First time ever I'm looking forward to a warm and dry winter. I had a pretty significant heart attack on Friday afternoon then a bunch of complications and I'm pretty much laid up for the next two months. No shoveling means I want no snow. Sorry all... :) 

Wow. I hope for a speedy recovery, happy that you are still here

Just relax and read old snowstorm threads :)

Glad to hear you are OK and doing better now. There is always somebody that comes around after it snows and offers to shovel. So don’t worry about that.

If last years storm hadn’t been a rocket it would have been one of the greats. At its peak I had full on whiteout on campus with the 4”/hr rates and 50mph gusts blasting snow between the tall buildings. That only lasted for about 2 hours.

Thanks all :) YouYou all said get a neighborhood kid... In over 20 years I've never had an offer, there are no kids (boys) that shovel and the couple with blowers have never even cleared the plow pile so I can get the off the street. Dozens of times I'd come home and have to leave the car in the street for an hour just to clear enough room to get it in the driveway while the neighbors would blow theirs out in 15-20 minutes.  Yeah man it's the friendly burbs ;)

Sorry after 8 days in the hospital I'm feeling pretty beat down.

Bring on spring! :)

Around here we had around 15" of snow and 6 straight hours of zero visibility and blizzard conditions during the day- the most I've ever seen outside of the big Jan 2016 blizzard!

It's too hard to scroll past posts or posters you dont want to read?  I do it often

not anymore - there is a ton of potential that has a very good change of happening - this is no 2011-12, 1989-90 or 2001-02 situation.

Ok there HM

I know, I actually miss the days when everything was in one thread in one forum.  It's like reading a book with different chapters.  I guess people dont like to read books anymore.
