    bottomed out at 25 even, poor chickens, forgot to plug in the water heater, so they were pecking at ice..

    would be nice to have a good late fall early winter storm this year, we are so over due for a big winter, at least in SNE, I'll take some Currier and Ives in mid November though regardless, set the mood for the holidays

    was just about to ask everyone's opinion, it's been a sig for a few runs now, if anything it looks to be pretty cold, possibly a few inches elevation depending?

    pretty pedestrian event when the line came, a few gusts and heavy rain but now just constant rumbling of distant thunder, usually comes before the rain but now it's after, odd, also sirens here in Winsted for over an hour, something happened before the rain not sure what yet

    bout a half inch on deck, cars and grass areas... started to accumulate on the driveway and side of the road but it stopped and sun came out now we drip until tonight, however, the hills around me, about 1200+', have the trees caked, very picturesque.

    seriously, I have never liked or understood it, other than to disrupt people's circadian rhythm

    birds chirping, nice balmy 18 with light breeze...i seriously thought, hey it ain't too bad this morning, it's 18... imagine what 40s are going to feel like..

    that was also the last winter I recall having so much ice that just wouldn't melt because of the sustained basically climo cold and no torches, I lived in Waterbury then and we had a similar snow to ice storm, don't remember what date, but the driveway and walks were completely hit that winter
  15. tavwtby
    that's pretty much what I'm at too...31.6, so I'll take 8.5 to get to about half of climo at this point.

    I think that's about what I need to get to 40, I have to check, but not a storm over 5" all season, what I'd give for a big dog and straight to warm... preaching to the choir I know

    if I had a buck for every week plus model storm that hasn't been in the last few years I'd be a little richer... I had a feeling this winter was going to be bad, but it ain't the bad that most of us like, at least it's felt like winter, and we still have something on the ground, for over a month now, that's impressive considering last few years

    This is something, was just talking to a couple of Winsted folk, and the town (and most others in CT) are out of salt, the state has been delivering to them limited amounts. No ice melt to be found anywhere for a few days anyway, and our driveway is still locked in ice, even direct sunlight areas... I love winter and weather it brings, but I'm about done at this point, never thought I'd say that in Feb... guess I'm getting old.

    man it's a different kind of cold out there, not sure if it's the insane amount of ice, wind, but temps ain't crazy cold, just feels worse. my driveway is literally a skating rink of about 2" solid in shaded areas, I was out for hours chopping yesterday, coop door is hit, frost heaves damn near moved the whole thing. hoping for something substantial, but this ice gots to go first...we leave 3/1 for Tampa spring training, and watch, that'll be when it happens.

    yeah I hear ya, the ariens also has a stick, only for the vertical shoot, what I don't like is to rotate the shoot, I have reach around and crank a handle, used to just have a linkage on the main controls I would rotate, that didn't need fixing, but I do enjoy the 0 radius turning, makes quick work on the driveway, a broken walk is tough though.
  21. tavwtby
    how long do the batteries last, cleaning dense stuff? we just got a new ariens a couple years ago and went 28" 360cc, that thing blows the densest snow like 25', only thing I don't like is they switched the gears to opposite of the old one, so took a while to get used to that, overall nice machine, we debated getting an ego
  22. tavwtby
    yeah I'm about the same age, was thinking maybe 93-94 in terms of temp, it was cold that season but not much snow, that I remember anyway.

    picked up another at least .75" sometime after I went to bed, roads, driveway, walk are an absolute sheet of ice, driveway looks like about a half inch of straight ice, told wife to just stay home today, and I ain't going anywhere... let the sun cook
