Shoveling snow day...
Me & my "I don't like shoveling snow face"
Unfortunately not enough snow to make it worthwhile getting the
“Beast” (snow blower) out

Ours came down totaling about 1/2 inch and then melted away as temps rose to 34 degrees and the rain washed it away.

If it's enough to shovel, it's enough for the snow blower!

We have two levels here. The snowblower is needed (4 inches or so on up) or sweep off the porches and leave the rest.

You are dressed better doing outside work than I dress going out to dinner.
At least your smart enough to know when to use/not use a shovel.

Re: (pic) Shoveling snow day...
Ended up with about 6" here. Stopped about 2 & I spent the afternoon behind the snow blower. I'v got four places I clear for money and a couple I do because they let me hunt. Need to do one of those in the morning and I'll be done. Good excuse to poke around & see if anythings been walking around thats worth waiting for. I still have a week plus of bowhunting left & snow is a nice change this year. Last year by now I couldnt care if it never snowed again.
Re: (pic) Shoveling snow day...
Back Christmas before last it snowed here on Christmas eve and Christmas day . I have never seen snow on those days in my life . Think I was 72 then. Here was a my beautiful young bride making Angel wings in the front yard with just a night gown and robe and no shoes.. Wasn't supposed too tell that. But I think it was a pretty picture. And no she won't allow me to post those.
Re: (pic) Shoveling snow day...
Me too! We have a couple hundred feet or so of driveway, but it's level and packing it down into ice is a non-problem.J Miller wrote:When the snow gets deep I just lock the Pathfinder in 4x4 and drive back and forth till my wife can get in and out with out getting stuck.
