Re: Beaner's and Rattie's Weather Porn Thread
I grossly misjudged how much snow we got overnight. It's well over a foot, closer to 2 feet and it's still coming down. On top of that the snowblower won't start. And it's fucking cold. I'll have to shovel more later, glad I didn't wait for it to stop.
Hope you have better luck Doc.

Re: Beaner's and Rattie's Weather Porn Thread
Just got in from clearing snow. The Boss did decide to go run some errands (yay! Brandy!) which meant the driveway was open, so it was best that I start shovelling and snowblowing with the car gone. Took an hour, but it's done. I'd say 1–2 feet. I'll have to do a tidying round tomorrow once the snow is done coming down, but this cleared the biggest load of it.

I still have the snowplow to contend with. This will leave a 4x4x12 patch of hard packed snow at the end of the driveway.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Jan 2019, 2:55pmJust got in from clearing snow.

Fucking lame. It was an inch of slush. I'm not even bothering to clear off my car because the defroster alone is probably enough to punch through this.

Re: Beaner's and Rattie's Weather Porn Thread
Right after I finished, a sidewalk plow came through and dumped a bunch of crap all over the driveway, so I had to go back and redo it. I really can't complain because this is the first time this winter we've had this kind of dump.revbob wrote: ↑20 Jan 2019, 3:17pmI still have the snowplow to contend with.

I think we got about a foot over the weekend. Thank god we have a plow service do our driveway (we’re pretty far back on the lot; I’d probably die otherwise)

Look at the fuckin rich swell over here!
(I kinda miss renting that condo and having someone else clear the snow.)

Re: Beaner's and Rattie's Weather Porn Thread
-36C wind chill out there. I had to clear snow from the driveway approach that the grader left behind. 6 or 7 mins was more than enough for me. I used to be fine with this kind of weather—didn't like it, but it never dissuaded me from going where I want—but I'm fully into hibernation now. I'm thinking about retiring to become Wally's houseboy.

This is the one chore I'm just not willing to do (nor is VH). Mow the lawn? Fine. Landscape stuff? Fine. But I'm happy to pay the little shit across the street $25 to shovel our driveway out in the cold.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Jan 2019, 2:55pmJust got in from clearing snow.
