TOPIC: I Heard It Might Snow

I Heard It Might Snow 14 years 9 months ago #27669

Here we are in the middle of the deepest snow storm since 1922, and set to exceed even that.  Think it will snow?

This was 9pm Friday night!

I had shoveled the sidewalk and driveway just an hour previous.  The high winds make it impossible to keep things clean.  And all night it snowed, they say, 2" per hour.

Tomorrow will probably find me shoveling three or four times!

This is the front sidewalk, and dog bathroom (lower right) at 4am Saturday morning.

It had been shoveled twice the night before, as late as 10pm.

So what you see filled in in 6 hours.

I woke up the dogs who wanted to go out, of course.

At that time I had not cleared a path for them to go.

Neither appreciated it at all.

By 7am Saturday it was 18" or so.

By this point, the bathroom, again seen lower right, had been remodeled three times.  I had to enlarge it.  The dog can be so picky...

By 9am, with the continued snow and blowing wind, this had disappeared completely!

Saturday morning at 11am.

This is only 20 minutes after shoveling.

No point in cleaning the cars off.  We are expecting another 10-15" by tonight, when, they say, it is likely to stop!

You can't see this, but the snow plow has been by and the wall left behind the cars is 5' high!  I will have to dig through that to get to my inspections on Monday, if I can find the houses...

Jay, you've had all the luck this winter!  We've got snow, but haven't had anything significant in over a month now.

Jay,
You should also be aware that Casey and I are in Minnesota, and anything less than 18" is insignificant!  ;)

Your problem is, it doesn't melt until July!

Exactly... I still have the 20" from over a month ago, and we have had many 30 degree days in the last two weeks. Our snow is like steel !!!

Hey Jay and Guys/Gals

Is is Spring yet??

Jay you have had some big snows your way.  Keep it clear for the dogs man!!
(I need to go make a dog run myself)

I was fortunate at today's morning inspection to have a local, plow the vacant homes drive or I would of been stuck for sure. $20 and I was paid back for it ;D

We had about 6-8 inches, but were fortunate as others received much more.

Next year I need to purchase a better vehicle for gas mileage and traction. My Silverado is really poor in the snow.

Around here there are snow bans for parking in the street. I do not want to park in a vacant drive as I will most likely get stuck.  The last storm the cop stated you need to get it out of the street, I said you gonna pay for my getting unstuck? He said you going to pay to get towed!! I opted for the drive.

Dam ground hog always says 6 more week of winter!! Where is Bill Murray when you need him?
