tarheelwx Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Since it’s that time of the year, I thought I’d find out what traditions you have for winter storms. I’ll kick it off: - Leaves on my yard absorb heat and help snow melt faster. So, a day or two before accumulating snow/sleet, I mow my yard with my rear bagger mower to get all the stray leaves off the yard. It also whacks back any long sprouting weeds that take longer to cover up. - Big breakfast (usually bacon and pancakes/waffles), but only after precip is falling and beginning to accumulate. What about you guys? TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonah Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Breakfast food was pretty big at our house too. We also did frozen pizzas and ice cream. Did that my entire childhood and when I was in college, I always made sure I had those 3 things before a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuiDBuD Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 When I was younger it was to make sure there's milk and vanilla for snow cream. The joys of adulthood and responsibility have replaced snow cream with gas for the generator and diesel for the tractor.Growing older sucks!
