Snow Snow And More Snow

[Harrison]

That is a ditto on the Thomas English Muffins. The one essential food item if you get snowed in or otherwise trapped in your home for awhile. Down here we keep a supply on hand during hurricane season.

Hey, labworm! I'm right with ya! Two shearpins down, two to go!
I usually don't break ANY.
But the plows cut really close to the curb Monday, and dug up some really ugly compacted ice crapp
which was flung up and over the 3+ foot wall at the edge of the curb. That was one pin.
The other broke on a bit of cement which came from I don't know where.

Which reminds me, gotta go to Sears tomorrow and remember to bring the bag with the part number.
Because the youngsters there are somewhat clueless.

Same here. I busted one pin clearing the muck at the end of the driveway and then 20 minutes later lost another helping my neighbor when my blower sucked up a newspaper he failed to bring in before the snow fell. :what: That was the first time in years that I broke a pin. And two in one day none the less.

We haven't had snow....

But we've had rain, rain and more rain. My yard looks terrible. I almost had a shoe sucked off in the mud a few days ago.

Throw a $20.00 down and grab a dozen.

I hear you, Lab.

Glad I have this old beast to take care of it. This was from 2008, but the depth is about the same today, maybe more.

I think it's snowed everyday for the last 2 weeks. Looks like 12-18" this weekend with 40-50mph winds. I had to shovel the garage roof, the wind made a drift that was shoulder deep.

My neighbor sent me a text saying he had pneumonia and asked if I'd do his yard, so the old girl has been getting quite a workout.

I'm getting sick of driving in it. I have about 100 mile RT to work & back, half I95, half back roads. I prefer back roads to get away from the fools who don't know how to drive in it.

Ah well, come July we'll be bitchin' about the heat.

I have never heard of the Stormy Kromer hat, never.

Someone mentioned them in a thread here at the forum, I checked them out and purchased two, the first one was about a 1/4 too small, I gave it to my Doctor. The second was a perfect fit.

We do learn a lot of things here at the S&W Forum.

Ive always wanted a stormy cromer and a pair of ll bean boots. Pure class. I did buy a pair of rubbe bottom leathet top boots from an outfit that sells overstock in their bargain barn stuff, right next to the gun library. Those asian made boots leaked like a pair of converse tennis shoes. Regurned them for a refund. They said how an we ell if they leak. I said fill them with water and set them on your lap.

Some day il get the real thing. Wont be for a while. Collebe kids now think they are cool and keep them bought out.

With more snow headed toward New England, it's quite obvious Mother Nature bet on the Seahawks to win.

If you think back when all this bad weather started, I'm putting the blame on the air they let out of the football's.

THE MORNING. VISIBILITY ONE QUARTER MILE OR LESS AT TIMES.
ADDITIONAL HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATION. WINDY WITH HIGHS AROUND 11.
NORTH WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. CHANCE OF SNOW
NEAR 100 PERCENT. WIND CHILL VALUES AS LOW AS 18 BELOW.

Well, it looks like this next one is going to reach down here. It's showing 70 on Saturday, high of 50 on Sunday and Ice on Monday. I don't mind until it starts breaking my oak trees.

To the original poster, I feel your pain. We got it last year here in north central Illinois (just one of many reasons why I'm moving out in 3 months) Our yearly average where I currently live is 18 inches, last year we got 88 inches. So far this year we are at 35 inches, so I'm betting there will be more before winter ends.

The neighbor and I were chatting last night and he mentioned that the guy ( I don't get along with) on the other side of my driveways wood pile seems to be getting smaller and smaller. I told him no its just the snow is getting deeper around it.... I guess my snow blower is doing its job very well. Stay warm guys spring is just 35 days away..

What occurs to me is the stress on homeowners who have snow laden roof without the wherewithal to remove it. The home is such a huge investment and it is possible that an act of god, in insurance company terms, may devastate financially hundreds of families.

Here, the biggest roof-snow problem is ice dams. If nothing is done about it, the end result is water going through your ceiling. Last year, I roof raked, and roof raked, and roof raked. This year, we have a snow drought, which is fine by me.

Weather extremes is part of global warming.

Yeah - no kidding. You must've missed my feeble attempt at applying irony and levity to the situation.[emoji2]
