And the snow continues .....
 

Heard this morning that as of January 23rd, the official snowfall in
Boston and surrounding areas had only been 5.5 inches.

Since then over 58 inches have fallen. Getting stupid. This amount of
snow is great for unpopulated ski locations but towns and cities
have run out of places to put the crap.

Going to have another cup of coffee and then go hit the driveway again
for about the 10th time in the past 2-3 weeks. Same problem. No place
to push it. I am really regretting that I got rid of the big snowblower
attachment I had for the tractor at one time but it was a rip roaring
pain in the ass to take off the front end loader in order to put the
snow blower on.

Just tried doing the driveway. Whatever the plow pushes to the side
just rolls back into the driveway as I pass by. If I could do about 80
mph down the driveway it might work but it's going to be tractor time
again later. Ridiculous.

Weymouth, a town about 15 miles north of us towards Boston has had
20 inches of additional snow since 8 pm last night.

Looks like you are getting it this year. Here in Michigan we set a new all time record for snowfall last year. We just did last weekend have a 17 incher so our February total is closing in on 20" for the month.

And the snow continues .....

We were feeling about the same way 11 years ago when we had several
back-to-back bad winters in the NYC area although nothing like what
you are experiencing.

There's some nice horse country not too far from the eagle cam and
there are also some nice spots up there along the river - you might be
able to do horsing and boating from the same house.

That would be perfect. First, have to sell this place. I don't want
a situation like we had before where we had a place (actually two
places) in Florida while still having this house.

It will sell eventually. We are going to take it off the market
temporarily and then put it back on at a lower price sometime in
April-May. It makes no sense to be advertising it right now and having
tire kickers wanting to have showings every weekend. We do have a
couple of potential buyers who are somewhat serious and are researching
financing options and checking codes for additional horses. Good luck
to them.

It's a buyer's market for properties in this price range.

In the late 80's we were talking to a guy in E. Islip, NY. He was visiting
his kids. Stated when he retired he went south until it stopped snowing,
stuck his snow shovel in the ground and went a thousand miles more. :)

Yeah, this is crazy and not typical for this area. We are in a winter
jet stream setup that causes the clippers to generate lows off shore
that blow up and then this area. New record set today and it's still
snowing. Well over 60 inches of snow in the past 17 days.
That's unheard of, even for this area.

Bad news is the trend is going to continue. Another storm is now
forecast for Thursday/Friday and then another on Sunday/Monday.

I've never seen so much snow in such a short period of time.

Appreciate it but so far we are holding our own. I plowed a couple of
times today but finally gave up because there's no longer anywhere for
the snow to go. I drove around on the driveway packing down what snow
remained and at least we can get out and down to the road. I am always
concerned about emergency vehicles being able to get up from the road.

Tomorrow I'll spend most of the day moving some piles back about
6 feet with the tractor to make room for more snow.

Incredible amount of snow in a short period of time. Originally the
weather people thought the "front" would set up more north and the
North Shore would get the brunt of the snowfall, but instead the front
set up 50 miles to the south which put the South Shore from about
Plymouth northward in the heavy bands of snow. When it's all over
early Tuesday morning we will have right around 24 inches of new snow
on top of the 28 inches we received three days ago.

The town has done a pretty good job keeping up with the roads. My
problem is keeping our driveway clear so we can even get to the road.
The house sits about 600 feet from the road and the driveway circles
around the barn with a pretty steep grade up to the house. Total length
to plow is just over 1,000 ft. Plus, I do my two closest neighbors
driveways. Keeps me busy.

Here's what one side of the driveway looked like this morning. I am
in the truck plowing. It's worse now. About another 10 inches has
fallen since then.

Without that driveway, you could have taken a few weeks vacation down
south, and come back when the snow was melted away.
But then you wouldn't have had the "challenge."

it around. Find some good melting equipment or salt the hell out of
those snow mountains of yours. ;-)

I know, the guy always post all caps but he's a good guy. Are you near
enough to Dighton Mass, if so I can shoot you his number...

I know he sounds corney but he's the real deal. Out last week doing some
folks for free, just because they needed it.


Appreciate it but so far we are holding our own. I plowed a couple of
times today but finally gave up because there's no longer anywhere for
the snow to go. I drove around on the driveway packing down what snow
remained and at least we can get out and down to the road. I am always
concerned about emergency vehicles being able to get up from the road.

Tomorrow I'll spend most of the day moving some piles back about
6 feet with the tractor to make room for more snow.

Incredible amount of snow in a short period of time. Originally the
weather people thought the "front" would set up more north and the
North Shore would get the brunt of the snowfall, but instead the front
set up 50 miles to the south which put the South Shore from about
Plymouth northward in the heavy bands of snow. When it's all over
early Tuesday morning we will have right around 24 inches of new snow
on top of the 28 inches we received three days ago.



Yeah, me and Jess had a **** of a time getting to work today cause they
really don't plow our roads in the neighborhood till later. Got sent
home today early though cause of the storm.... I have Wrangler AT's so I
usually get around pretty good if I can get off my street :)


The town has done a pretty good job keeping up with the roads. My
problem is keeping our driveway clear so we can even get to the road.
The house sits about 600 feet from the road and the driveway circles
around the barn with a pretty steep grade up to the house. Total length
to plow is just over 1,000 ft. Plus, I do my two closest neighbors
driveways. Keeps me busy.

Here's what one side of the driveway looked like this morning. I am
in the truck plowing. It's worse now. About another 10 inches has
fallen since then.

Saw what you need down at the Halifax Shopping Center on Sunday.
It was a big machine about the size of an 18 wheeler. A front end loader was dumping snow into it and the internal machinery melted the snow...you could see water flowing out of a good sized pipe into another area...I imagine it was a holding tank to be dumped down the storm sewers.

My problem is living in a city where the downtown streets were laid out in colonial times...that is..narrow and meant for horse buggies.
It's getting to be hard to navigate where the snow banks reduce the streets to about two thirds of their width and parking can be on both sides. I don't drive much these days to avoid getting my side mirrors clipped. In fact, with someone parked directly across from my driveway, it can be a squeeze just getting out on the street. In the past, if I complained and pulled out the 'safety card', the city would put up no parking signs on one side of our street. Guess it's time to start calling before the storm expected later this week hits.

And the snow continues .....

That will be tough on the grass.




Screw the grass.

I know a guy who fertilized his lawn with grass killer. Pulled the
spreader with his lawn tractor and you could see the route he took
driving it. Looked funny as hell. Now, who could that be?

Heard this morning that as of January 23rd, the official snowfall in
Boston and surrounding areas had only been 5.5 inches.

Since then over 58 inches have fallen. Getting stupid. This amount of
snow is great for unpopulated ski locations but towns and cities
have run out of places to put the crap.

Going to have another cup of coffee and then go hit the driveway again
for about the 10th time in the past 2-3 weeks. Same problem. No place
to push it. I am really regretting that I got rid of the big
snowblower
attachment I had for the tractor at one time but it was a rip roaring
pain in the ass to take off the front end loader in order to put the
snow blower on.

I can't imagine why that dummy even had granulated weed killer in his
possession. Do you remember him telling you why he had the stuff?
