Yardstickgozinya Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 1 hour ago, Blizzard of 93 said: Hey guys, I had a rough day yesterday with snow removal. My snow blower broke right when I tried to fire it up. The pull cord gave way & snapped off. Then, I tried several times to use the electric start, but had no luck. My neighbors came to my rescue. My next door neighbor let me borrow his & then my good pal across the street came over with his snow blower to help me as well. It would have been a nightmare to hand shovel my lengthy sidewalk & dig out 3 vehicles that were plowed in on the street. Despite the wonderful help, it still took over 4 hours to remove the foot of snow & sleet. The snow piles on the street from digging out are massive. If we get more snow this weekend, it’s going to be a real challenge. I thought about rooting against this weekend’s chance, but who the heck am I kidding…?! Lets’s try to reel this next one in! It's really easy to rewind that @Blizzard of 93 .There's usually only a couple screws to get to pulley and you just gotta make sure your recoil spring doesn't pop out. Generally on newer equipment it's in caseed or attached to the pulley already. Winding back up tying a few knots, putting it all back together is pretty self explanatory. You also want to make sure you use starter rope and not just any old nylon rope. If you're in a pinch and don't have time before another storm., I would definitely pick up the starter rope and do it for you at no cost , but it's really easy even if you never done it before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardstickgozinya Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I realized the word easy is subjective, but i'm pretty confident that it is. As a landscaper, I break my pulll starters several times a year, I can pull out a pulley, rewrap it, and put it back in with my eyes closed. https://youtu.be/DA5V1CdQ2hQ?si=rnWabasXm4In2ysp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardstickgozinya Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Even if your blower is not a brigs and stratton, it's probably going to be similar to the video above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG difference from 18z Gonna try to stay up for GFS to see if its the lead dog or not. I may be rather tired by this weekend, but man this is fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago and looking at 18z gfs 500s at same timeframe, extremely close in presentation. me likey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccuChris Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago It is not exact, but it has some similarities to the “surprise” January 24-25, 2000 coastal. The H84 NAM 500mb map is closely similar to the 12z Jan 24 2000 500mb re-analysis. That storm dumped heavy snow in the Carolinas and Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and I remember eastern PA got between 8-14”. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Icon still doin its own thingy at 84. 500's similar, but surface notsomuch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago GFS west - not much in PA but it’s west of 18z RGEM was west so we can assume the CMC will be. Nam was primed to be way west If the Euro moves west we’re getting a wind storm with a few inches of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Busted high this morning with 11 at the house and 7 through the rurals. The next three nights look like the peak. Amtrak canceled its first train this morning. Streets are a mess here in Mount Joy. Love the chaos. Let’s bring on some more this weekend (I have not checked any modeling recently).

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 47 minutes ago Share Posted 47 minutes ago The river by MDT is completely indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain. Just pure frozen tundra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 47 minutes ago Share Posted 47 minutes ago I could only find one Chester County station that fell to below zero this morning and that was our usual cold spot up in Warwick Township with a low of 2.6 below zero. Almost all spot saw lows in the single digits above zero. If anything, we get progressively colder the rest of this week with highs through Saturday several degrees lower than yesterday. Highs will be in the mid to upper teens with lows near zero to below. The potential weekend storm still looks like it will miss our area to the east toward the NJ shore but will need to be watched for any potential changes.
