Re: White stuff falling out of the sky

yup - we are supposed to get a whole lot through Wednesday  - when the forcasters say " paralyzing blizzard" - it's time to pay attention and prepare.

Re: White stuff falling out of the sky

Don't get nearly that kind of snowfall around here (at least at my low elevation)..... so I have to ask,  where do you shovel it to?  Seems like you wind up just moving it out of the way for a bit and then have to dig twice as much to do something like clear your entire driveway. I do understand why snow-blowers are popular, but don't your neighbors get uppity when you bury their cars, fence, porch, dog-house, wood supply, (pick one)??

Re: White stuff falling out of the sky

Last winter we got 16" one time and that seemed  like a lot. If I had the type of snow Russell_Harding has I would move to a warmer area. That much is too deep to clear or for a snow blower. I guess they would have to stock enough groceries for the entire winter. How long does it take for that much snow to melt?  And then where does that much water go?

Classical -- ahhh yes that is the problem.  These storms this time of year ------   Saturday is going to be 50 degrees and rain -  guess what -  MAJOR FLOODING will be next.

Only thing missing from these scenarios are locusts ! smile

The closest neighbor is about 60yds away. And as far as moving it several times; NO.

I would guess your 16" was from the same storm that gave us 32".  And yes, the snowblower wouldn't cut through that much. I had to shovel the sidewalk by hand. Once I had the walk cut through to the driveway the plow took over. Here is the finished product.

Re: White stuff falling out of the sky

I haven't seen a single flake of snow all winter, so please keep posting the pics just to remind me what it looks like.

This morning at 7:30. Around 6" on the shed and coming down heavy. Closer to 10" now at 9:00.

I have a video of our youngest dog experiencing his first snow. I'll post a link to that later. I need to upload it but I need to move some of this snow first.

Re: White stuff falling out of the sky

Here's the short video I took this morning. We have about 11" right now and it seems to be winding down. Now the wind is howling at 20-30mph and blowing all that snow on my nice, clean driveway. sad

Th largest dog (an Akita) is only 8 months old and had never seen snow. He loved it. He was ramming around so fast that I had a hard time keeping the camera on him. The other 2 are old hats at this snow thing. The poor Jack Russell; the snow is as deep as he is tall.
