Northeastern US - Snows a'Coming - Philly to New England...

Alto Mare · January 24, 2015, 01:29:38 PM

We only got a couple of inches, but its heavy as concrete... very hard to shovel

Since it is a Nor'easter I'm sure we'll be getting some more later on.

It doesn't look too bad, stay warm.

No not so bad. Just got in from clearing the driveway. Took only about an hour. 6"+ but heavy! Now starting to drizzle. Glad I got it done early

2"-6" and I shovel, any more and the ATV mounted blade makes it quick and easy. Our snow is usually light and "dry" but turns to ice when it's walked or driven on so I like to move it several times during the storms. Fortunately I have a deep drainage ditch to shove the accumulated snow into.

If we don't get snow here and in the mountains it will be worse this year, good thing the wife got rid of the last of her pasture maggots.

Just came in my self. Me and the Wife finished plowing and cleaning up vehicles. Not much snow to mention maybe 3" of the whit stuff,but heavy as heck. No shoveling the driveway here when it's 250' and 15' wide.

Have a friend down the road who plows for a living, he keeps me busy fixing his equipment when it breaks or needs welding. He called this morning to tell me we need to fix his bumper after he backed into a block wall.

I didn't ask how I was laughing to much

With a wonderfully sunny day temps are just at 70 degrees here in San Mateo, I decided to wash & wax my car, now finished I'm sitting on my back deck catching up on some fishing material & enjoying a gin & tonic with the backdrop of the city of San Mateo in the foreground, Mt. Diablo in the far right, city of Oakland in just to the left of center & San Francisco to the far left if I could trim some trees!!! Beautiful day here in Sunny California!!!!

Yeah, you rub it in

. You know, if it wasn't that sunny there, maybe your deck planks would stay flat

I was cold but was a beautiful day.

BMITCH · January 25, 2015, 10:12:18 AM

Did I say earlier in this thread that we haven't had a whole lotta snow this year so far?

Well national weather service is forecasting 6"-16" more between now and finally ending Tuesday AM. Snow blower started with one pull. Glad I have one.

That reminds me of starting my snowmobiles. I haven't started them in 2 years. You guys are lucky you are getting snow. We are in a drought. We get warm sunny days but no snow to play in. Anyone want to buy a pair of snowmobiles and trailer?
