Northeast blizzard discussion thread
- Thread starter I Are Baboon
- Start date
right now it's 6 degrees and there is about 8"s started at 3pm. And lucky me i'm working tonight. I'm a firefighter/emt so i'm hopeing people are smart and STAY HOME!!!
Jay isn't going to get much, but they have snow now anyway...
I hate Vermont. Cold and no snow. We have an inch on the ground now here in Northfield but it would take until June to get to any respectable amounts if it stays at this rate. Booo!

binary visions said:So, I just did what any good New Englander with all wheel drive should do when 10-20 inches of snow is predicted...
...donuts.
I also taught my girlfriend how to drive a clutch, and she did her first donuts - some great ones, too! :love:
nice Subie
And to the fellow who asked the question of why Vermont was getting no snow and Mass was getting hammered, it's because I deflect snow somehow and this is the first year I've been up in Vermont all winter...
Bwaaahhhh....berkshire_rider said:
Just got back from PSU (dropping my sisters off for the spring semester) and -8 with 9 1/2 inches and counting. Saw a bunch of accidents on I-87 and it's not even that bad that far north.
14" fell so far, and the snow is supposed to fall for four more hours.
there's a huge snow drift on our deck. i think i'm gonna be shovelling snow for 4 hours today. . .
added two pictures. the 1st shows the drift. miles is about 3'3" or so. the other shows the backyard. the snow is about up to the swings.

We got maybe four inches of powder, it's still zero F out. I will appreciate a day in San Antonio Wednesday, even allowing that it's a day in a city.

The blizzard sucks. Used the snowblower once yesterday. Later I went out again, it stalled (I think cause the snow stuck on the blades was too heavy - forgot to clear it out before using it again). I was yanking the cord on the starter and it broke right off and the stupid dealer has the electric starter on the blower but he didn't install it right, so it doesn't work, I gotta shovel like a foot of snow off my drive this morning :mumble:
Yup... Still snowing here. I looked out to this when I got up. Now I have to shovel it 
Stiil snow Very hard Here ! I can't see the house across the street ( or the street for that Matte)r. hard to measure How Much. But 2 of the doors to go out side have 3+ foot drifts in front of them so they are not opening . ( yet in front of my Garage door there is Nothing it all blew away ) my guess is about 18 -24 inches out there.
Well they were wrong then Babs because it stopped here in Avon - but the wind is blowing like a mofo out there now. Brrrrrrrrr.I Are Baboon said:
put some pants on that kid!narlus said:
Snow has stopped in Glens Falls/Saratoga, NY.. Total accu. I'd estimate around 18" at my house. Saw lots of cars off the road on the way to work this am. I think they were left over from last night. Roads are still a mess and I had to use 4WD on the highway the whole way here. (about 20 miles). Hopefully all this beautiful champagne pow-pow won't all get scraped off the mountain, I wanna go snowboarding on Tues.!! 
It was definately an adventure getting my car out, but I have a feeling there is more coming.
we ended up with a foot or so.
it's times like this that make me like my Jeep.
snowblowers are great.

Still Snowing hard here! and the wind is tough , we have at least 2 feet.
I just went out and just to get down the stairs was an adventure.

I walked to the center of town because i was bored, there was no one else out there. the drifts on the sidewalk were up to my chest, so I had to walk in the street.as soon as this thing breaks, I'm going out to take some pics
Crazy i'd go buy snow shoes.
I have 2 pair , going out snow shoeing laterSkookum said:

that looks so cool.
ugh...just back in from almost 2 hrs of shoveling, after my wife was out there for probably 45-60 mins. just about done. my rough calculations (and my back) tell me that we moved about 2200 cubic feet of snow. we have 2', and i broke my driveway into two rectangles (the long one roughly 70' x 7.5', the other being 28' x 20'). didn't account for the curvature, or the % of snow which would tumble back down if you didn't throw it high enough.
and snowblowers are for certified fitness trainers?MtnBikerChk said:

LMAO!narlus said:and snowblowers are for certified fitness trainers?
My programs do not include back pain brought on by poor posture from bending at the waist to shovel snow.
they help, but shoveling still puts too much strain on your back (esp if you're 5'2")syadasti said:
Wouldn't your "lower center of gravity" be an asset while shoveling?MtnBikerChk said:
We did our clean-up this morning. I shoveled off the walk and half of the deck and Squirrel cleaned out the driveway with the cub cadet and then helped me finish the deck. We got a grand total of 14" at my place so I guess the outdoor riding is over at SMBA for a little while 
I'm headed out there to snowshoe this week if you guys are going to be around?TreeSaw said:We got a grand total of 14" at my place so I guess the outdoor riding is over at SMBA for a little while
Shoveling is for folks that manage to keep fit without paying half a cee a year for time in the local sweat factory / STD exchange... :devil: :devil:MtnBikerChk said:
