SLAYER Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My Dad refuses to acknowledge that his snow blower is done. He told me he paid 150 bucks to get it fixed recently. We get there and this thing is shot. Now me and my bro have to shovel his whole place old school. Not a problem but his shovels are old small rusty cement shovels. This was some old school back breaking shoveling today my friends You said you were old school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Stuck at the in-laws and we're almost out of booze. Just melt some snow. I heard it's the same as Bud Lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Don't ever go there to do that task without your own shovel(s). amen to that. We usually just use his snowblower but when that died on us mid shovel we had to rough it Edited December 29, 2010 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Very cool! +1. Outstanding stuff. Looks like my back yard. It's raining heavily here right now, melting away a lot of snow but the temp is going to drop like a stone and leave sheets of ice everywhere tomorrow. Awesome.

Rovers Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Another foot last night. I never even did go to bed, so I'm shoveled out. Time for a nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've easily got 18 inches out front right now and we're still in the thick of it It's light fluffly snow though so shoveling shouldn't be too bad, working from home today though as the plows haven't come by in a few hours and the roads look like crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We've been in freaking lock down and for barely any good reason. It was supposed to hit on Monday, so everyone started closing early. Snow never hit until about 7pm and, at that, it was a light dusting. Seriously, I was at the bank at around 11:00 and the manager walked by and told everyone they'd be closing at 2pm. Because it was supposed to start snowing. Needless to say, business has been awful. I think we did about 20 people each of the last two nights. AND THE ROADS ARE FREAKING FINE. I mean, you need to slow down and not slam on the breaks, but as long as you're not a reckless dipchight... School closures, nothing's freaking open, nobody is out anywhere, because we got maybe 2 inches of snow on Monday night. At least it was just a Monday and Tuesday. When weekend business is ruined by these "blizzards" that's where I lose the big coin. It's such a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 about 8 inches here in Western Philly suburbs...just missed us again, thankfully. Dug out, kids home, but a somber day ahead. At least we are all home together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWmaker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Right with you on both of these storms, Rover. Was up at 4:30am to take dog out and shovel. Just got into NYC. Jeez, I hate the LIRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Right with you on both of these storms, Rover. Was up at 4:30am to take dog out and shovel. Just got into NYC. Jeez, I hate the LIRR There really isn't much they can do in this sort of a snowfall, I'm surprised you got in so early actually. Now, when it rains really hard and they shut down, no excuse for that. They just need to install some pumps in the areas that are prone to flooding. Snow on the third rail isn't something easy to deal with. Metro North has the very ugly overhead lines, but snow doesn't stop them, no third rail. They can't just run a train to clear it, it has to be plowed by a work train, a diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd understand that, but if they run more trains throughout the night, that would keep the rail fairly clean, IMO. I just don't know the logistics.
