am19psu Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 At this point last year, it was obvious we were going to torch through at least early January. There is nothing remotely like last year setting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just filled up the snow blower and gas canister for the upcoming winter!!! Kiss of death? Let's put it this way. Last year I had the entire snow thrower tuned. Good as new after a few hard years work. This year, I already have 12 inches of snow in the log book. You know why? Because I put that dam near perfect piece of machinery in the back of the barn, behind all of the yard furniture, covered by piles of tarps and cushions. I left the dam gas from 2011 in the dam tank, without any booster. Then came Sandy. Well she knocked down a dam 100 footer right onto the back corner of the barn, resting the oak right on that beloved snow removal apparatus. When the tree guy came the following week, on Monday, what did I tell him? Clear the front, don't worry about the barn and the exposed equipment. Save it for later, after you help others with more urgent needs. Wednesday came, the nor'easter rain with occasional snow mixing turned into a 12 inch+ thump. The weight of snow caused further damage to the areas power grid. Traffic backups were incredible. The oaks surrounding the barn rained their limbs upon the already over burdened Tecumseh, who though down, held her ground as mother nature spat and kicked away. The tree guy in due to return in a few weeks. I might have to reschedule for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just filled up the snow blower and gas canister for the upcoming winter!!! Kiss of death? If you just did the snowblower with gas you'd be fine. The canister kills it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If you just did the snowblower with gas you'd be fine. The canister kills it. Well, you never know, we could torch in December and I may have to mow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslotted Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, you never know, we could torch in December and I may have to mow again. I wound up doing a final mow on Sunday. The mower is now winterized and tucked away, as is the trimmer. The snowblower has been de-cluttered, and made accessible. I lubed some of the bearings, checked the oil, and gave the once-over with a dustcloth, but I didn't dare gas her up yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Up in Bretton Woods, NH this week, hiked up Mt. Jefferson in White Mtns. Trail was rather icy above 3500'. Scattered drifts up to 2' at about 5000' at the ridgeline. Scattered snow here and there on frozen ground even at the condo. Highs have been in the low 40's but snow never seems to melt I guess due to an ineffective sun and a frozen ground. Gets down into the upper teens every night for the last few.
