Winter Storm Warning

Greetings!

10:30am

The snow has stopped now and some wind is kicking up. I got about another 1 1/2″ while I was clearing the top driveway. The front steps were clear when I started and needed shoveling again a couple of hours later.

My little snowblower was not happy about taking foot deep snow all at once. In order to not break the belt and end up shoveling I had to take about 6″ swaths per pass. It took a couple of hours to do the top driveway, around the cars, and in front of the work shed.

As I finished up I couldn’t help thinking that the three quarts of premium that I just burned could quite possibly be the best $2 that I had ever spent.

After my lunch break I will fire up the plow truck and go after the private road. That won’t be pretty with the frost out of the ground and a lot of snow. As one guy at work phrased it yesterday, I will probably end up doing some landscaping as the plow rolls up sod and gravel.

Here is a winter classic look.. the snow-hawk.

It started snowing heavily again and I was getting pretty wet so I took a break from digging out to get a few pictures. My official tally is 11-12″ but it is still snowing at a good clip. There isn’t much question that I will cross the foot mark. Click the image to get a bigger version.

Yes Sqib, a fellow could certainly find some back roads to play on with the snowmobile. I just wish that it was Feb 24 instead of March 24th!

It is still snowing here. When I went out a little while ago I measured 11-12″, and the radar shows a couple of pretty good waves still heading this way.

  1. Looks like you guys are in for some more snow. We were thinking of doing some [very] late season skiing up at Rib Mtn, but it fell thru…. Again, if all this only happened back in Feb. Uggggh!
