The Official Status Update Thread: Part 91 - Snowmageddon 2 (The White Death)

Was '67 the ice storm? Seems about right.

Up in lake county we got like 3 feet snow in 24 hours. No one predicted it. All lake effect! I remember jumping off the house into snow drifts! Yes it was AWSOME!

I raise you with a train snow blower!

I bet the snow mountain at the airport is crazy big!

A lot of places have the snow hauled away. Don't have the room for it, and it doesn't look good. Like some shopping malls.

I threw mine into the driveway next door.

In my defense no one lives in that house right now and I doubt anyone will be coming to look at it in this weather

OK, I don't remember that, but there was an ice storm somewhere in that time frame. I remember living in my dad's shop, where there was a wood burner for about a week, before the power came back on.

What on earth would I do with such a contraption? lol. I don't live on a railroad!

Do you know SNS? He gets rid of snow that way too!

You decide to go with 2-stage then?

Going to go to a couple of dealers in the area and see what they have - not so worried about having it *now* [i.e. if I have to order and wait that's fine].

Really liking what I'm seeing from Arien but still haven't nailed down anything specific just yet.

I think RnR has a theory about guys who use massive snow blowers to clean their small driveway.

 

[Suprtek]

Just got my driveway and walk cleared finally, with some help from a few younger stronger backs. I'm still wiped out. That crap is HEAVY!!

I'm looking at 22" to 28" clearing width - nothing monstrous.

That said I'm also in the market for a riding lawn mower - I suppose now would be the time to get the deal of the century :P.

Here in Camby it's a very thick heavy snow. Great for snowballs or snowmen but not so great for shoveling.

I know my back is going to be killing me tomorrow.

I want one! A little one! I'll build a model railroad and make some HO gauge snow!

I bought an extra snow shovel yesterday so my 21 year old could help me. I do not think we will even need it.

 

[Suprtek]

The only reason I did it is because its going to be so ridiculously cold the next couple days. Barring some emergency we're not planning on going out tomorrow. I'm pretty sure this cold is gonna turn all that heavy slushy snow into almost solid ice.

 

[MikeDVB]

The goal for me was to remove the majority of the snow so, if need be in an emergency, we can at least get out of the garage/driveway.

My house faces west so my driveway *shouldn't* get drifted over but we'll see what happens.

My son in Camby just posted on Facebook that he made it home. He only lives a mile from work though and drives a 1986 Crown Vic that weighs a TON so I didn't expect him to have trouble. He said he helped an "older" lady on the way home that was stuck....I'm afraid to ask how old that would be.
