cny first gen 71 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yea they say we're getting that dusting of 6 to 8 inches too. Most people call thst a snow storm to us here in the snow belt it's a dusting but I still don't like it. The sunny south is looking better every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Only problem is the 'sunny south' tends to get hurricanes. I wouldn't be fond of that situation either. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 And it’s stupid hot and humid in the winter. And the bugs. They have a lot of snakes down south too. I have a problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Our weather report yesterday morning was we were going to first get 1/4 inch of freezing rain followed by an inch or two of snow. This morning that weather forecast has changed to 4-7 inches of snot snow following the freezing rain. I am waiting to see the evening news to see how much it has changed, just since this morning. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 1/4 mile total driveway that’s including the neighbors. I think I’ll take the Monte out and see if I get get up the hill. Lol. Not. Our driveway sucks, rutted up nasty asphalt.

Dtret Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 2 inches of rain( in two days) followed by at least two inches of sleet. And now so far 1 1/2 of snow. I plowed yesterday afternoon a little before the change from sleet to snow. 450 pounds of rock salt and it didn’t touch it. Now I’m off to get more salt( I have 350 pounds left). Temperature is going to negative two tonight. This sucks living in the middle, we get it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I worked all night, moved snow for the last 2.5 hours (about 10-12 inches since yesterday), tried to sleep and that isn't happening... it's about 14 degrees out, perfect!

Dtret Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 That’s just wrong. I’ll bet your head is cold. lol 😂. I’m thinking a gazebo type apparatus is in the thought process, with sides that roll down and a couple of tall propane type heaters and a tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Lol, nah. It's nice to see the stars at night. I usually wear a hard hat liner when it's cold out, keeps the empty cavern warm 😄 No doubt that snow will fall on me when I'm under it.

willie Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks good Joe!!!!  If you put 3hrs in snow moving, does that mean you have to spend 6hrs in the hot tub??  I think that's a great option. lol You can feed and let the little ones out later.  lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yea we got about 8 to 10 or so, I did my driveway in about 1/2 hour. My girlfriends plow guy didn't show up until 10 she's supposed to leave for work at 6:30 so she couldn't get out she for a foot or so. My daughter and son in law got a snow day and grand kids are off anyhow. Don't think I'm going out anywhere but it dont look to bad out there now. Stay safe all!

cny first gen 71 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ended up doing my driveway twice so not to bad, ended up with about 10 to 12 inches. The sun is out this morning and still snowing a little but won't amount to much. Guess we weathered the storm just fine here anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Snow should be gone by tomorrow (60 degrees) 2 inches of rain coming Thursday to get rid of the salt. I think I see a test drive coming for the Monte. Probably just to the glass shop though. Lol. Spring is coming. Woo Hoo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Just make sure all the salt is gone, you spend to much time on that to harm the perfection you've created! There's plenty of time to drive it don't worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
