Weekend Storm?

My blower has 14.5 lbs of torque...second largest engines they make, the snow flies about 35-40 feet when the snow is dry...

I still miss the HP rating!

My blower is a Poulin which I am sure is another MTD. It is good size and steers around easily. All I have to do is walk behind it and use the correct controls. I had an Ariens for over 30 yr. that was 8 hp, got to be too small and too hard to handle as I got much older. I wouln't mind having another one, but I got this new machine for just a hundred more than what I paid for the Ariens 30 yrs. ago! (There were no box stores back then in this area)

The Omega Block.

Other than it being a bit chilly out here, nothing much else. -5* this morning, has warmed up to 5* now. Supposed to be 37* tomorrow... sure...

This doesn't look good.

Well, after getting 63CM we are getting this "Snowfall amounts could exceed 50 cm in the Gaspé, Percé and Murdochville areas. Meanwhile, visibilities will be reduced to zero in blowing snow and heavy snow in these regions. Easterly winds will intensify today and reach 90 km/h beginning tonight in communities along the St Lawrence River, between Rimouski and Montmagny, and over Chaleur Bay."

Over 110 CM of snow in 5 days. Pray for me.

We got blasted unexpectedly this morning. About 10" fell in 3 hours. 40 MPH winds. Nothing out of the ordinary for this region but the forecasters didn't see it coming.
Visibility was zero much of the morning and school was cancelled. School never gets cancelled here!

School was canceled on Monday and it will be canceled tomorrow here.

BeGreen: I may have to be good at tunnelling...they just changed the forecast...and not for the better! "Accumulations could also reach upwards of 60 centimetres in the Gaspé area. In addition, visibilities will be reduced to zero in blowing snow and heavy snow in these regions. East winds will reach up to 90 km/h beginning tonight over locales along the St Lawrence River between Matane and Montmagny as well as in Chaleur Bay" 60CM If we get that, we will have received 120CM of snow in 5 days. That is 47 inches for you guys down south. Incredible.

That's a lot of snow. Reminds me of years past, except hard to recall getting that much in such a short time. Look at it this way, you will survive it better than a lot of other places would. Those who take it as it comes do so much better than those who panic and then don't know enough to stay off the roads.

I am not tooo worried. Snow melts. Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes tend to do more damage :D Bring on the snow!

Wish that would hit here in the mid-Atlantic! DAMMIT I WANT A BIG SNOWSTORM.......

BB: I think it has been an abnormally cold winter just about everywhere. Luckily I still have about 1.5 cords of wood which is plenty to get me through the winter especially now that the sun is warming us up in the afternoons. But for a while I was getting concerned: feeding a 3.1 cubic foot stove non stop eats wood fairly fast!

Scott: YOu can have this one if you want..

I just got back from a workout. At 6 PM the snow just started to fall. At 9 PM (when I got in 10 minutes ago) there had already been 5-6 inches that has fallen and the East wind is blowing to 30 Mph. Luckily I have thick woods just east of my house. it should provide some shelter so that I don't blow snow for 10 hours. LOL. I am thinking about going out tonight, say in 2 hours, to clean my driveway. It would be a relief for tomorrow..sorta

Another blanket of snow for the rest of the continent, but none for us.

I'm in next year's wood too.

It might be freezing rain in your area.

WOw. We are getting hammered still. Between 6 PM last night and 1 AM we received 12 inches of snow. And another4-6 has fallen and they are forecasting another 6-8 inches. I will take pictures in a little bit: I am going out to tackle some snow drifts before they get too big.

And another storm is brewing in the mid west US and headed our way. Thanks for snow guys! :D

Be careful out there, Chef......don't overdue it!
Hey, were supposed to get one to three inches of ice and sleet tomorrow into Saturday.......I'll trade you that crap for a foot of snow anyday!

No thanks Scotty. I would rather have 4 feet of snow than 1 inch of freezing rain/rain/slush. It's not winter when that happens!
I just cleaned out some of the yard. Pictures to come!

Andrew

You're another jinx, I just heard over the radio we have some sleet and rain for Saturday, time to plow the driveway so we can skate on it!

they're afraid to predict what we'll get this weekend...as if we would blame the forcasters for the weather (i guess some might).

That mess is coming to us Saturday night. Supposed to be in the low 40s and up to a foot of heavy wet snow.

UGH

I am done with this. Don't even feel like firing up the stove anymore, just want spring to come.

We might have another storm coming for next week, springs just around the corner.
