Spoke to soon, I did

[turd]

Our weather person said less than an inch. Just got in from clearing about 3-4" of snow off the sidewalks and drive. Horry chit, what a job! We have also about a 25 mph wind from the north northwest, and my garage faces north, of course. Couldn't find a way to blow snow that didn't get it right back in my face. Can you say frozen eyebrows? Not too much fun, but lots of exercise.

Sure is pretty, though.

This is why I don't live up north. I'm too old for snow.

I hate that!!!! it blows back fine and really cold.

I the North East the snow is usually wet and heavy. So it doesn’t blow back at you very often. It is hard on equipment and backs.

I still wear an old "cowboy hat" (that's what the neighbors call it) when I use my snowblower. When the wind shifts and blows it all towards me, I just tilt my head into the wind and let the hat do what it was intended for.... works great; I just keep the machine going and don't miss a beat.

Let's see what we have to say in August

What I hate is a wet drifting snow followed by a cold snap that freezes those drifts into concrete. No pushing, no blowing, just chisel off a chunk and lift it out of the way.
So far my local area hasn't had much snow and what we did have was loose and fluffy and melted within a couple days.
It's certainly different than past years. When we were both working, I mounted the 9' dozer blade on one of the big John Deere tractor about Thanksgiving and dismounted about Easter. At times that was barely enough to reach the paved road and the drifting wasn't a once a year event--sometimes multiple times per day.

That is "Murphy's Law" of snowblowing, "No matter which way your direct the discharge it always comes back to hit you in the face."

I have a Kubota BX tractor with a 50" snowblower. I wear a full-face shield snowmobile helmet when I snowblow.

It hit 110 here last summer.
And it wasn’t a dry heat.

I saw your pic and thought "that looks like an in town Texas back yard ". You need some 41% gly on that crabgrass before a scalp. It's also time to put pre-emergent down. Headed outside to spread my Stonewall right now. I don't have the birdbath and my crepe myrtle is just out of view to the right in my pic. I have the same rain gauge too but it's out of view to the left in my garden (onions are all I have planted right now).

We have been getting our butts kicked in Elk bend Idaho, it's a small community on the Salmon river about 18 miles south of Salmon if you are not familiar with where it is.
