41chevy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've been checking out the L.I.E. cams throughout the day. wet in some spots and littered with vehicles in others. It gets worse the further east you go,You didn't see those small letters above the grill? I knew it wasn't his 'cause I can see the surreal number. It looks like his fire extinguisher needs a recharge, too.They are using A Cat loader with a fork attachment to move cars to the side of the roads to plow them open, We had stuck police cars, fire trucks civilian cars and even State and County snow plows. Even a house collapse from the weight of the snow in Selden. Worst than people expected I guess.

paul roncetti Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi 1958 F.W.D., Did you mean they didn't pay overtime if they worked more than their normal hours or if they got stuck there after they got off work?

RowdyRebel Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's against my religion to shovel snow. If I can't get in or out of the house due to snow, all that means is that it's time to get a bigger truck.

Popular Post farmer52 Posted February 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2013 Recieved a phone call from a friend who lives on the Southern tip of PA.He said that since early Friday morning the snow wasnearly waist high and still falling. The temperature is dropping waybelow zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. His wifehas done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. Hesays that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in. 7 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29833-northeast-blizzard/page/4/#findComment-163418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 One of our DPW guys was pulling out our one and only Freightliner and he was leaning back and looking behind him to see if anyone was coming, chain broke, came through window in the loader and hit his collar bone and chest. If he wasn't looking behind him it would of hit his head and killed him. Only left a large bruise luckily.
