Heavy Snow Hits New York!

BUFFALO, N.Y.

On Thursday in Buffalo New York, hundreds of motorists were stuck in heavy snow on the freeway. This happened because of an accident earlier, and the wait for it to be cleared resulted in the weather not cooperating and dumping lots of snow on top of everyone.

This monstrous storm started on Wednesday around Lake Erie and progressed toward Buffalo. Down town Buffalo was not too bad, however, the larger part was covered in two feet of snow.
What happened was a truck jackknifed on the interstate highway the night before. It caused the highway to be closed at 3 a.m. It also resulted in a traffic back up of bumper to bumper pile ups for 13 miles. All this in incredibly frigid weather.

Of course there is one way of looking at all this. If you were stranded in the white cloak of winter in a car, on a frozen stretch of highway for 14 hours like 60 year old Jack Geiselman was. This is what he had to say:
"I tend not to be a ranter-and-raver about things and the point is, it's nothing I have any control over," the 60-year-old semi-retired civil engineer said. "I guess the way I look at it is, it's over. I guess stuff happens. It's not the end of the world."

It is true. There is nothing you can do when situations as these strike. Instead of getting keyed up, take it in stride as this man does. Now if only everyone could do that. You can read more about this at the news source link on the bottom of this report.
