The snow blower not my granny.
All to true. I am 100 % convince the is a small but solid core of FReepers who would have sacrificed the lives of thousands of fellow Americans (Yes Blue State Americans, but Americans never the less. Let us not forget that Jim Robinson lives in a Blue State. Lots of good solid Americans live in Blue States, not just government dole zombies.) if it would have kept ‘Bama’ from the ‘White Hut’.
That’s hardly been my life experience. I lived and worked with the National Theater of the Deaf [NTD] when it was located in Chester, CT and under the direction of David Hays.
I never once [some were 12 hour days] saw that amount of emoting on the street or the stage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwUsP8ZoQ_8
Your mileage may differ. :)
Still snowing here in Conn. Still have power, so I’m gonna make some breakfast and check out the work ahead.
True. THAT lady is more than most of what I’ve seen for the most part.
We got close to a foot. It’s pretty heavy, dense stuff.
We’re due for a warming trend with freezing rain forecast for Sunday night and early Monday morning with highs in the 40’s Monday.
31 inches here and still going. Dish can’t pick up a signal (probably too much snow packed around it). Seems to be fairly light stuff here, fairly cold for a snowstorm.
Not quite sure how I’m gonna clear a path to the road. This is way beyond my snowblower’s capacity and I don’t think the plow guy will be able to move all that snow. I’ll probably take small chunks out with the snow blower.
Fifty eight above zero is cold???!
Where do you live, in a volcano? (8^D)
Thanks for posting that great picture! We’ve had lake effect snow in the Detroit area twice in the past couple weeks. That’s kind of unusual. It’s fun to shovel with a push broom and be able to clear your driveway in three minutes!
That’s one nice thing about the extreme cold, it makes light fluffy snow.
That nor’easter stuff is pretty heavyweight.
It’s going to take you a while.
It’s VERY gradually tapering off here. We’ve gotten another couple inches but its’ very light and fluffy. I’m kind of waiting for it to stop to finish clearing the driveway.
Mr. mm had the snowblower out for an hour and a quarter this morning doing just the driveway and the sidewalk.

To make matters worse, I turned on the heater to my truck riding home, not on high however, LOL.
About 2 hours to do my long driveway. Had to shovel some, actually fairly lightweight till you get to the lowest 2-4 inches.
Still have to dig out my car. Might wait till I give myself a rest.
Nothing beats a 4wd ATV with a plow.
Bought one 15 yrs ago (Polaris) and it’s been a real asset in storms.
Plus it’s fun to operate.
Then you can take off the plow (3 quick release pins) and tow a sled full of kids.
Ha, that sounds like fun. Saw a ATV with a plow on my road, not sure it would have made a dent in this snow. Some of the drifts on my driveway were 4 feet high.
I had to make maybe 1/4 width passes to throw most of the snow, then double back for a second clean up pass.
I have a snow plow guy on contract, but last time we got near this much snow, he got stuck in our driveway and had to come back with a farm tractor and payloader attachment to finish.
Is your forecast for freezing rain as well?
