SUV Cover completely in ice in New York l Lake effect snow

Disaster Compilation

Mar 19 2023

Cars parked beside Lake Erie in Hamburg became encased in ice after Western New York was impacted by lake effect snow from Saturday, March 18, into Sunday morning.

Footage captured by Richard Hulburd on Sunday shows two cars covered in ice by the Hamburg waterfront.

The National Weather Service (NWS) warned that lake effect snow was expected to continue through Sunday afternoon, causing blowing and drifting snow, which would make travel difficult at times. Credit: weather buffalo March18, 2023

1. ugh, I hate winter soooooo much n/t

2. That's a lot of weight!

Guess they'll have to wait until it warms up to get their cars back.

5. Or they can just cover it with cherry syrup and eat it to freedom. n/t

3. Hope someone checked to make sure there wasn't a body inside.

Seriously, why would anyone leave their vehicle next to a lake in freezing weather with the wind blowing the surf all over it.

4. I thought the same thing

lol

6. That Was My First Thought

But I do have some small experience with Lake Erie lake effect storms, and things go downhill pretty damn fast. This dry lander never saw weather go from snow flurry to winter hellscape so fast and never imagined it happening like it does there except in legendery cold places like Siberia.

8. Yikes! And a question...

Preface: I don't own a car, nor do I live by any of the GLs.

If some had to park near the water and was knowledge about lake effort for any of the Great Lakes could they carry in their truck a very sturdy car cover to throw over their car when they're leaving while it's lightly snowing?

Just a thought. 👍

9. I've lived all my life on Lake Erie in 3 different states

(PA, OH, NY). It wouldn't work. You'd just end up with a car cover frozen to the car under a layer of ice.

The best way to avoid the kind of ice cover depicted in the OP is not to park so close to the lake. However, that might not have helped this past weekend. I'm in western NY, farther inland from the lake. The whole region got sleet, ice, snow, and strong winds from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. Even places away from the lake had some ice cover.

10. Oh...ouchie. No fun. Thanks for the answer...of course that makes sense...

duh 😄

I remember flying to Michigan, and seeing Lake Erie below us. Being a bit of a geography buff, I was like; "oh, it's Lake Erie."

As a kid/tween/teen we vacationed in New England, and NYS.
So I've been to Niagra Falls, the Finger Lakes, Howe Caverns, Watkins Glen, The Catskills, Herkimer to dig for "Herkimer Diamonds" (double terminated [pointed]) quartz and the Adirondaks. Possibly Ausible Chasam.

Beautiful State!

[wnylib]

11. Yes, it is beautiful. All of the places

that you mentioned, except for Niagara Falls, are farther east than where I live. But, I have been across the state, through Rochester and the Finger Lakes, to Albany in the East and to NYC at the southeastern tip of the state. The only area that I haven't been to is the far north around Watertown.

Most of those places I was just passing through on road trips, like the time that my husband and I drove with his brother to NYC where his brother lived. The brother had flown to our city in the western party of NY to pick up some things left for him when his father died. He rented a car here in order to drive them back to NYC. So it was a long drive. We stayed a week in NYC and flew home. While we were there, the brother took us to the World Trade Center where he worked so we could get a view from the observation deck. (He was retired by the time of 9/11.)
