Title: Snowpocalypse
Post by: Monsterlover on December 26, 2017, 07:26:07 PM
http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/26/us/erie-pennsylvania-snow-storm/index.html

I have hardly any snow in Meadville, 40 miles south of Erie.

However, my shop in Girard is 15 miles west of Erie and has been just pounded with snow. 60"+ in the last two days with another 12-24" possible by this time tomorrow night.

Many businesses are shut down because people are unable to leave their neighborhoods to go to work. I was down two guys today and a third left early just in case.  

I've lived here most all my life so I'm used to snow. I haven't ever seen it dump like this before.



Looking at the man door we use to get into our building

I don't disagree. Both boats, and motorcycles are much better buys, and even those are limited in season.

Hahaha..... I work with some guys who start talking about their sleds in August. Every two years, someone needs a brand new one. Skidoo vs. Artic Cat vs. whatever..... Worse than the chevy vs. ford thing..

Seems like they only get up north to ride once or twice a year.

All bets are off until Lake Erie is frozen over. I’m northeast of Youngstown and we only got a few inches. Our plow crews are all hands on deck up in Ashtabula county since they keep getting pounded with lake effect.

Stay safe up there...hopefully you have a snowblower.

I spent the day in the snow zone helping my parents remodel the kitchen.

Fun can't be had in temps like this.

-27F is the coldest I've ever seen here but I think that's a rare thing. Single digits is normally as cold as it goes.

Trap sounds fun. Never got my hands on a shot gun before.

Not that much snow, but hasn't cracked 0 here in a week.

Structure fire last Friday with -9 or so, and another this morning at a miserable -15.

You would think shit would just GO OUT at those temps???

When I first moved here we'd have temps in the -20's frequently in February.

It hasn't happened in years. This is the coldest December I can remember.

We've had brutal cold for a couple of weeks, but hardly enough snow to cover the ground.

Weird year. Then again, snow has been scarce here for several winters, glad I sold my sled back when I did (although I miss it).

So a couple days ago it was 55° and raining. All that snow disappeared.

My town is flooded with many roads closed. Someone took some drone footage.

I'll have to check to be sure but I think I'm down to only one way to leave town to go to the shop.

My backup answer to that would have been

"My pure, molten, hatred of this weather"

All that anger bottled up like that should at least keep you warm...  Maybe even melt some of that snow.

I got a new to me snowblower this year, and I'm trying to get used to it. It's very different from the tracked one I had. It steers harder. The tracked model was trigger steer. I get the make the beast with two backsits right around the beginning of March. It won't be around long, and if we can drive through it no harm, no foul.

Got warm, and rained all day yesterday.

Cooling off now...guess what...skating time. :P

What is it with human beings and snow?  Used to live in Rochester NY....started snowing 24/7 in mid-October and didn't stop until April. It was unbelievable...but everyone tolerated it because "the summers (2-months long) are great"...Used to live in Mobile, AL - coldest it ever got in winter was mid-30s at night in December, up to 60 during the day and warmed through Jan and Feb...played a lot of golf, even though the grass was 'brown'.

Point is - I never realized the physiological toll the cold winter takes on a person's body -- not spending a few winters in the 'deep freeze' while living in AL were very revealing.  Screw all the macho talk....I'll be heading south as soon as I can retire....maybe even sooner

I used to feel the same way and never would have planned it, but after living there found that I (a NYC native) actually enjoyed the Redneck Riviera and Cajun hospitality...no synthetic  "Villages" full of oldsters having planned fun.  Fairport, AL, was one of the nicest tiny-little towns I've ever seen -  a hint of SF on the Gulf of Mexico.

More snow tomorrow here in PA....I'm hearing up to a foot around Tobyhanna  ;D

A strong coastal storm will develop south of New England and
move into the Gulf of Maine Wednesday evening into Thursday.
Snow is expected to spread north across the region during the
afternoon and evening Wednesday. There is some potential for the
snow to mix with rain at the coast as precipitation begins on
Wednesday. Snow will become heavy Wednesday evening and overnight
with dangerous travel conditions expected. The storm will weaken
and drift west Thursday, but snowfall may linger, especially in
the mountains, until Friday. There is high confidence that a large
portion of the forecast area will see 10 or more inches of
snowfall, with the highest totals near 20 inches.

We always get snow in March...no biggie.

Like he says, it won't be around long. It just adds to the amount of mud, and is always unwelcome at the end of winter.

It will help out the ski areas for a while...depending on how warm it gets.

Our ski areas had to shut down two weeks ago since it was in the 70s for several days.  We're back to freezing temps and light snow this week.  Back to 50s & 60s next week.  Spring in the mountains...  Can't even rule out a heavy April snow either.

A foot of heavy wet stuff. Took down a lot of trees, branches and power lines. Power went out Wednesday night, we got it back this morning.

Low 50's in the house. Brrr.

We're looking at a foot max.

I've seen forecasts for the coast that are looking like 2 feet.

That's a lot of snow to manage, even if you're used to snow.

The best part is that it was 47 degrees all day! So the last layer of snow is nice and mushy, and the dirt driveway is WAY soft.... [thumbsdown]

Snowed last night...about an inch.

Just a little more liquid, when it melts, to add to the mud. [thumbsup]

My driveway is paved but we also park on the other side of the house.
Before I put stone down there, I've gotten stuck  :P

My driveway is dirt,  and flat. The the snow will turn it to mud as soon as it melts.

The only positive is that the ground is thawed, so should drain & dry quickly...

Our road is dirt. The plows killed it this year. I need to buy some sort of tractor attachment and level it out.

More snow today.

It can stop anytime.
