keggerz Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 just heard that Philadelphia got 26.7 inches, 2nd biggest snowfall in history (bilzzard of 1996 only one with more snow). I lived in Horsham during the 96 storm...I remember backing my car out of a 5' drift and the entire front end impression was embedded in the drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Were you referring to keggerz' post above yours as he had a team name with that name? No, this is a Widowmaker snow. It basically means that overweight middle aged guys like myself are often put in an early grave by shoveling too much too fast by a heavy, wet, deep snow fall like this one.

pig devilz Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Clears snow really well and now I should be able to fire back at the plow bastard when he drops his crud all over the end of the driveway. absofugginlutley! those bastages are one of the main reasons i bought mine. that, and the retard that drives that dam bobcat plow up and down the sidewalks! the turd even does it after the sidewalk is clear but pushes HUGH boulders in the walk way and driveways..... relatives report 20 inches in the Reading area of Pa anybody seen Menudo?

Skippy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't what we have here in Pittsburgh other than a major mess. I have been in snow deeper than my knees and I don't think that it is drifted snow so I really think we must have areas close to two feet. My house has been without power since 8:30 last night and I had to make my way into work at 6:30 am this morning. I really hate leaving my family at home like this as I am now stuck for a least a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suture Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) To add insult to injury, my girlfriend's DirecTV is down. So I can't even watch the Superbowl. 27"+ here. Anyone know is CBS will broadcast it live over the Internet? I can't find any mention, so I'm thinking no Edited February 7, 2010 by Suture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 i hear MORE is coming later this week! I was just going to add this exact thought. Supposedly, overnight Tues into Wed the area may get hit with another round. Maybe, my area will finally get something to speak off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoMan Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That sucked. I spent about 7 hours shoveling total. And more to come tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) I have heard at least 8 more inches tomorrow night, we had over 30 here in Hagerstucky. My snow blower has already paid for itself Got a bottle of Captain Morgan from 1 neighbor and a case of beer from another for letting them borrow it I pissed off the snow plow guy too as I cleard it out as quick as he put it back, he finally gave up Edited February 8, 2010 by T_bone65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just bought a new Ariens 24" but there's so much thick ice on the drive already that it's struggling to get over it. Clears snow really well and now I should be able to fire back at the plow bastard when he drops his crud all over the end of the driveway. I have an Ariens as well. It will be used this afternoon and likely again tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have an Ariens as well. It will be used this afternoon and likely again tomorrow... Yep. Six inches on the drive when I went to work, deeper when I get home. Up early Tuesday to do it all again. Damn southerners don't know what fun they're missing.

Damn southerners don't know what fun they're missing. Working from home today, so I havent had to deal with it...yet. I'll go out in a while to clean up the driveway so the wife can get in easy with her car. I dont envy her commute this afternoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Panic ensues over a quarter inch around here. In Austin TX when they had a couple inches a few weeks back, the radio was telling everyone to stay home. Offices, factories, schools all closed.

TimC Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We dodged it. Only got 3 inches. Driveway is clear without having to shovel this time! Probably all rain tomorrow. Our Arlington office is shut down tight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where knowing the side streets is incredibly handy, if you can make it work for your drive. It's not necessarily that the highways are in terrible shape, but there's way too many idiots out driving on them that I want to avoid in that situation. Ursa, I hear you on the berm and the ice. I just hacked mine down to the pavement yesterday afternoon, just in time for the new snowfall. The good news is the blower won't have any problems clearing the driveway now.
