Gives you a good excuse to sit down at your rolling table though.

Took about 2 hours behind the snow blower to get the drive and street cleared. It's supposed to snow for another 5 or 6 hours, so another 3-5 inches and then another hour or 2 behind the snow blower. I think I will have a snack and then a nap.

Do me a favor, will ya Pete? Run that snow blower over to Spirit Lake and clear the drive at Polaris' Indian factory, so they can get my freakin Scout out the door some day in this life time.

That is about a 4.5 hour trip in good weather, might take 12 hours today assuming the roads are still open. I feel your pain on waiting for your new toy. It was that way when I got my Harley. I had to wait for about 3 weeks after purchase before I got a nice enough day to pick it up and ride it home.

Three weeks? Child's play. I ordered this one early in September.

Looks like it's done for the most part.

yep, we are getting your leftovers...shoveled twice now (10 inches plus already),probably wait a few hours and do it again. Now its starting to drift too

 

[JOE1977]

Feelin the pain as well. This is a shot of my garden space I hope to grow baccy in. I have no idea how much snow we got because it's been blowin 30mph for the past 8 hours. It's been drifting like ocean waves here.

 

[DIY Pete]

I hear ya. The wind is just starting to really get going here. Most likely I will have driftasaurus to move out of the driveway in the morning but there are worse things in life.

It sure is pain in the ass to shovel but I love how pretty it is after a good snow.

Agreed, unfortunately I have about 20 years to go. My parents retired down to Sun City, AZ full time a couple of years ago and it sure is nice to go visit in the middle of winter. Once my son gets through college I am going to look for work in Flagstaff so I can be close to my folks as they get older and to take advantage of their house in the valley.

...in Flagstaff...

Flagstaff is a truly beautiful place, summer or winter, but they average 100 inches of snow annually.

True they get a lot of snow but warm and sunny is only a couple hours away in Phoenix and I like that a lot. Living in the valley is not an option.

Want to see snow, look at the mountains...valley for me 121 here I come

One of my Dads stated retirement goals was to :Never see snow again. So he spends the winters in the Valley playing golf with his friends and travels around the midwest all summer in the RV with Mom.
Sounds like the good life to me.

How are you doing there Iowa ? It beat a record here yesterday, over 2'.

 

[DIY Pete]

No snow problems but mighty cold. -5F this morning, it made for a cold walk to work. I would rather have cold than a ton of snow any day. I feel sorry for all the folks in the northeast, around 100 inches of snow in the last 4 weeks! That's just crazy.

it's below 0 and the snow,sleet, freezing rain and rain are suposed to be here for the weekend. it is suposed to get into the thirties one day for the rain then freezing again. how many roofs will come down if the snow on top of the buildings gets waterlogged? a lot of roofs already colapsed.
