The 3" we got yesterday, I will back blade it to the road and then pick it up with the loader and dump it into the ditch.
I've got an area(50x50') beside my hen house that I am going to turn into a 'snow dump' next fall. |
Man, what a day. Right now it's snowing hard and the wind is howling. Plows have been taken off the roads and they have canceled school for tomorrow. A person could get depressed.:O:
Now the good news. Wife and I and my brother and his wife are headin' south. On April 3rd we'll be on the beach in Montego Bay. After a very short discussion we all said, yep, lets get out of here. Something to look forward to amidst all this snow. Can't wait and hang the cost.:D |

It looks to me like you didn't get the right snow blower.
Maybe you should have got this one. Toasty warm and no walking. http://s261.photobucket.com/user/swa...gzqdx.mp4.html |
Some of us go way back! My dad had one of these for our 200' foot drive in Minnesota; shoveling was a task assigned for all of us 4 kids and it was so grueling I refuse to live where there's snow to this day...Even stayed home in balmy CA one Xmas when all the inlaws-my wife included- were at Tahoe for the holiday. Sure enough they had to shovel their way into the rented chalet!!! "and gentlemen abed in Napa were accursed they were not there"...to shovel!:/\\!!http://scotlawrence.smugmug.com/Othe.../Model%20S.jpg

could someone send me some of that snow please, we only get 2 seasons here, the wet and the dry.
|
It is raining now. Bye, bye snow. The rain will strip the snow off and suck the frost out of the ground.
|
I got up this fine spring like day at 6 A.M. to find 4" of snow on the ground and more coming.
YEAH SPRING! |

Not really. We usually get a false spring in late February or early March that causes the trees to bud too early and then we get a snowstorm and one last freeze. The snow in the picture above had fallen off the trees by noon the next day and melted off the roof causing a gutter to overflow. Six handfuls of Maple seeds were promptly removed from the downspout. It sounded like a toilet flushing when all that water drained out.:D Temps forecast to be more seasonable at 59 F today and tomorrow.:yeah: |
We were supposed to get freezing rain last night, changing to rain this morning. We got a inch and a half of snow and it is raining now.

Danger, Danger....
After a high of 62 yesterday...
The morning greeted me with the carbon monoxide alarm.:timeout: Shut down heat source!:dead: |
What are you heating with? Coal as I recall?

Side effect: My stove operates off a thermostat. If the air isn't cold enough outside, along with solar heating of the house, the stove goes to a low burn and the chimney stops drafting or it back drafts from the wind.:huh: Hence the functioning carbon monoxide detector.:dead: |
How did you fix it?
