Re: Nor\'easter
Pete:
Your Nor'easter started out west of us somewhere. I watched it's track pretty intently. We were sitting under a high pressure ridge with dry air and that pushed the storm south of us in Michigan and allowed it to come north through eastern Ohio, pick up moisture from the lakes and dump on Pennsylvania and states east of there. For a while, I thought I was going to get some early sledding in around the farm.

Re: Nor\'easter
Well Pete went to my wife's Christmas party in Burlington last night. The first real bad sign on the radio was the University Mall is now closed. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Next was the State Police saying stay home. Well got up this morning and went to the parking lot to find the car under alot of snow. Good thing for good snow tires. 35 miles and hour all the way to St. Albans. Worried about the hill. No worries. Worried about our road . The town plow was pulling in to our road as we got there. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Wondered if he would do the driveway but decided not to push my luck. 600 ft of driveway with anywere from 2 to 4 foot of snow the whole way!!!!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Snow came from the north. My snowfence is set up for east/west. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif 2 hours later and alot of fun we were good to go.
Have a great day and get to bed early. It'll be another plowing day tomorrow. Poor Derek!!!!!!! He and his Dad plow over a hundred driveways in Montgomery! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Good I guess if that's how you earn your living. Makes for long days though!!!!!!!!

Re: Nor\'easter
We'e in Worcester, over by the airport. You know that place on the hill that usually sets all the records for snow fall. This time we're over 18", but under 24". Not bad I guess. Fortunately we have only a small driveway. The neighbor let me borrow her small snowblower.. a big help. Unfortunately my tractors are down in Conn. I'll move the snow in style at the company in the morning. Have been watching the Patriots Dolphins game. They say there was 28" of snow on field to clear.

Re: Nor\'easter
Hi Hazmat,
Same here...some spots bare and others thigh deep drifts. This evening when I went out I noticed the bed of the P/U was full to rails. I guess thats about 20" give or take. I dont like the mix of high winds and snow all that much. Oh well...its not like we get to choose.
Had a chance (the 1st) to use my tractor mounted blower. WOW! I finished a 3.5-4 hr job in an hr. It didnt bog down even in the deepest drifts. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif It also moves the snow well into the yard which is good.

I was in Akron Ohio Friday morning.
It was snowing and blowing like they should get 1 to 2 feet. They got some snow but it turned to rain and which melted most of it.
As I drove West and North past your county all it did was rain. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Got close to home and found dry roads. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Re: Nor\'easter

My backhoe is up in NH. Cleared my building with the snowblower and shovels. I have room for four vehicles in my yard. Two of my tenants park on the street. The past three years i would have them move their vehicles and I would clear a length of roadway that would accomodate five vehicles. Neighbors from twenty houses down would come up and park. Without the backhoe, the neighbors are all confused. When I get the backhoe back down to Worcester I'm going to cut out an additional three parking spaces off my driveway so that all my tenants can park off road. Six hours of shovelling and snow blowing. Ready for a hot bath.
