snow on the way

[Bob Denman]

We have a pool going here in the office:
The Missus says 10"
I'm saying 16"
My Uncle Jack is sticking with 22"

The rules
We'll have two separate measurements taken:
One his house
One at our office
the measurement must be taken in a place that isn't to be significantly affected by the wind.
The time of the storm's snowfall is to only include snow accumulation from between midnight tonight, and 8:00am on Wednesday morning.
An average of the snowfall from the two measurements will be computed, and the one of us that it closest will win the pool of money

In this case: it's only 75 cents! :roflblack:

I think your gonna win.

Let's hope your uncle Jack is wrong.

:shocked: I hope not!
The taxes on my winnings would be just awful! :roflblack:

Let us know how the new snow thrower works Bob. Some pictures would be nice. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

I am going to sit back for now, watch the sun, enjoy the drips coming off the roof, and watching the snow go down by about an inch a day. Maybe, we will get lucky and be done with it. :dontknow::dontknow:

You can pay the misses to clear the driveway. :roflblack:

I even offered to run the old one, to help her out...
She threatened to turn the discharge chute on me! :yikes:

I like to use Intellicast; they're a bit more accurate than the NOAA websit.

I use Intellicast also, My brother in law the pilot got me on it and I figured if it's good enough for pilots it's good enough for me.

Bob, just to goad you a little more! It was 64 here today, sun shining, and snow is almost gone from the 8' high snow piles we had. And we're more north than you! :roflblack: I'll need to bring out the mower in a couple of weeks! :gaah:

 

[mowin]

4" so far. Light to moderate snowfall as of now.

Bob, I think my prediction that your going to win, might be slightly off. :shocked:

 

[Bob Denman]

At 8:30 this morning, we had 8" of snow on the ground, and the snowfall rate was at almost two inches per hour... :gaah:


So we're busy clearing this white crap away from the house and Office

 

[Bob Denman]

10:30 am report: Eleven inches of snow down, and we're starting to get a pretty strong wind from the South...

But that new snowblower sure knows how to move this stuff! :thumbup: There's a bit of a learning curve with it due to all of the new features, but the Missus is happy!

(Pictures to follow...)

 

[Bob Denman]

12:00, and the :cus: is starting to get serious! nojoke
We're at seventeen inches on the ground, and we're getting some sleet mixed in, just ot make the conditions even more fun! :shocked:
Oh!

These pictures were taken while it was only running at half-throttle, and she was chopping her way through about 10" of snow...

 

[vided]

Nice machine. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
But doesn't the hood take away the joys of blowback :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

The first time that she ever ran one of these machines: the importance of that cab was made entirely clear to her...the HARD way!! :roflblack:

A bit West of us: we've had reports of the snow already being over 26" deep...

 

[Bob Denman]

I have plowed twice since 8am and am having trouble keeping up with it!! My ATV will push alot of snow, but I still need to try and keep up so I can push it back far enough. Feels like the end of the world is here. No spyder rides in the near future, thats for sure. Hopefully Cuomo will close the roads so I dont have to work tonight. Hate to use a vacation day for this.

What kind of ATV and plow combination are you using?
I had a Grizzly 660, with a five-foot plow on it: it was a LOT of work, and you really had to keep up with the weather, or you'd be in trouble! :shocked:

Bob

I feel for you guys. We lucked out, only got a dusting and it's already melted. :thumbup:

Bob

It's better for them to run at full RPM. Less likely to plug and easier on the engine. :thumbup:
