Letting it melt isn't an option unless you want to wait for the cutter at D10. Something like this push shovel works great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they make ones that have a bent handle too, kind of like a curved shaft string trimmer. Of course, if he doesn't have one, doesn't do him much good now.

tamarack Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looking toward the road. Between the birches the trees across the field are visible as a dark are. That's my 1/4-mile view for judging whether the rate reaches S+. It was merely S when the pic was taken but we had maybe 15 minutes around 11 AM when those trees disappeared. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Rain 32 A couple days ago I only listened to TWC and whatever weather updates I get on FB. I purposely did not stay on here like I did the entire week before bc I didn't want to make myself crazy. Still it sounded like Thursdays rain would change to ip/zr late at night and then to a nice burst of snow for Today. Sounded like a covering of ice and 3-4 inches of snow was a lock and with the flash freeze the roads would Be a disaster and temps fall into the teens by dark with bitter wind chill and snow tapering to flurries. I even thought weight held on to some old snow and have a net gain. Wow, feels like a 1980s bust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't paid full price in years. The push shovel I have I bought for a $1 at Walmart during an end of the season clearance sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
