculous amount of snow. It's ridiculous. I walked through this before. That deep. I'm sorry for everything there. Maybe it's a little better. when I went through this the first time it was up to my waist so I cleaned the dryer vent, not that we have a dryer right now and the most important thing is the oven and getting it out of the flow which is an oak, it looks like a pine tree and this one is there, it's standing in the backyard right next to my very special area, so that's our big maple tree, the branches are nothing to compare with the branches are hanging down, well, this will mean something to The family that's hanging out beyond our kitchen are hanging so low that it's tremendously flattened hoping that we don't lose a big limb in this, but what are you going to do snow, snow?

I mean, it's so much snow. I have to laugh here. I'll take a walk around the ship and maybe this will happen. This is just an old skid. I'm still choking on the snow, so this is what we do when we're not mowing the lawn, oh my gosh. I'm getting tired of walking around, there's a lot of snow, it's wet, but it's not ridiculous, heavy, wet, jugs of water, snow type, okay, that's all for now, let's make our driveway, the driveway. neighbor's driveway, he'll rake the roof of our house, then I'm going to die, you know how they show you following the snow again, how they show you the snowplow just going through the snow like it's no problem, well this is what it's like when the snow is higher than the plow bay, so there is a lot.

There are a lot of things like this that are still very high and that just go over the bay and are not blown away by the wind, but I wanted to show you something, this is enough early enough that the city's leaf-sucking truck hasn't arrived yet to suck everyone's fingers. the leaves some people are on a lot of people no not me so when the snowplows came last night they crushed a lot of leaves in the driveway so I was outside shoveling leaves because it was blocking the snowplow and I just opened up in the mailbox area We're not going to get mail for a while but you know it's easier to keep it open than to try to dig it out later here's the mailbox for you oh my god that's full oh that's the roof I never used the rear wiper but shit ya I can't open the door here abroad, my visibility is amazing now, okay, everything is ready for now, but this entertained all the drawers.

I did our driveway and then I went to do the neighbor's driveway, okay the woman who is alone because her husband is deployed right now so I had to work my way up to that point, excuse me, I started doing this driveway, so I set off there and then I noticed that over here. Our new neighbor has a truck stuck at the end of her driveway, so I went back and recruited Lisa and Michael and our good neighbors across the street and we took it back to her driveway. The power was off for a long time and just literally, we got his truck into the garage and the power came back on.

Well, it ran out of battery again. It's been brutal on the batteries, so we took the jet out and the people here, wow, they had punched it through waist-deep snow to get out. and I helped shovel this poor lady out, so they asked me if I could shovel the snow out of their driveway, which I did, but it had to be a shovel to shovel the snow because it was really bad and it was It's been about an hour and it's already four inches. There was more snow and then, hardest of all, I had to rake the roof.

I don't want ice dams to build up and we've had a problem with that in the past so I used the roof rake and had to walk. through the snow around the house to do it was up to my waist. I had never walked in such deep snow in my life. I mean, I was crouched even this morning before. Lisa just told me it's around two in the afternoon. I started this around nine. morning clock I haven't eaten anything yet, but if I do physical work after I have eaten, I usually want to vomit, so it's better to delay the time of eating anyway.

I'm going to walk through some snow. to show you how horrible it is, this is where I overcame before. The snow is hard because I don't know if you can see the little footholds I made or not, but jeez, come on, I know what's going to happen. I'm going to sink like this overseas, so that's fine and it gets a little deeper back there, but I got the upper hand anyway, so here I'm still alive, at least for now, this doesn't suck the life out of me , there is nothing unique about that. going and helping your neighbors, this is Buffalo, New York, it's a regular city of good neighbors and I'm leaving you with these bills and you should have kept the game here in Orchard Park this weekend instead of weaning and going to Detroit in a dome, that's nonsense anyway, that's the end of today's story.

Lisa and I will go out and check the furnace intake and exhaust, which will be awesome because we'll be waiting in the snow. Elise. it's wearing everything here, no socks that are cold and wet, but I don't want to waste another pair of socks and a t-shirt under this jacket and a cap, no gloves either because my big pair of gloves, good work gloves, got soaked. wet today, so I don't want to get the other pair of shoes wet. Are you ready to go out into the desert? Look at her, see, you know what's so funny about this, nothing, no, no, we won't need it, yeah, I mean, you can. if you want, but you'll have your hands full trying to hold two things here, I'll take the little light if we need it, I don't think we will, you have a little bit of everything, okay, okay, smile. for everyone in TV Land, it's okay, so hold it and don't put your hand in front of the lens and it's okay, I got it.

Yes, that would be nice too. I'll move on. Are you sure it's still on? Yes, it's on. Okay, wow, okay, put the light here, but we're not going to need it. Hey, I think there are more tissues ready. Okay, come on, so he's just moving the big stuff. He's okay, so he's moving the big stuff so the other plow can get through. probably so the other snowplow can come through and block our driveway. Well, the snow is too ridiculous. Is there a third step? I do not remember. I think there are three, but I'm not sure either.

I think you're the third. It's very low. Yes, but that's still better than it was. Yes, I will ask you to give it to me in a second. Okay, we can show it to our audience, which I assume is Jesse and a couple of his foreign friends. Maybe they will discover us. By Tuesday, when Igna comes, I'll probably kill myself on those steps, but it should be a little better anyway. Well, at least I can go out. Yeah, that's what I was thinking, especially if you have to go out. In the middle of the night, okay, Jesse Igna, here's the backups and here's the snow.

I'm still standing because I'm just standing on the snow, which is the height of the second step, so how wonderful, you want to go first and me. Look at you Slug It Out or do you want me to go around you I think I can go first okay I'll film you oh thank you so you know try to look cool be like a dream come true eh foreigner I did good You know? At least it was higher than this this morning, so I'm hoping to make it easier for tomorrow, but maybe it should be lighter on top as well than the first snow.

Well, what was at the end of the driveway? Your Mohawk is, yes the car is an Awesome Square, help, you're more like a flat top now, the place looks really nice, but it's still horrible, so at least we still have power. Orchard Park, well that was in doubt a while ago, yes, so welcome to Orchard Park in November. 18,

2022

. Wow, you gotta remember I was putting snow on top of that, but yeah, but for me the measurement is on the top of the car because there's easily three feet right on top of that roof, yeah, that's probably what could.

I can't reach it, but look at the end of the driveway, it's still open and it's not too bad down there, so maybe we'll have a chance to clear this fool tomorrow that was left as level snow like Armageddon on the street, so the real snowplow will have fun with that. Okay, I guess that's it, mommy, wave, bye, okay.
