Whineminster Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 we're on the verge of bitterly cold windchills, sub zero temps, HWWs, and squalls up the wazoo.....and all anyone can think about is if DC got more than 5" of snow this year. If this front came thru in December people would be all over it. Sad that it's come to this. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a nuisance really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 There was discussion about driveways. This is what happens when you don't have asphalt /concrete this time of year. Mitch posted this. I was very happy when I went to asphalt. Too many days like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my background I have no idea what you're talking about lol Dirt gravel driveways you can't get down to get all the snow off. It doesn't melt away like black top so it congeals, partially melts, and you end up with glare ice when it refreezes. I literally slid off my driveway while stopped once, plus forget about walking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...same deal here and the driveway is on the north side so it’s blocked from the sun until about this time of year. We finally got some dirt breaks today along the snowbank.

Of course, they might all blow away. Our area is under a high wind warning for 5A-3P tomorrow, first HW warning I've seen for our zone since Oct. 2017. Maybe the gennie gets a workout (and our 70' fir trees may get more than that.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live on a gravel road at the end of town maintenance. Paving our driveway would be like putting lipstick on a pig. (Expensive lipstick!)

Not many in my hood, many have driveways over a quarter mile long. They use small crushed grey stone and roll it. You can see them here. Not everyone lives on small lots.

The 4 Seasons Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Since it's March 1st i'd figure it would be appropriate to see where we are at so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
