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

[Suprtek]

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

You found someplace that actually still had shovels?!

 

[RedneckReject]

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

I might or might not know him

dang good deal in'a classifieds......if ain' gone......If I could'a swung it(ask price)......it'd done be GONE.....

I'm sorry but I can't read whatever language it is that you just posted. It appears to be a variation of 'English' but I'm not going to take the time to decipher it.

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.

Funny how that perception thing works, ain't it?

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.

Trust me, you want 2-stage. And, the big company's are now making lawn mowers.

Yeah...he's 21 so I guess to him, I might be in that category! I did ask but he didn't answer so I'm thinking that she might have been like 35 or something.....

I planned on getting a 2-stage for the simple fact that I can't rule out having a gravel driveway sometime in the next 15 years and whatever machine I buy had better last that long [obviously with proper maintenance and probably a few replaced parts].

But yeah - not sure what kind of mower or blower I am going to get just yet.

It's really simple. if he had the $$$, he would own it.

To me anybody that is obviously not from my generation or younger is 'old' and anybody obviously not from my generation or older is 'young'.

I wouldn't think poorly of somebody calling me either old or young - I am who I am regardless of what label is applied.

I read it once start to finish and when it didn't make complete sense I didn't go back and re-read, and re-read, and re-re-read until I was able to sort out the lack of grammar, correct spelling, and English sentence structure.

I'm not putting him down - but if I can't read and understand it in one pass I'm not going to waste more of my time to try and sort it out.

I'd only get a 2 stage, and as big as you can clear your walkways with....in your case, 28"

where? I need one too, my little sand shovel ain't gonna cut it with this snow!

Ahhh, to be ONLY 35 again. Its such a cute age.

Let me try this again. The company's that make snowblowers make them in the spring and summer months. They make lawn mowers in the winter months. I needed a snowblower a while back, the store had to get one out of a store that had one in stock. I think it came from down south. Took 2 weeks to get it.

I got it in one pass, that's prbly just me though. I have lived in many other places.

Yeah, it's no big deal if I have to wait 2-4 weeks - I honestly am not super worried about it at this point but would like to have it moving forward say for next year.

As far as the lawnmower - I'm going to need something when spring comes. I can push mow my .75 acre lot but would prefer not to .

My Great Pyrenees playing in the snow... She is like 30" at the shoulder!

Walmart....

I bet I get in and out in record time tonight! If I was man enough to go... Which I'm not!

Nice! One of my dogs is half husky. Once I let him out to pee in this weather I can't get him back inside
