But glancing through the photo archives of the Post-Standard our older relatives may have had a point.
A big snowstorm in Syracuse and Central New York could mean a total disruption of normal life, often for days.
This was especially true for folks who had to go to work, to the store or anywhere for that matter.
The photo above of cars stuck in snow in the city above is from a storm which dumped 20.7 inches on Syracuse between Feb. 14 and 15, 1960. More than 18 inches fell on one day, setting a single one-day for a 24-hour snowfall in February.
For Sale: Volkswagen Beetle with a Jet Engine
This Volkwagen Beetle is for sale on Craigslist in Sunnyvale, California for $550,000. Road & Track reports the unique car was built in the mid-2000s by Ron Patrick who has a PhD in mechanical engineering from Stanford University. The front engine bay still holds the factory FWD powertrain which is why the car can still be registered. However sticking out back is a General Electric T58-8F turboshaft engine originally built for use in helicopters. The engine is rated at 1,350 horsepower however in the Beetle it’s setup to provide thrust and not drive a shaft. Kerosene is fed from a custom 14-gallon Kevlar fuel cell in the spare tire well.
