NWI INGO General Post - Part 14

Oh 8 feet nice. That is a raccon fort for sure.
Its gonna rain wed thru fri so it will melt.

Im just showing a light drizzle Wednesday then some rain turning to snow Thursday evening. Gonna have some 40° degree temps but well below freezing at night. Make for lots of frozen puddles come morning commute. With the added 4" overnight. Im up to about 18- 20" here on North side of Hobart, depending on where you measure

 

[jedi]

That is still not feets and feets of snow.
This is all GBs fault he stoped the snow.

@klb
Are you snowed in yet?
I should go that way later this week.
Otherwise for sure the 1st sat in march as i have to go to vaplo then.

I had 14" before the 2nd round last night. We probably got 4-5" more overnight.

Definitely got my money's worth out of that snow blower. I'm glad it showed up in time.

 

[Ballstater98]

My measurements are an average of 4 flat spots in different parts of the yard and driveway. Drifts, 6' driveway end piles, & and the 6' mound I created to then make a tunnel for the kid to crawl through are a different story.

 

[Ballstater98]

Well if you were ambitious earlier, I notice anywhere that I cleared off that the sun can touch is making everything all melty in the driveway.

6 inches if that down here

6 inches if that down here

We have a solid 10" in far west (state line) Lowellabama. Tractor easily handled everything I asked it to do. Did 3 driveways this morning without the engine ever thinking of bogging down.

I was up in Hammond doing some snowblowing and they have a good bit more. The snow was over the top of my little snowblower. Took 2 to 3 passes to get down. The side streets are in rough shape, lots of cars buried until it melts. Helped out an older woman and got her walks cleared enough that she was able to salt it. Her son apparently didn't get her snowblower fixed? She's the "black" woman, apparently none of the whites or hispanics, all of which seemed to have snowblowers, didn't help her. So I did. WTF people!?!

 

[CTC B4Z]

That's messed up

Nope. Tractor cleared things up nicely.

I am home Wednesday and Friday

I help older people. Though not this time. My bad back kept me from getting my own.
People with teenagers, I figure the kids need to learn.

Bah.
I keep telling everyone, "What's the big deal?"

Jedi, you need to move east a few cities, lake effect is worse a bit east.

 

[repeter1977]

I think for sure next time I'm going to borrow a snowblower. My lower back regrets muscling through. Not looking forward to all the upcoming ice.

IIRC someone offered the loan at the beginning.

Why! Yes! Yes I do. 1 week ago.

If only your neighbors would help. I'll try to get it when I finally finish mine.

You could always borrow my snowblower.
You'd be done with both real fast.

[actaeon277]

I'm going to use my snowblower, but probably not till tomorrow.
Got physical therapy at 930.
Then lunch
Then work
I don't think the neighbors would appreciate it being used after 10 tonight.

We tend to be hard headed.

 

[2A_Tom]

We have noticed. But good natured and big hearted. Now big headed.

The races tend not to help each other in northern lake county. It is not unusal.
