New England B.S. Thread

Thanks! I actually turned him down it's in PA which would be doable with TWE/road trips, but it's not deep enough. My goal is to be able to put a OT 26QT cooler inside of it. At least that's the goal.

 

Still no snow in Londonderry! Looks like I get to drive home without mayhem.

 

Yup, I keep checking outside. My shop is at the airport and nothing but gray skies

 

Not much down here in RI. An inch or two probably. NWS radio said something about them downgrading it because it was warmer than expected so less accumulation. Cancelled from winter weather advisory to watch (or visa versa I don't know).

 

We've probably got about 7-8 inches so far in SE Connecticut (Uncasville) and still coming down at a good rate...expecting it to turn over to rain/snow mix later tonight. That'll make cleanup so much more fun!!

 

I'm debating. I could go out and shovel, or I could leave it until my wife has to leave, hack out a spot for her to get out (camry), and just leave it for me (tacoma....)

Better to let the rain fall on snow than pavement and freeze.

 

That.... I'll get up tomorrow AM and take care of it. When it shows I make sure to park both cars in front of the house so all I hve to do in the AM is a few passes to clear out to the road.

 

A good 14" here and a lot more to go.

 

If it's a reflection of the lack of snow we got down here in Providence, or the size of my driveway...I just went out, cleared off the cars and cleared the driveway. We actually have good drainage so it made sense to clear out the snow and let the rain do its thing. Depending on the weather in the AM I will be working from home tomorrow, I'm out 11-7 for a training anyway so not going to trudge through crap weather to go to the office for 2 hours when most people will probably just not go in at all anyway.

 

Roughly 12” so far

 

Yeah but what about the snow?

 

I just came in from shoveling. We had 4" when I started. Another 1" fell by the time I was finished. It's coming down like crazy right now!

 

We've got like 6" right now. It's coming down steady though. This is from this afternoon

 

I started dinner then went out and did another pass with the shovel and cleared off the cars. Less than 15 minutes to clear it (remote start only goes 15 minutes and was still running when I went in). Didn’t do the side path around the house but

looks like rain after midnight might wake up to clear cars and driveway

 

I miscalculated. We shifted to rain sometime overnight. I didn't shovel or snow blow last night because I thought it was going to rain and freeze, I didn't realize it was going to warm up as much as it did. End result, less snow in the morning than when I went to bed, about 4-5" of slushy shit to deal with. I still ran it all through the snow blower because, why not. It surprisingly did pretty well, saved my back because this crap is heavy!

 

We got about 7-8" in Wilbraham.....(next to Springfield). It is the kind of snow that makes great snowballs and snow forts.

 

I haven't started shoveling yet, but we've probably got 14" right now.
