I originally planned my trip to city island to take photos this morning, because I was hoping to catch the full moon and snowy landscape in some of my photos. Unfortunately, when I got there today, there was no good angles to capture the moon and the landscape from City Island, so unfortunately that didn't work out. I have better photos that I will be putting up but I ended up taking over 400 photographs this morning and have a lot of looking through to do to find the best photos. Everything I posted so far was from my cellphone and not my dslr. I also have no clue how to do photography so I took all the photos in several different landscape modes because I didn't know what would offer the best quality photos in the conditions.

I didn't know it was safe. Thanks for letting me know. I'm almost half way across the river now just above Dock Street dam.

I'm down here at City Island at the crack of dawn shooting some pictures with my dslr, although I forgot my d*** tripod.I'll post when I get home.

These are the first big changes we've seen to the SPC outlook in a long time. SPC will transition to issuing conditional intensity information beginning with the 1630Z (10:30 AM CT) Day 1 Changes to Storm Prediction Center (SPC) Day 1, 2, and 3 Convective Outlook Probabilities of Significant Severe Hazards on March 3, 2026 https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/conditional-intensity-information/

Maybe he's being held captive by a map hating insane forum member, and that's actually an imposter that we're talking to.

I wouldn't say there's no chance. I think if enough gather in song and prayer, we still reel this one in.

Even if your blower is not a brigs and stratton, it's probably going to be similar to the video above.

I realized the word easy is subjective, but i'm pretty confident that it is. As a landscaper, I break my pulll starters several times a year, I can pull out a pulley, rewrap it, and put it back in with my eyes closed. https://youtu.be/DA5V1CdQ2hQ?si=rnWabasXm4In2ysp

It's really easy to rewind that @Blizzard of 93 .There's usually only a couple screws to get to pulley and you just gotta make sure your recoil spring doesn't pop out. Generally on newer equipment it's in caseed or attached to the pulley already. Winding back up tying a few knots, putting it all back together is pretty self explanatory. You also want to make sure you use starter rope and not just any old nylon rope. If you're in a pinch and don't have time before another storm., I would definitely pick up the starter rope and do it for you at no cost , but it's really easy even if you never done it before.

There's a few flakes flying out here. I'm out at the Animal Hospital of Rye in Blizzard's neck of the woods.

My mental image., was to blend the movie bloodsport with our forum snow contest but it ended up way too long of a story, but I kept a few elements. One of these days I finish it and put it up.

Well i'm not so sure Blizz was flatterd . I'm sorry @Blizzard of 93 nothing personal dude I was just trying to make it as ridiculous as I possibly could. Boundaries are not my strong suit. I can tell you I had a f****** blast making it though. Especially when deciding what bllizard actually looks like . You guys might not find my jokes entertaining, but you ought to see me while i'm writing them.

Congratulations @Blizzard of 93 on your big win.

Ha ha, I understand. Make no mistake Pal, I can think a lot of things to complain about too when it's that cold. The stars just look so twinkley I can't help myself . Lol

Yeah, it's one of mine too. The funny thing is, I bet our father's probably made us walk most of the time. Im not sure if you saw my post the other day but I'm not sure that your boss is my neighbor. I need to go out and get things put away tonight then I'm going to take a walk down and check but i'm pretty sure that my neighbor actually owns Lawn Doctor. I see Grand u Lawn all the time when I'm in Medow View and I think I'm confused. His trucks are off the road at the moment, possibly not even there. I try to remember that a lot of these township guys haven't been through the nineties or even 09 for that matter. The township came through once with the plow early today, but they didn't come wrap us up in the Ridge until between 6 and 8pm. The first pass driver went down Tall oak drive twice in the same direction, so all the houses on the left side of the road ended up with twice as much snow in there driveways. It turned out not to be a problem though, my 30 year old steel auger blower chewed right through.

Your story's brought back memory for me. My father, used to pull me in a sleed, too as a child back in the early eighties, from Valley Green to the long gone Hattie Harris gas station out by redland high school, just because him and my mother would never stock up on cigarettes before the storms. In their defense, I don't believe they quite had the warning time we had today. Unfortunately, my son's all grown up and moved out two years ago. I'm sure it would have been nice to have his help. They grow up too fast man. I really hope you get to experience a few more events with them while they're still young. Well, Fairview township just put a few tons of snow back in my driveway so I guess it's back to work.

Thank you for your duty and service to the United States of America . You are truly appreciated over here buddy.

Awesome both these guys deserve it. Snownuts is the only member that's always been respectful and kind to me. And training is the only person here that if I could take back some of the nasty things that i've said in the past I would. Congratulations fellas.

I'm looking forward to it.

Based on the forecast my plan was to get what I could off my driveway when I got home from my walk this morning then, after a nap hopefully come out and either blow powder or sleet encrusted powder off my driveway and walkways. Well, we know how that turned out. Fortunately, surface temps kept the sleet easy to remove with a snow blower without sticking and clogging without the use of silicone spray. Anyways, I'm super stoked about these bone-chilling nights coming up. As far as I'm concerned, any extreme weather, it is a beautiful day or night in my little golden book. I'm looking so forward to getting out and seeing some of those amazing snow-covered sunrises that make me struggle for words because of there beautiful clarity and biting cold sucking all the air out of my two cycle, exhaust coated lungs.

When I was out taking my measurements and the scooping off sleet there was a little light snow that change to sleet. I'm still adding trace amounts to my total.

I was definitely out in some heavy stuff myself this morning , but I think flake quality definitely killed my totals early compared to folks just north of me. The sound of the flake doesn't lie.
