BOSTON (AP) â€” Just as southern New England residents have finished
digging out from the latest storm, forecasters say more snow is on
the way.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Stephanie Dunten said Tuesday
the
region, which already has seen record snowfalls, is on track to see a
fairly weak system bring 2 to 4 inches of new snow to many
Massachusetts
and Rhode Island communities. It's expected to happen Thursday into
Friday morning.

The snowfall will vary: Cape Cod could see up to six inches while
western Massachusetts and portions of Connecticut could get 1 to 3
inches.

Forecasters also are watching a much larger storm that could dump
higher
amounts Sunday into Monday. Dunten said it's too early to say how much
that might ultimately bring.

She also warned of bitterly cold temperatures Friday through the
President's Day weekend. "The snow is not going to be melting anytime
soon," Dunten said. "We recommend homeowners scrape any snow off their
roofs to avoid overloading, as we've already seen a few roofs
collapsing."

It is getting ridiculous. Roads aren't bad due to the good work by town
public works departments and contractors but those of us with long
driveways are hurting.

Our town requires that horse "droppings" and mucked stall bedding be put
into private dumpsters for disposal. Ours is usually picked up every
two weeks but the Waste Management truck can no longer get up our
driveway and maneuver to raise it and dump it. I've done my best with
the truck and tractor to keep the driveway clear but I've run out of
places to pick up and pile the snow and the piles I've made limit the
refuse truck driver's ability to maneuver. I really need a big,
commercial front end loader at this point.

I am going out in a while to see if I can find a good sized snowblower
for sale anywhere.

I bet that will cost you ;-)

You really need to buy snow blowers in August

It reminds me of when I sold my Jeep. I did it in a foot of snow and I
got top dollar, simply because I could drive up the hill to the guy's
house. The test drive was to the bank ;-)

I called my wife and told her I was at some restaurant and I needed a
ride home.

Well, I found one. It was the last one they had and they didn't expect
more until next week. 10 hp Ariens. They loaded it on my truck using
their ramps.

Got home and scratched my head trying to figure out how to get it off
the truck. Was thinking of getting the tractor and a strap to lift it
off but decided to try something else. My wife was watching through the
window and laughing at me. I put the tailgate down and backed the truck
into a 7' snowbank. Wheeled the snowblower off the truck onto the
snowbank. Duck soup.

It's a big help in cleaning up the areas that are hard to maneuver the
truck around and are surrounded by snow banks too high for the tractor
to lift over. Still a pain in the ass.

Leave the horses, take the cannolis.
