March 11, 201511 yr comment_676437 Our forecast looks awesome. The roads should be clear and dry enough to bike on this weekend, and we've had such little accumulation this winter that the snow might all be gone by the time we get back from California. Report
March 11, 201511 yr comment_676476 got home, turned the thermostat off, OPENED THE FUCKING WINDOW. ahhhhhhhh Report
March 11, 201511 yr comment_676488 ^^^ Sitting in front of an open window myself. It is MORE than just a breath of fresh air for sure.....! Report
March 15, 201511 yr comment_677096 Well, what was supposed to be rain most of the weekend was correctly predicted yesterday and a big pile of shit today. It was snowing and 34ish all morning so nothing was stick but around noon it dropped a few degrees and we've now got a couple of inches of fresh, heavy snow and it's still going. Shit cock balls I've had enough of this. Report
March 16, 201511 yr comment_677123 We have some slushy shit on the sides of the main roads, very wet snow on side streets. Still only about 1-2" a bit South of Nate's location. I think I saw some of this predicted, but it sucked to get my son to work in the middle of some biting winds and sleet-like snow..... Report
March 16, 201511 yr Author comment_677246 I've finally decided to get myself a snow blower as I've spent entirely too much of my time shoveling snow this winter. Time to start my research. Report
March 16, 201511 yr Author comment_677258 The driveway itself is ~60 feet along with another ~18 feet of parking space. The said snow blower would have to travel another ~75 feet (probably more) from the shed in backyard. Another bit is we end up with noticeably more snow than everyone else on our street due to wind direction and town plow. Edited March 16, 201511 yr by Salt Peanuts Report
March 16, 201511 yr comment_677268 You'll want something pretty substantial to clear that much space, Haj. I was hoping it was on the smallish side and you could get by with an electric one and avoid the hassle of gas-powered lawn instruments. In the good news portion of the day the near 50 degree temps knocked out most of the snow that we got yesterday and the driveway is mostly clear. Report

I was hoping it was on the smallish side and you could get by with an electric one and avoid the hassle of gas-powered lawn instruments. i wish that were the case. As much as I'm not looking forward to owning another gas-powered lawn instrument, I'm looking forward to not spending upwards of 3 hours shoveling/raking goddamn snow.

March 18, 201511 yr comment_677549 We have about that much driveway, and a very undersized/underpowered snow blower. 3 hours is about how long it takes us. Get the biggest one you can justify. Report
March 18, 201511 yr comment_677561 Get the biggest one you can justify. This plus I'd do everything that I could to get a 2-stage model. It'll throw much better in both light and heavy snow. I can live with a single-stage because the motor behind it is my tractor but even with that at times this year I had to blow snow twice to actually get it off the driveway. Report
March 18, 201511 yr Author comment_677567 Yeah, I'm fully planning on getting a 2-stage model. The tax return we just go will help greatly toward that since we got back more than we were expecting. Report

March 19, 201511 yr Author comment_677587 That setup is wee bit more than I want to spend on a snowblower. Report
March 21, 201511 yr comment_677981 I know this will come as a shock... but it's snowing again. It's supposed to stop by noon time but goddamnit, yesterday was the first day of spring. Report
March 21, 201511 yr Author comment_677983 When I asked my daughter about the snow, she said, "I don't like it. It's the second day of spring." Report
March 21, 201511 yr comment_678041 We got about 4-5" here in NJ yesterday. I finally had a driveway again, but nooo, so much for spring. Report
March 21, 201511 yr comment_678048 Poor shed X 2 I just popped it out last year so no suprise. Is there a decent free cad app I can use to draw up plans for the new "frame"? Report
March 21, 201511 yr comment_678049 That setup is wee bit more than I want to spend on a snowblower. Check Craiglist. You never know what it will spit out. http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/grd/4934952690.html That one would be a real arm twister if it had a mower deck. Report

March 23, 201511 yr comment_678285 Exactly one week ago we hit a high of 75 F. Now there's 3 inches of slushy, white bullshit all over. Report
