Baroclinic Zone Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 March 2013...bring on spring. Wait, no. no way I'm calling it. This one just required more effort than normal to clean up. More than the last blizzard. Snowblower only good to a point. I can't snow low the end of my driveway as the banks are 6' high. Had to shovel more than I normally do.

dryslot Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was surprised at even the snow depths just north/west of you on CoCoRAHS were anywhere from 21-27". That's about the same as VT east of the Spine, but I figured the foothills and western coastal plain spots would've been around 3 feet. The highest snowpack in the state of Maine was literally on the coastline. Very rare I'm sure to have the beaches with more snow than the foothill towns. It is strange, But most of these larger event were to far east for the foothills and mountains and stayed pretty much all snow for the coast and coastal plain due to lack of taint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Had to knock the banks down some today.... Spread it out is actually more accurate. Just getting dangerous with 10 foot mounds at the end of the driveway. Companies I heard are charging upwards of 1000,2000 dollars to clear roofs, just absurd and taking andvantage of people. Good luck getting anythimg snow removal related right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Was definitely a very tough job snow blowing with the arctic wind blowing back in your face. Had to say fook it and blow it across the street, downwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Do kids still shovel walks for folks? When I was a kid ("back when I was a kid......."), we'd shovel our own walks/driveways and then walk down the street knocking on doors to shovel others. We'd get like $5 bucks a house (one guy actually would give us $8) and make like $50 bucks a storm. Big takings back in those days. Of course, I used to walk down the road with my lawn mower when I was a kid and mowed peoples lawns, too. $3-5. Shoveling was way better money.
