...less than 2 frakkin' FEET!!!! :grumpy: LOL, it's really beautiful and all, but what a PITA when you're trying to clear paths and have nowhere to move it to! :D It's well up past my knees deep out there!!!

I was greeted with this today... The only door I could get open, which is a shame because the beautiful view is looking out towards the woods from my back door, which I could open, but the screen door is frozen closed....Ah, well, no pix of that. At least I could get to the truck....

I took these first... Yes, that IS a CGFBM for reference there, and it's 3 steps down to the driveway... :eek:

Oh, there's my truck... Under all that. :eek::D

Tomorrow, we'll see if the snow thrower will start after not being used for years... No point starting to clear the driveway until the township snowplows finish with the road first! Now... Where's my rum??! :D


As the Boss always sez, LOL... Let's Drink!!! ;)
 
Indeed.

Normally, I would be astounded and wish you luck in snow removal.

Today ... I only wish I had that little.:o
 
And people ask me why I moved down south. :D

After all those years living in MD and dealing with that stuff...... LOL :)

It was a little snowy out today.

I had to walk out some paths for all the dogs to go out. Corgis and chihuahuas arn't made for deep snow.

Too heavy... An INFI snow thrower might just be the ticket though. Forgot to have gas on hand for mine, so I have been out earlier today already to get some.... Nothin' like a Chevy in 4WD!! :thumbup::thumbup:

For those with cool neighbors, you're lucky... My NDN is a di... errr, nickname for 'Richard'.

It's hard to figure precisely. I've got drifts as tall as myself ...

I'd have to guess 32" to 36". That's just a guess. We got some wicked snow bands today and it really piled up. I'm nowhere near finished digging out.

Now ... now ... I regret the long driveway.:o
 
How about an Infi plow for that chevy. Yeah I suppose most people have a neighbor or two like that. I always shovel the old ladys drive next door so she can get her car in and out of her garage. Some people need a hand some time, you gotta help out ya'know. ;)

You & me both, brother! Wow, that's quite a pile. Yes, the wind did pull some drifting action here too, and we must have had one or 2 of those heavy bands also, because when I went to bed, I was thinking that we'd not be hit quite so bad...what a difference a few hours makes.

The other side of the truck was completely buried! Too bad I didn't think to take the camera for a shot, but I didn't want to take the chance of dropping it in the snow anyway. I have more "fun" on the schedule tomorrow, myself... :rolleyes:;)
 
Jaxx, here in Baldwin MD we got about 30 inches. Good Gawd as Rolf would say.

Just looking at the snow...

Went for a short but challenging walk through drifts above my waiste ( I am 6' 3")

Then, finally, the storm started to leave:

I really wanted to get out and beat my new NMFBM but I was having a hard enough time getting around with just my camera. It is HEAVY THICK SNOW!

What fun clearing the 800+ foot driveway with a POS snowblower!

Well, if yer feelin' left out... We could always send you some of ours!! ;);) ...Cheap! REAL cheap! Ok, Ok... What if I paid you to take it???? :D

I'd be willing to come up and pick some up, but you'd have to let me dig through you busse collection. I mean for the trade. :D :D
 
:rolleyes:My God! An 800 foot driveway. I'd just shoot myself.:eek::grumpy:

I've got a small snowblower. Naturally, it conked out on me.:grumpy:

There must be some clever, relatively safe way to get back at Toro. I'll have to think about it. After I've dug out. If I survive.:o
 
Hi Nef.
Jamie, Re: the snow blower; shoot it, stab it then light it on fire. ;)
:D
