Nice -The same area that is on standby for the big snowstorm!
I'd argue that Zone 3 is the one to get hit worse by the snowstorm
I'm hoping we're both wrong and those high winds tonight are strong enough to blow all that Lake Effect farther south ...like into Carroll Co.

LOL. Well, I'm hoping not. But I'm glad we moved to our new place last month. We have a backup generator that works great. Winds come along and take out power, I'll be fine. And I don't have any antennas up yet to get blown down. Worst that will happen is that we will get snowed in. But we have a Silverado 4x4 and a Subaru 4x4. We're ready! But, still I don't want high winds.
Send me the lake effect. Back in the 70s/80s, the lake effect often came down this far. The last decade we never see lake effect this far south.

Same here getting "Out of range". It went to site trunking and now it won't even do that. What happens to the users when this goes down? They're just out of luck until the sites or system goes back up?
I think talkgroup activity will only occur locally (if you have no other users on that talkgroup affiliated with the site you are on, you've got no one to talk to). I think you can probably "roam", but there isn't going to be some graceful handoff by the system since the rest of the system doesn't know about you. Then again, I know zilch when it comes down to it. Maybe the sites themselves that are peers of each other talk to each other without access to the zone controller. I'll be interested to hear what somebody who really knows says

Seems to be back up now.
Agreed, Erie County is back up.

In site trunking, nobody talks to anybody as the links from one or several sites are down. Subscriber radios will automatically try for a site that's in wide area trunking so one site being down can be dealt with to a degree, but if the entire zone is in site trunking, nobody talks to anybody else unless they're on the same site.
In our county, each radio has a site trunking zone that forces the user radios to a single site; if this happens everyone in the county is to switch to the Site Trunking zone so that agencies throughout the county can at least talk to each other.
