I plowed it at 8" yesterday and now I'm headed out again to push it , but since I'm pushing it with the truck it makes it much easier.

I have done it 3 x's already and the snow is getting heavier. We have about 17 inches right now and its still snowing. We have extremely high winds and drifting. I figure if I don't keep up with it I'll never get out of here.

wish I was HOME!

I'll pretend the sand is snow and shovel it every chance I get, or every 3 or 4 inches.

Hey NYD is this years snow season worse than 96's noreaster?

Jason

This makes 96 look like a snow flake!!!!

I shoveled out the car, then the sanitation dept came by and plowed the street, everything on the street when up against the cars, so i shoveled again, and again, and again. It is never going to end. It is still snowing out since 2pm yesterday.
This will hurt business a little.

Where is the following option in your poll:

I am laughing at the people up north because either it never snows here, or very rarely and melts before it needs to be shoveled.

Condo

The one really good thing about condos is you don't have to SHOVEL any snow or CUT any grass!!!

Almost like living in the south, Scott. LOL

Cheers

I am packing it all and will be mailing it all to you. all 24" of it.

I fell about 3x's shoveling today, good thing snow is soft.
I can only see the roof of the diamante, the blazer works great in weather like this for a 87, the honda is somewhere in front of the house but i need to find it under a snow pile.

This is going to be one big mess once it all melts.
