Snowmageddon!

[PRasko]

I've been plowing that for 36 hours. Took a nap then back at it.

Doing the lords work.

Sadly Ill be lucky to see my road plowed by next week.

I live in the ******* corner of a county on a dirt road.

Im actually looking forward to using my snowblower. At the end of the season last year I replaced the crap plastic slides that wear down quickly with metal slides that include a metal roller in the center. I was having to adjust it every year due to wear on those plastic slides. After all I was pretty much running them along a rasp every time I used them. So they didnt last long.

The great thing is before to get it into the minibarn I'd have to tilt it back, set the end on the floor, lift the rear and then walk it into the barn until I could get the wheels on the floor. Now I just lift the back and push and it rolls right in.

I love running the thrower. We have several aging folks around us in the new house. I've been helping keep their driveways clear, (along with some other younger neighbors) and our own drive. I'm even making some paths for the little dog to go around in and do his thing.

Some people are too stupid to live. White vehicle, no lights. On my ass like I'm wanting some. Taught a guy a lesson for clearing his drive into a plowed street. If he gets dug out tonight I'll be shocked.

I do not throw snow from my driveway into a cleared street, except...

When my driveway is cleared and a plow comes by and seals it off at the curb with a foot of snow and slush, back out into the street it goes, from whence it came.

Need/want to make a trip from Indy northside to South Bend, right up 31. Full size Suburban.

Go for it? Crazy, go home?

Boys, we are getting soft. I am now cruising clear nearly dry roads west of South Bend. Cruised up averaging 50 mph, was never below 40. Most of it was one lane snow covered one lane slick but you could see asphalt color.

Cracked a snow shovel and had to pull out the metal coal shovel.

The only type of snow shovel I have ever used! Aluminum!

We have a brilliant one across the street. He has a truck, with a plow, and he was clearing his drive with a single stage snow blower.
Blowing it directly into the street and the neighbors sidewalk.

That's what I have, but I need a new one. The edge is all chewed up from use on mine.

Why not turn the chute to the side and send it into the yard?

You’re probably one of those dudes that rakes the leaves from the neighbors tree back into his yard, aren’t you? Lol

Can't speak for oze, but I don't have a snow blower. I'm going to shovel it back out into the road rather than lift 40 lb. scoopfuls of wet snow and slush and carry it to the yard.

I'm still using the same steel shovel I bought in '92-'93.

I don't bother with the end of the drive. I just drive through it. Getting too old to continuously remove snow when a plow goes by.

I try and wait until they're done plowing. If I've got my truck, then it's no big deal, but my little Hyundai isn't gonna like backing over a foot of frozen crap.

The foot-high barrier of snow and slush that the plow erected is more than my single-stage thrower can handle, so it's just me and a shovel, and I'm not about to lug tons of it across the driveway onto the lawn. It came from the street, it goes back to the street.

I rake the neighbors' leaves onto *my* lawn to mulch up. The organic matter is fantastic for the soil and so also for the turf.

Not with the leaves, but I've returned the mountainous piles of dog **** the neighbor allowed his dog to meticulously place on our lawn, with said neighbor's supervision.
