seriously, I have never liked or understood it, other than to disrupt people's circadian rhythm
-
birds chirping, nice balmy 18 with light breeze...i seriously thought, hey it ain't too bad this morning, it's 18... imagine what 40s are going to feel like..
-
that was also the last winter I recall having so much ice that just wouldn't melt because of the sustained basically climo cold and no torches, I lived in Waterbury then and we had a similar snow to ice storm, don't remember what date, but the driveway and walks were completely hit that winter
-
that's pretty much what I'm at too...31.6, so I'll take 8.5 to get to about half of climo at this point.
-
I think that's about what I need to get to 40, I have to check, but not a storm over 5" all season, what I'd give for a big dog and straight to warm... preaching to the choir I know
-
if I had a buck for every week plus model storm that hasn't been in the last few years I'd be a little richer... I had a feeling this winter was going to be bad, but it ain't the bad that most of us like, at least it's felt like winter, and we still have something on the ground, for over a month now, that's impressive considering last few years
-
This is something, was just talking to a couple of Winsted folk, and the town (and most others in CT) are out of salt, the state has been delivering to them limited amounts. No ice melt to be found anywhere for a few days anyway, and our driveway is still locked in ice, even direct sunlight areas... I love winter and weather it brings, but I'm about done at this point, never thought I'd say that in Feb... guess I'm getting old.
-
man it's a different kind of cold out there, not sure if it's the insane amount of ice, wind, but temps ain't crazy cold, just feels worse. my driveway is literally a skating rink of about 2" solid in shaded areas, I was out for hours chopping yesterday, coop door is hit, frost heaves damn near moved the whole thing. hoping for something substantial, but this ice gots to go first...we leave 3/1 for Tampa spring training, and watch, that'll be when it happens.
-
yeah I hear ya, the ariens also has a stick, only for the vertical shoot, what I don't like is to rotate the shoot, I have reach around and crank a handle, used to just have a linkage on the main controls I would rotate, that didn't need fixing, but I do enjoy the 0 radius turning, makes quick work on the driveway, a broken walk is tough though.
-
how long do the batteries last, cleaning dense stuff? we just got a new ariens a couple years ago and went 28" 360cc, that thing blows the densest snow like 25', only thing I don't like is they switched the gears to opposite of the old one, so took a while to get used to that, overall nice machine, we debated getting an ego
-
yeah I'm about the same age, was thinking maybe 93-94 in terms of temp, it was cold that season but not much snow, that I remember anyway.
-
picked up another at least .75" sometime after I went to bed, roads, driveway, walk are an absolute sheet of ice, driveway looks like about a half inch of straight ice, told wife to just stay home today, and I ain't going anywhere... let the sun cook
-
crackling branches
-
wind whipped ripping snow atm, man what a crazy day
-
yeah it's odd, that's north Canton, that area is basically woods, couple homes is all, 5.5 in Suffield was an official ob too?
-
I usually take a screenshot of the pic, it reduces the size so it can be uploaded, I had the same issue for a while until I figured that out.
-
back to peeling paint with occasional paws...also, I'd like to know how this measurement was taken? nobody close to this area broke 5" i promise that.
-
damn
-
it's cat paws mixed with IP/RN, really coming down more and more paws every time I look out
-
saw that before, that cold is really rushing in too... absolutely pouring with IP mixed in here. still at 30.5...
-
chicken coop took a beating today, gate broken, and just going to get worse until tomorrow, and it'll be freezing...new coop for the ladies this spring is in the plans
-
never did get above freezing here, 30.7 was it now we are coming back down... driveway and walks are a mess
-
so serious echoes in NNJ moving up towards WCT...
-
at 29/28 right now, ZR drizzle with some IP mix, man it's a mess out there, not one town plow to scrape or sand/salt since before 6, roads are a mess around here. Honestly I prefer something on the ground if good accretion is expected for better footing
-
pretty heavy mix here, some lightening strikes in LI sound too..
