We do but they still get on. In RI NexGuard worked but in Amherst we found them everywhere in the house and on us. They would ride him in the house then come off. The old behind the neck Frontline is about all that work. We don't find them on him or in the house but we will see them crawling on him when they first get on.

I've been using the seresto collar on my dog the last two years and shes had zero ticks, worth the $60.

I was just thinking about when his would be out today.

I'll read it after I do mine.

That's similar to what your thinking, isn't it Ray?

Pretty pretty please. I have very fond memories of that winter...specifically of never having a full week of school from November to March and of jumping off my roof into a drift after January '96.

I fell off my roof, snow was so deep it was like landing on a pile of cotton.

Hey dudes, 2 surgeries, couple of basically paralyzed days . Home with a walker and screens running iPad tv phone, baseball, weather, movies. Appears things are pretty bad and my skiing. And doing  extremes life is over.. can’t risk paralysis, that **** was scary. Day by day. I have had tons of research time . Holy 02/03 analog. I will finish out my life as a voice for those who can not speak. By the way Backus Hospital sucks, staff is awesome they just are overwhelmed

I'm in the same boat, injury ended my skiing days. Hope your feeling better.

Variety of tree?  I’ve seen this grow from a seed to what it is now which is around 20’ tall.  Not bad over 14 years time.

Looks like pin cherry, grows fast, terrible wood for burning.

Eyewall did change our fortunes.

Maybe if he starts this thread Dec 1 2018, we'll have a full 4 months of winter.

DotB can verify, you guys were under a crazy band that dropped a lot of snow, he was weenieing out too,

If they were under that death band, they'd understand, it was crazy whiteout conditions.

 Just make sure you replace it with the real thing ASAP otherwise you are risking your gearbox. 

My brother has some spares, I'll use one of those tomorrow and finish up.

Picked up 2” of fluff since about 6:45

Kevin, did the heavy band miss Tolland?, looked like you were right on the edge.

snow picking up again, what a crazy storm, if you got the band over you it was a great storm, if not I guess it sucked. I should end up at 20" with this remaining stuff.

Well did you ask? We all learn MacGyver lessons. Sh  it I had to MacGyver a softball size hole in my roof during the hurricane March 2nd. Aluminum foil plastic and a rubber placemat with 50 mph winds and branches falling all around me. Power company just reset the neighbors down hill, a tree fell and tripped the breaker at the top of the pole.

I just watched a video on replacing the shear pin on my model and the guy used the bolt you just told me to use lol, live and learn. I'll do one tomorrow so I can makes paths for my dog, she was struggling to get around in the snow.

Just now, Ginx snewx said:

Dude a 3 inch 1/4" bolt and nut will work in a pinch

Now you tell me, first time I ever had one break so never had to replace one, but now I have nicely sculpted snow banks that rival Kevins.

That's some pretty awesome stuff you guys are reporting/photographing.  Half those rates/totals would be a dream storm here in Iowa.  Around here, >foot totals are next to impossible and even ten inch storms are rare.  Four inches counts as a good storm.  OceanStWx used to work here at DVN, so he knows how pathetic this area can be.

That's the benefit of living near and ocean

shear pin broke on my blower and don't have a spare, had to shovel the whole driveway and walk by hand, back is already feeling it.

Almost whiteout conditions right now, with virtually no wind.  Just an insane amount of snow falling from the sky. 

Where are you dot?

Glad you guys got in on the death band, I was right on the edge of it, got super lucky, 18" and that last think band is over me, maybe I can hit 20.

I got 17", still snowing hard but the band appears to be moving east. Good for you guys that haven't been in the band.
