Lake effect snow storms are some of the most dangerous storms to drive in.

Years ago I was driving on interstate 90 west towards Buffalo NY. It was a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. All of the sudden a gray/black cloud appeared ahead. Instant white out. All I could see was the red tail lights in front of me. I remember saying to the car in front of me, Don't slow down, Don't hit the brakes. It was terrifying.

You cannot slow down or pull over. You just have to keep on driving and hope nobody in front of you panics and hits their brakes. If they do it will result in a massive pile up.

Five minutes later the snow suddenly stops and the sun reappears. Not a cloud in the sky.

Twenty minutes later, another gray/black cloud appears, whiteout.

What they are going through in western NY right now is unbelievable. All lake effect snow.
