Yeah that's the one I liked best, the 24 Deluxe. Glad to hear that you like it. The newest model has a clip that holds 2 shear pins so they're easily accessible, seems like a nice touch. I am curious about the Toro but based on how tough my Cub Cadet mower has been I think I'd lean that way.

I could almost see it if the bay was frozen and the ocean slushed over like last year. A sand bar that holds no heat at all would actually become a heat sink a few feet above sea level.

Haha no, when I said picked up I meant purchased. My wife did the lifting

Ice, snow, rain aaaahhhhh I just picked up 80 pounds of salt and 100 pounds of sand. Going to mix it 40/50 in 5 gallon buckets and put them at either end of the driveway. If I can't shovel at least we'll be able to move in and out. I also just spent some time looking at snowblowers for the first time seriously rather than just in passing. There sure does seem to be a significant difference between Ariens and most others with Cub Cadet not too far behind. It also seems that 2 stage will be more cost effective and lower maintenance over time. Am I reading this right?

When I lived in Tahoe forecasts like that were pretty common for about 7 weeks. Those periods were awesome.

I hope you have your shovel ready for this weekend

I didn't realize the eclipse on Sunday night is also a super blood wolf moon. Hopefully a good viewing window will open and it won't be unpleasantly cold out.

Check this out

I'm going to hold you to that.

At the moment it looks really good out there. Have fun dude!

You da man

Every year the first t-storm of the year gets earlier. The last few years it was February now it's early January. In years past I don't remember any in Dec but November for sure. Welcome to the new NC.

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain

After a rather rough start there's nowhere to go but up, I'm up to the challenge so now the weather needs to cooperate so we don't all have to go to a gym. We're going to dry out this year, it's going to happen. I have confidence

I'm just about 8 miles from where that Shrub Oak ob was taken and I got 2.6".

Well, shoot. My wife and I have been debating whether or not to commit to a 2 day outdoor event (in the hills of Dutchess County) on 11/3-4 to kick off holiday sales for her new small business. I'm not comfortable pre-paying for a spot that may be cold and wet if this end of the month scenario plays out to the cold side which appears to be the consensus at the moment.

Take that back No more, just no more...

Halloween will get snowed out again for the third time this decade.

I wouldn't mind seeing another one the day before Thanksgiving where I get 10" of cement that shuts down the drunken stupidity like we got in 2014.

103"? WOW.

Yeah there can be significant differences in max depth and regular clearing amounts. Like was mentioned in that writeup, 30" was out of line.

Hahaha

That 65 degree Xmas Eve a few years ago was wonderful. Mountain biking in shorts and t-shirts that night was something I'll never forget. There was a whole bunch of riders out hootin' and hollerin' and just having a big old time like it was mid summer. I wouldn't mind another one like that

Very few of the old clubs were as successful much later than that either. At that point small shows had transitioned to theaters rather than clubs but there was still a strong bar band scene and very occasionally the bigger bands would show up for those bar shows.

I remember that well, my neighbor didn't stop raving about it for days afterwards. That was a year or so before I started going there because they didn't like my fake id I remember that too. I also remember some of the incredible shows the club in Island Park used to get when we first moved to O'side in 1970. Most of the really great stuff, The Doors, Grateful Dead was slightly before that but until ~73 that place killed it. She used to live in Rockville Center right at the edge of the RVC Country Club. Nice house
