NORTHEAST SNOWSTORM!!!

[Allhallowsday]

I think we got another foot!!  After shoveling that wet heavy crap in the afternoon, I was out at 4:30 am shoveling again - the sky was clear and the moon was beautiful.  I was miserable.  Shoveled about 1.5 hours at that time.  Later, about 3 more hours.  Sunny and "warm" I was sweatin' bullets, bareheaded in a t-shirt.  This is insane. 

Oh, and Happy, get outta my thread if you want to offer useless advice.   

[Mr. DS]

yep about a foot of snow here.  Supposedly more on the way next week.  I really don't care any more, let it fall. 

[Umaril The Unfeathered]

Patiently waiting for another foot of snow to fall overnight.  Why can't this sh!t happen over the weekend?

Or better yet, not at all?

I usually do about an hour at at time when I shovel.  I have a huge grain scoop shovel that's like a mini front end loader if you know how to load it right. I go slower when I shovel, and wind up getting a decent workout in the process. 

Shovelling snow with a huge shovel like that, you have to.  It gets me done quicker most times. Regardless, this last round today trashed my body. My shoulders feel like they were hit with a sledgehammer.

Snow is great.  I dunno how anyone can hate it.  It's marvelous.

It was warm the past few days.  I've been out in shorts and a hoodie.  Shoveling too.

[Mr. DS]

The snowplow guy got really ambitious and pushed a huge bank up into my neighbor's front lawn.  Sadly, my garbage cans were in the line of fire and were knocked over.  I'm going to try to dig them out seeing there are dirty diapers in there.  I'd rather get to that before the thaw.

It was 70 degrees here this afternoon, and I was outside in shorts and a Tshirt.


Just thought I'd let you guys know.

We've had a couple of snowstorms lately, one involved shovelling out for 2 hours and the other took an hour. Still I took my time and it was actually good exercise...don't mind the snow unless it gets excessive or makes things dangerous for people out and about...

Not jealous at all. No offense but I don't like heat and I could never live in Texas because of the heat. Or any other state without a healthy change of seasons.
Autumn should be gloomy, with a slight chill and winds blowing colorful leaves about. November should be foggy and the soil frozen. Christmas without snow? What an awful thought.
March brings giant icicles dripping in the afternoon sun - a sign of the approaching Spring. My life wouldn't be complete without all that 

I cherish the snow, even if it means I have to get up in the morning and shovel our driveway and sidewalk.

My corny ode to winter

I don't mind it in little bits (like around 3 to 6 inches) but this excessive stuff we've had lately has got to go..my body's getting trashed from all of this.  Not to mention having no place to park except on the street. Your neighbors always love you when there's a spot for everyone, but God help you if you get to that last spot before they do in a snowstorm. It's a bunch a' bulls*it.

Same here.  Christmas without snow?  Perish the thought!  Although I'm not a huge fan of actually having to clear the stuff off the driveway first thing in the morning, I love the way the whole world looks like one big Christmas card.

I was outside with a few of my neighbors today, we were shaving a few inches off the street and levelling it off so that we could park w\o knockin' the bottoms out of our cars (or anyone else's cars for that matter.)   It was around 39 degrees today and the stuff came up off the roads and the curbs nicely. It was a good workout, allowed us to go slower and pace ourselves.

It's almost 1AM Eastern now as I type,  and there's about a quarter inch of snow on all the cars as a result of a small clipper goin' through. I hope February is nicer. It would be nice to get a vacation from shovelling.

[The Burgomaster]

And now they're predicting another 14 - 20 inches between tomorrow and Wednesday.  Where do they expect me to put all this blasted snow?

[Raffine]

Our high today is predicted to only be 65.

When will this wintery nightmare end?



Oh, Wednesday we're back in the 70s. Never mind.
