DANGER: Massive Pothole Could Destroy Your Car in New York

Living in a cold climate region like we do in Buffalo and Western New York, there are just some things that we need to deal with. For better or worse, it comes with the territory. One of the great benefits of the Northeast is that we get to experience all four weather seasons.

From spring to summer and winter to fall, being able to plan your life around the weather has its pluses and minuses. Of course, one clear minus of having to deal with the cold weather is winter.

In places like Buffalo, where winter seems to last all year long, we have to deal with one problem that many warmer-weather areas don't deal with as much: potholes.

Potholes, which according to Merriam-Webster, is a pot-shaped hole in a road surface, and we get them quite often in places like Buffalo thanks to the combination snow removal and road treatments plus the normal freeze/thaw cycle that happens. While potholes are a nuisance, they are something we live with and eventually they get fixed.

However, there is this one pothole on Main Street in Buffalo, in front of Bennett High School, that is more than a nuisance; it's a potential danger. It's so wide and deep that if you hit it in your car, you should expect to drive away with a thrown-off alignment, if not more damage.

In my view, this pothole is at least 4 feet wide and around 18 inches deep. Being that I live in North Buffalo, I was first introduced to this pothole on my way home from work the other day after swerving to avoid it. A few days later, it was still, but at least it had a cone inside it.

At one time the City of Buffalo used to have a 48-hour pothole guarantee where they would fix them within two days of being reported.

Hopefully now that we've in the middle of a mini-heatwave, the city will get to this and fix it.
