Do you guys think this is the last winter storm we'll see for the year or is the east coast known to have a couple of these storms in the spring?
Still trying to understand east coast weather lol.

When I worked for a freight company - I saw half the snow/ice break off the top of a 53' trailor (so thats about a 20'-25' slab of snow/ice) then fly back & crash onto the car behind it. Like a missile launch. :x

that happened to me a couple winters ago. it wasn't that big to be honest. or maybe it was i can't recall but it was a spectacular crash on my windshield. i didn't swerve and the windshield was fine..but i distinctly remember seeing it fly off the truck and just looking in awe as it flew towards me, where all of this happened in split second. crazy experience.
the real problem up here in the northeast is the dreaded pothole. honestly, there are more potholes than they can patch, and driving in boston or NY...you need an economy suspension. im talkin a subaru outback, forrester, accord, camry. **** that is a smooth ride. i drive a WRX on stock suspension and man is it rough. my winter tires are low on the sidewall to be fair, but when i drove my boy's 2016 pathfinder
. night and day. like im on an airplane rolling across the tarmac. pothole? what pothole. people who do coilovers in the NE are crazy. maybe its cuz im older now, but ground clearance is actually important to me lol.
worst thing about potholes is that some streets need to be repaved and wont, cuz budgets.
its terrible. $1 trillion ain't enough word to my civil engineers out here.

Had to pour hot water on my front and rear windshield since the ice wasn't cracking with the scraper.

It's not that hot. And it's in combo with the defroster running.

Harrisburg, PA got smacked, school closed again today. Pittsburgh was expecting at least 3" but all we got was a little dusting and freezing temps. Half the city was ready to call off but woke up pissed instead
