gravitylover Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Well, the basement was dry at 2am but not at 7am. I've been down there sucking it out 5 gallons at a time while moving everything out to the driveway. It's still coming in I think it's coming through one of the walls but the only way to know is to start punching holes in the sheetrock to send a camera in. This sux. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Water is still pumping out of the ground and our driveway is a half inch thick layer of ice from edge to edge. The street below is a 20 foot wide ice slick and the street leans to the downhill side so it's pretty sketchy to drive by and the downhill neighbors can't park in their driveway because they can't get out. We've been parking on the front lawn all week because our cars would slide out and right into the neighbors bedroom. What a pain in the ass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It's a good thing we have some warmth incoming or this would be there all winter. For the nearly 30 years I've been here the neighbors refuse to trim the growth between us and won't let me do it either so the driveway is in deep shade from mid November until mid February. Usually once the ice forms that's it for a few months, it makes its own little freezer where the temp will be 10° colder than it is 50 feet away. Last year I went through 150 pounds of salt and 300 pounds of sand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Yup. It's a 10-25 foot high wall of tangled, overgrown, unkempt ugliness. I trim our side smooth all the way up a few times a year and end up with piles of crap that just sits until it dries out. When it's leafed out it sux getting out of the driveway.

Suburban problems you've never known It cost me quite a bit to remove a diseased oak and trim the healthy one on my postage stamp. My good neighbor wanted to share the cost as the remaining oak branches were over his postage stamp. I told him as of now it’s my responsibility. In 40 or 50 years the trunk will probably have grown through his wood fence and fate willing, his grandkids can discuss it again with mine.

wdrag Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Slight heads up Poconos---interior se NYS and extreme nw NJ: Scattered sprinkles of freezing rain or sleet are possible prior to 9AM. If it occurs, it would cause icy spots. Caution--especially Poconos. 442A/23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 That little band of scattered radar returns in ne PA/nw NJ/se NYS is ice pellets. mPing has had some reports as well.

I was out earlier and had just a touch of mist hit the windshield while driving, thankfully it didn’t last long as it was still well below freezing. 28/25 currently under gray skies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late last night I walked out into the postage stamp, no jacket, just to feel the chill but not very cold Christmas Eve night. I was alone, as I’ve been for the last six years but then I felt I wasn’t. I listened to the unusual quiet of this inner city Sunday night. In the silence I found all I was looking for. The lights of a celebrating neighbor, my four very special snowflakes that regardless of the boundary layer …. never melt and finally looking up I saw through the overcast the light that has never left me.
