A very unproductive weekend

February 27, 2006, 08:56:04 AM

I didn't get anything done this pass weekend. I checked the forecast Friday and it was asking for 20-30cm of snow with high winds. I decided to get as much stuff, that was outside, into the garage for the storm. So how much can you fit into a 28x32 garage; try 4 cars, a snowmobile, snowmobile trailer, snowblower, lawnmower, desk, a wheelbarrow, and a pallet of firewood.

It snowed all day Saturday. Couldn't do anything in the garage - I didn't have room to move around - and it was too bad to go out.

We ended up with 73cm - over 2' of snow that was whipped around with hurrican force winds.

When Sunday came the snow was finally stopped. I decided I would go out and shovel the garage door out so I could get a couple cars out of the garage.

Supposed to be like 70 degrees F here today!

But in a week or so, we'll be back to normal here.
Hard to believe what some wind'll do with an inch or so of snow...

dayum, LOL
yep, didn't see that was an ', and not a "
Usually about the only nasty we get here is ice and freezing rain, I'd much rather have a coupla feet of snow any day, instead of that....stuff.
But...in the summer, it's usually hot as the hinges of Hell here, and humid too.
(Now that I've used some "h" words...)

Nice drifts.

It was -21 (-6F) with the windchill yesterday, and today it's going up to 1 (34F). Alterba is fubar'd. At least we're finally seeing some snow. We've usually had the amount of snowfall we've seen so far by mid November. The farmers aren't going to be happy this year. Expect another 'Hay-West' venture.

Here in Tucson, Arizona the lowest daytime Temp all "winter" has been 58 Degrees F. Hell, I think we've only had 11-12 below freezing nights. It's been in the low to mid 70's pretty much all winter long.

Of course, around these parts, we only have two seasons. Fall and Summer. The latter lasting a majority of the year. Once march rolls around, temps will spike into the ninties again.

Man thundergrowl do you have snow tires for your wheel chair? Most of us would hate to shovel that driveway and your doing it? Props man!

Thanks Claude!

Actually, I went and had a look, shoveled a little, and then said f-it and called the plow.

I shoveled about 4 ft in front of one of the garage doors and gave up. One time I would have tackled it but now I find that my shoulders hurt after shoveling - getting close to 40 yrs old and I can't do what I use to do. It's not worth it anymore to me. I'd rather give someone $20 to plow it for me.
