Winter's Over?

[Greg]

I bought four new A/T tires for the Jeep last week so if the pattern suddenly changes you have me to thank. As long as Grassi doesn't scrape the summer wax off his powder boards, we should be okay though...

i bought a roof rake so we won't be getting more snow where i live.

Dude, this is on your head. ;-)

We've been so spoiled this winter. For the first time in a long time, there's no big storm on the horizon...and I bet we're all a little worried.

But who knows...maybe that storm Thursday could take a more inland tract......

blame me. I went out and bought a whole schwag of stormboots last week. kiss of death. should've taken my win and left the casino.

My snowblower is still broken and the guy won't return my calls anymore. Hope that helps.

A lot of forecasters define winter as Dec, Jan and Feb. If it turns warm for the 2nd half of Feb then technically winter is over. I've kinda of expected a warm up as I don't believe I have ever seen a wall to wall cold winter which this would be if it stayed for all of Feb. The question is what will happen in March/April. I've read some who believe we get renewed blocking and good shots at storms. That is my hope.

You are spot on, IMHO.

Looking forward to it.... but not quite ready for that yet...

I could be part of the problem too as I just bought and installed drift cutter bars on my snowblower

On the good side, I did break my 2nd shovel of the year yesterday while trying to clear some of the hockey rink that a section of my driveway had turned into :smash:

My 25" ruler in the yard showed its tip last night. Then again, MRV got 10" snow Sunday and 4" last night. It appears that NNE has finally caught up with SNE. I could care less how much snow is in my neighborhood anymore. I want it in the hills. Perhaps it's the change we wanted.

You need one of those flat-end steel spades. Kind of a manual jack hammer!

That's what I was using to break up the "hockey rink" and then the weight of the 2-3" thick, large ice chunks was just too much for the handle shaft of the shovel

Well, it's 5 degrees here so I don't think you guys have effed anything up, not yet at least.

I agree with the sentiment we could be in for an excellent March this season, maybe even an early April blizzard.

Would love a Big March...seems like forever since we've had one, but I contributed to the winter decline as I had my roof shoveled...worst case scenario..Spring Bumps.

Whew, I thought it was me finally getting a shovel for the trunk of my car. What a relief. Anyway it's not looking good for the next week or so in Jersey, hopefully it gets cold again after that.

The great news is that everyone has a mega-base including Sundown and Yawgoo!
For that matter so does my yard!

yahoo! it's our first dust on crust opportunity.

 

[soulseller]
