Jebman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm IMPRESSED, CT Blizz. Those snow banks are a decent start. You and I would take snowbanks in New England to an entirely new level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The wet snow just falls on top in clumps when I toss it up there"carefully" yeah ok that makes sense then with the wet snow and all.....i thought it looked a bit different and clumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 A couple pics from the other day at Topnotch Resort and Spa on the Mountain Road here in Stowe (950ft elevation)... my folks were visiting so I took some shots around the condo in town. Measured 30" of depth on Sunday... it took us a little while to get here but solid snow cover since December 5th has finally added up to be a nice snow pack. Of course, the 22" that fell in town over the past week didn't hurt, and now with over 2" of liquid added to the snowpack in the last week, it isn't all fluff and actually has some heft to it. No view out of that window... Deck railing... SUV that sat all week showing the "net gain" of three storms totaling 22" over the past 7 days.

Ice Warrior commander Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 How come there's no bending to your body in that picture? Ahhhhhhh, This is because Deb needs to learn how to balance in the snow. Also, note the slight slant stick which i said was blasphemy in measuring. The snow was getting deeper where I was. The average was 29" on the brief milder day. She is in lower elevation. My average was 33" on my hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Warrior commander Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 You should be proud of those piles! It will be a long while before melting. Also, I see the icicles and snow on the roof. Nice touch there. My piles are almost to that level.. but about 4 inches lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 i think he just has a ****load of snow obviously he takes care of his banks to the highest level......but what else is he supposed to do? theres a lot of snow. i used to pile it up high when i shoveled myself....im sure most people do. i'm just wondering what else people do when shoveling a driveway? do they throw it farther away so it scatters but stays lower? that seems like more work with the throwing motion. I throw the snow over the pile so it slides down the backside instead of back into the driveway. They know me around here...if I did what Kevin does I'd never hear the end of it.

The snow often falls back down the front of the bank and into the driveway as i'm shovelling.. thus creating more work for me..but all very worth it. They all know me in my area too..Who cares what people say? it's fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all know me in my area too..Who cares what people say? it's fun i know what you mean at some point you reach critical height where it becomes very difficult to throw the snow 'over' the bank.....essentiually you are just trying to get it on top without sliding down i front, because its so high. that happened in 07-08 for me, and since then i hired a plow guy to clear the driveway......of course it hasnt really snowed properly since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Warrior commander Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nice!! were these before or after the GTG in ORH? before or after the bruins game with Ray? Thanks!! I have more..

Never mind that she's dragging her mink coat through the snow. lol - i guess thats why she had me sit on the other side of the couch the next day. Yeah, she does look miserable. She hates the snow. I raked the edges of her roof, so that was payback.. have her measure snowdepth, and teach her the Correct way. However, she said NO more. I have a funny 12 second Vid of her ( that she forbid me to post anywhere) she got stuck in the deeper snow area's ( mink coat and all). I'll post it.

Fozz Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Funny how that works...lol. But 34" is twice that of 17"...so not surprising that 17" looks pathetic now next to it. Those are some very impressive pictures, not just yours but the others as well. Around this time last year I had the same amount of snow on the ground as what you have now, and in the midst of that, I felt that 12" seemed mediocre.

It was on the Oxford/Charlton line one week after the GTG. The snow depth was down off the 34" high.. to 29" at her place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
