The Great Snow Storm of 2019

[ghuns]

I hear you. If I had a little more driveway to do I would go that route.

I have 150' of concrete driveway to the garage and about 180' of gravel to the barn. The barn driveway is cut through a hill about 3' deep. Both drives run east/west. There are miles of wide open fields to north of me. If we get 3" of snow and a good north wind, that barn driveway gets filled in flush with the yard on either side FAST.

I have put up snow fence in the past. It really helps, but I'm lazy. I'd rather roll the dice that we won't have too much snow and deal with it if I have to.

Still a few days out, but there is potential for a mess.

Bring it! Snow tires have been on her car since the November icing and are going on mine Thursday.

I love snow...especially on weekends.

 

[Super Bee]

Well.....it is winter after all you know.....

I know, I know. I am just getting old and curmudgeonly, the older I get, the more I hate the cold. I am ready to move down to the Villages and have dinner at 4:00 at Shoneys.


I have been in Florida the last four weeks and just returned, havent had time to ease into the weather.

I really don't have enough driveway to warrant digging the tractor out where it's accessible but given the dire predictions I might know what I'm doing when I get home tonight. We've got an older Craftsman snow blower that has worked great for us but I had to put a new chicom carburetor on it last year and since then it won't hold enough rpm to do much more than push snow around. I just can't bring myself to buy a new snow blower given the scarcity of snow blower worthy snows south of Indy.

Okay, maybe not that great, but the most we've had so far... Just went out with the leafblower to clear a path for the dogs off the back deck. Looks like I'm going to be shoveling the driveway. Snow is so wet and heavy that the leafblower just isn't cutting it. It's times like this that I wish I had kids! My back is getting tired just thinking of it.

If you're going to be out shoveling, take it slow and easy and take lots of breaks. If you're fortunate enough to have a snowblower or a plow, then bite me.

You had to go and run your mouth. Now we're getting a blizzard.

You probably lost that bet, badly, depending on where in Indiana you are.

Two words. Snow. Blower.

I was thinking two words....BEER RUN

 

[churchmouse]

Absolutely no issues with the snow. We are stocked up. I have a kitchen re-model in progress. Most all the materials in hand. Football on Sunday. Bring it.

Got beer? What time is the party? Lol


Reality is if we get a foot or more, the shop will likely have all hands on deck

Work told everyone to take their laptops home last night in case they ordered us to telework today. When they sent out the alert, I looked at several weather sites and I never figured out what made them even consider it. I see this morning that there are some icy spots out there, but mostly up north and mostly on side streets. Now tomorrow, I'm going to request to work from home. Already working from home Friday.

 

[churchmouse]

The extended shows a Mix tomorrow. Then snow on Saturday. High possibility's for maybe 7 hours. Not seeing the 7+'s in this one.

Nah. Up north, we are still winning, hugely.

And I'm smack dab in the lake effect area.

 

[Trigger Time]

I want a blizzard of 78 repeat. Bring it on

This morning "they" were saying 9-16" possible up here. Revised to 1-3" lately. Ready for more snow - got all the cross-country skis out.

............................ - got all the cross-country skis out.

I was once told when getting into cross-country skiing, to start with a very small country. Found out none of 'em are small enough. Still liking my snow blower!

 

[HoughMade]

This season at my place, seems like we're the epicenter of snow. We've consistently had about twice the snow I see just a few miles away. Last week, every else got 2-3" inches, we got 6". The same thing happened with the snow in November. Go figure.

I've got supplies for some painting and trim work and gas for the tractor and plow, so bring it.
