SnowPlowGuy88

Picked up 1.1” of rain with this round. Had some good lighting and thunder. Spent the storm watching some Ransom Canyon with a german shepherd on my lap and a chocolate lab under the recliner. All clear here as of almost 1800

Anyone looking at the winter predictions for our area? Seems like a consensus on a cold and stormy pattern for our area. Will it be all frozen? Lots of discrepancies in that area, but I am intrigued also, football season, real football, is upon us. Non stop action until the second week of February. Fire up the smokers, stock the beer fridge. Its game time, boys lol

From an outdoor worker, kindly take this forecast and shove it lol

Did a smoked and reverse seared tri tip yesterday. Asparagus and baked potato for the wife and I. Did a homemade chimichurri for the first time and it did not disappoint. Need a finer chop next time. Happy Father’s Day to the dads!

Mow #5 for me and a blade sharpening prior to it. I almost blew up my shed, sent sparks into it with my angle grinder, near to my fuel cans. I stopped and gathered myself, and another beer, and all was successful.

It’s grilling season haha

About 1/4”

Once the race is over, gonna take a walk. A peek out front and the street has caved. 32 degrees in Dillsburg

33 degrees with Mod snow, non paved surfaces caving in Dillsburg. Second time today to see accumulated snow. Had some nice pre dawn snow that coated even the patio with a wet dusting, more on the grassy areas. All that melted away and the un paved areas are caving again.

Chiming in to add to those who had some snizzle/flakes/flurries today. Was sitting at a traffic light during an afternoon errand run and noticed some flakes on the windshield. Should have taken a picture of it, but I even saw a truck owner with mounds of snow left on his bed cover in the Giant parking lot off Winding Hill. I mean, how lazy do you have to be to still have mounds of snow on your vehicle 2.5 weeks after the storm? I even said out loud as I walked by it “what a lazy F***” Seems like the Canadian model is the only one still holding on for all snow for our area. Will be interesting to see what happens as we get closer. Point and click has temps in the high 30s and lows 40s all through the ten day. Hoping its wrong, but its early enough, we can still score.

That is my untrained, snow muddled mind thoughts, as well. Still a lot of time, but I like where we are at. The warmup has backed off some. And who doesn’t like snow on snow? Haha. Let’s bring it home, even if it is the last one for the year. We did the cold better than expected this winter. Time to cash in on it.

Absolutely. GFS is wintry to start and then flips to rain. CMC and Icon are pretty good for our area. Euro can’t seem to make its mind up. Plenty of time for adjustments. I’m rooting for this one to give a nice 3”-6” on top of what’s left after the “thaw” that is this week. Even though highs have been below freezing, that sun angle is doin numbers on my southern exposure. I have liquid runoff almost every day it gets full sun

I can agree with that. Went out this afternoon for a small grocery run. All the roads are plastered with salt residue. Absolutely disgusting looking

Really looking forward to this coming Tuesday-Wednesday. Haven’t fired up the smoker(s) since New Year’s Eve lol. Also, F these winds. Dogs won’t even go out past the patio to do their business. I swear, every year, from about thanksgiving until early March, we do wind better than anyone else in the globe.

Got a 1/4” in pickle town. Nice, steady snow. Sirens in the background

Starting to lay on hard surfaces. Just a dusting, but steady light snow for the last 20 minutes or so.

Had a nice burst of light to almost moderate snow for about 15 minutes. Almost blocked the White Rock Acres “mountain” neighborhood from view at the height of it. Has since shut off to just some mood flakes. Glad to get something out of this cold. The German Shepherd loved it, until he tried to catch a rather larger chunk of somewhat solid snow with his head. He likes to play catch with snow balls. Maybe not so much anymore haha

Get you a cheap angle grinder from harbor freight and that shovel will last you until it gets to the handle lol

Those coal shovels are aluminum. You want a smaller, steel shovel for what you’re trying to do. I guess you could get both. But thats twice the money and twice the work.

Took the long stroll to my local Ace Hardware store. They have plenty of hickory handled, steel flat blades in stock. $14.99

Agreed. Had a new furnace installed at the end of December. Tank was topped off just prior, in early November, at 250 gallons. We are currently just about at the half full mark. Have never used more than 100-125 gallons in a winter until this one. New windows are now on the menu, once the furnace is paid down a bit.

Its one of my favorite childhood memories. That family grocery store is no more. Giant came to town and the owner sold a long held family business. Now its a combination physical therapy office and a Dollar General. (I frequent both) shh, don’t tell. Haha Fairview didn’t Plow my bosses neighborhood until like 11 today. Went by on my way home. Will be first on my list of to dos tomorrow. They did his mailbox and driveway apron dirty. Even after I had cleaned both up with enough space they could angle the plow to not plaster them both. Ugh.

At least you weren’t my parents. Flight cancels from San Juan due to weather. Found a flight to orlando and then philly. Canceled. Luggage lost somewhere in transit. Tank tops, shorts, flip flops. Finally got a flight to Dullis and rented a car to drive back. They did stop at the first Wally World for warmer clothes. They also had my brother house/dog sit with empty fuel cans and a snowblower about half a quart low on oil. Basically empty lol. Big brother to the rescue! I dragged him out to the garage by his nose ring and made him start it for the first time. No way I was taking that heat!

Thanks man! I had a new guy with me Sunday. Was difficult to get any pictures or even get away for coffee. Ultimately, I just said, “ You stay here. I will bring you snow. Put it over there”. And tomorrow is day two of cleaning up. All that said, I couldn’t have gotten better results being solo. And I kinda like teaching the up and coming folks. He’s a good listener, when the earbuds aren’t in, takes criticism well, and owns up to his mistakes. He damaged some stuff, nothing major, all can be fixed in house. On the plus side, I found a hydraulic leak on my truck plow today that has been leaking some time undetected. Reservoir holds 2 quarts. I added 40 oz. Not lol gotta flip or replace a cutting edge on our push box, add some snow stakes since my regular plow buddy is still out due to surgeries and refuel, re grease and re fit for what should and hopefully be a much deserved banger for our area. Bring back summer school!!
