More snow
#%&$ing snow! Hunkering down for a rather sudden blizzard. Glad I caught the weather report or I would have been stranded up in CT, had to drive back down late tonight.
  I'll be posting pictures as it comes

Wuss.
I suppose there's a chance that their forecast is correct. Bring it! The plow is on, the snowblowers are gassed up, I've got a fresh pouch of Backwoods "cigars"...  After the first one is done, my enthusiasm begins to pale.

We've already had over 30" of snow fall this month. There is a 2 foot thick layer of snow on our roof insulating our house. Our mailbox is buried. The snowbanks on our street are over five feet high. I'm proud to have shoveled it all by hand even though we have a snowblower. Love it!
I hope this year's weather serves as a warning to all wimpy people. STAY OUT OF MY STATE!

I have been unsuccessful at finding a snow blower ( or "thrower" in Cub parlance), for my 782 Cub Cadet. I will now pay for that failure.
sigh.

The part you need to worry about is the freeze thaw cycle which causes ice dams. I'm already seeing plenty of those.

My musician son has a 10 day gig coming up with the Syracuse Symphony. They already have 6 feet of snow on the ground. He is hoping ( unrealistically) for a call that they have to cancel the series due to the snow, but they still have to pay him.

Not only does it move lots of snow, I can do the drive a lot quick vs using the little 2 cycle (which does work well).
