It is just still hard to look at those maps and not laugh! Every state in the country except Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina gets snow on the GDPS map. If it wasn't for Western MD we would be the 4th and final state! Given our placement in the overall CONUS geography of the country that is difficult to do! Once again - I say we overachieve at underachieving! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I’ve been able to put off the problem for awhile, but figure I might as well ask for advice right now. Anyone have a super long driveway here? Like 50ft? That’s what my Charlottesville house has and I’m terribly frightened of what I’ll ever do if it snows. Between all of us in the duplex there are eight reasonably strong men, but I’m concerned we’d all die if there was ever a 10”+ snowstorm. Should we all seriously consider pooling for a snow blower or a flamethrower, lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we all seriously consider pooling for a snow blower or a flamethrower, lol? My cul-de-sac (13 houses) banded together to clear our street in December 2009 (20+"). The street is about 80 yards long or so, and we had about five couples chipping in. We cleared it enough to allow a car to pass comfortably in probably five hours. With eight guys, you should be fine with a few shovels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a shit winter for many, if I *only* get 18" while others get 30", I will survive and be happy for others. I'd hope others would survive too.

My God that's just perfection. And cold leading into the storm! It's ludicrous.

Create shifts of 2-4 guys and get out there every couple hours depending on the snowfall rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we all seriously consider pooling for a snow blower or a flamethrower, lol? You won't die. My driveway is 200' long and I have shoveled it for 15 years. Lots of pretty big storms in that time. During the last snow in December my 12-year old helped. But for most of that time I did it solo. I will be 58 years old in March and am seriously considering a snow blower purchase at some point before the next Nino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
