The official Status update thread #227. Lets see what 2022 has in store for us

[bcannon]

I had a Stihl Br600 that sure beat shoveling.

I have a Milwaukee blower that beats the crap out of a shovel.

I've never thought about a leaf blower for the snow, now that we have a small driveway I bet it would work.

I wonder if Snap still has that one for sale

Mine doesn't like the deeper wet stuff but it's perfect for powder.

It works great if the snow is light and fluffy. I've cleared it when it's been almost a foot deep when it's like that. If it's wet and heavy though, it's just not up to it.

M18?

Howdy Coop, great outcomes yesterday. Would like to see atleast 1 more upset today. Would like to see the Bucs go down.

That's what I'm hoping for too.

You have to watch the BR600, it'll tear up the snow and the gravel driveway too.

We have a snowblower, but we don't really have enough to get that out today.

I don't think we've ever had snow over 6" or maybe 8" deep since we lived here.

I have two leaf blowers...I bet it would still take a while. The driveway is about 800 foot long. The tractor started so I'm letting hubby do it today.

Cole isn't coming now unless his dad gets called out. Apparently, they haven't had any calls yet so that must mean the roads aren't terrible. I'm good with that, but I would like to see him. Hubby has him tomorrow and Thursday, and we have him Friday on my day off.

I guess I should clean our house. I do my mom and dad's more often than I do ours I think.

It snowed for a month straight Jan-Feb of 2014.

Have you been outside yet? Hubby says we have about 4 inches here.

Agreed. Be nice to see some new faces for the final game.

This is the shortest driveway I've ever had, 150ft to the house.

The wind blew most of our around the side, so it's probably only a couple inches left in the drive.

Shoot, all we have is few flakes of dandruff on the ground!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Our driveway is probably only about 60' and two cars wide, so it's not bad. It would be nice to have a snowblower, but we just don't get heavy snow often enough to make it worthwhile, and plus I really have nowhere to store one. A buddy of mine has one of those ones that is really like a "snow blowing shovel" that he likes, but he has even less to do than I do.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Mornin' Chewie!

 

[COOPADUP]

my drive is fairly small so cannot bring myself to use a snowblower. However, when it’s a heavy wet snow, it can be quite a challenge.

 

[rkwhyte2]

Morning all

Ours is tiny compared to our old house. I've never measured this one but I would say it easily under 100', 75 max. And only about 12' wide.

Our old one was a big u shaped and parking area, but I had a plow on a 4 wheeler. Didn't make sense to keep it at this place so I sold it to a buddy, and bought a cheap snowblower off of craigslist to repair.
