cetoole Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Still coming down here, in the 1' range so far.
cetoole Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Dang, and you with all those shovels at the ready.
tkam Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 yeah typically shovels good for digging holes aren't so good for snow removal.
The Monkey Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Feces colored, 2 ft deep Now, that's not fair. Surely some of it will be urine-colored?
aerius Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 And here in Canada....we got nothing. You bastards stole all our snow.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I didn't do a lick of shoveling, going to do it all tomorrow. And here's something I didn't realize: I thought it always got warmer just as it started to snow, but here it stayed in the 20's all day, so all that snow that didn't melt is going to stay not melted and just blow around a bit. So all you shovelers are still going to have small drifts to clear up tomorrow. On the other hand, if I had a pair of skis*, this would be fucking GREAT skiing weather. *...meaning of the cross-country variety.
mypasswordis Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 The problem is it's still snowing, last I checked, so there's more to be shoveled anyway. When we "finished" there was already a thin layer of half of an inch to an inch on where we started.
Dreadhead Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 You obviously did not spend winter in Michigan during the storm of '78. 23 inches in 24 hours. Hoping y'all don't get buried. No I didn't but by my count at my house I'm north of 25" since around 9pm last night.
laxx Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 How's the snow piling up Monkey or Jin?
Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I wish we'd had enough here to bother having to shovel. There hasn't been a good snow here in a great many years. But then I live right next to the sea which doesn't help. 2 miles up the Hatton road to my Grans old house and it might be 10 inches for all I know. Had to pour a few buckets of water over the car earlier this evening though to get the half inch of ice off.
laxx Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Meh. Not too bad. I'm glad as the only person home is my father, who has to shovel while I'm not home.
aardvark baguette Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Apparently some dude walked his snow blower up and down the block, as my sidewalk and front of my driveway appear to be clear I don't even know who to thank.
The Monkey Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I thought it would be a great idea to watch "Home Alone" with my 3-year old recently. The old guy above freaked him out.
HeadphoneAddict Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Apparently some dude walked his snow blower up and down the block, as my sidewalk and front of my driveway appear to be clear I don't even know who to thank. I do that all the time with my snowblower and go down the block to the mailbox and back. It practically pulls me along and makes it easier on my old bones.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 ...my dad can't be bothered to figure out how to use the monstrous expensive snowblower we bought many years ago...So why don't you figure it out for him? Carpe snowblower!
justin Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 made "progress". the snow on top the car is about 1/2 the snowfall. i got it cleared off once last night to try and keep up with it (fail). now i'm looking to get it out of there and into a parking garage or there will be pico slim delays
HeadphoneAddict Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Good job Justin - that's impressive.
justin Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I hired 2 guys from a local restaurant i was just at and made an offer to motivate them to do this now. Now its done and I'm no longer a prisoner. That was some good shoveling.
Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Well played sir. I nominate you as new lord of the shovel.
MomijiTMO Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Hmm after considering the amount of effort it took to get your car free from the snow, I'm happy we have no snow. The trade off is crazy hot summers.
