Made my day
 

I spent about 6 hours outside today moving snow from here to there just
trying to make room for truck deliveries, etc.

Came in the house only to receive an email from my sister regarding
the storm forecast for this coming Saturday through Monday.
She is the Deputy Director of Emergency Management for Plymouth.
(10 miles south of us).

Here's the email:

-------------------------------------

THIS IS TO BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY -

We just got a call directly from the Taunton Weather Service. They
NEVER call us directly and we monitor their site as storms approach.

The head forecaster, the one who approves all forecasts to go out, said
he wanted to give us a heads up that the approaching storm is likely to
be like none we've seen before. He had HIGH confidence that our area is
going to get hit and when we do, it will be with 1 to 2, possibly 3 feet
of snow and blizzard like conditions at times with winds at 50-70 mph.
With the already sagging branches on trees from snow that is still on
them, there will undoubtedly be power outages, perhaps lengthy. Mobile
homes should be prepared for roof collapses.

I don't send this to alarm you, but to give you time to start thinking
seriously of what you need to do to prepare. IF, and I hope that's a
big IF, this comes to fruition the way they expect, this could be a
life-threatening storm. We are praying the NWS is wrong, but better to
be prepared however you can be than not be.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

----------------------------------

This is insane.

I've been outside since 7:30 this morning widening the driveway and
plowing places on lawn areas to put additional snow should this storm
materialize. Also spent an hour with the tractor uncovering my
neighbor's mailbox that was buried in a 7 foot high by 9 feet wide pile
of snow. Then, visited a friend who plows and sands for the state. He
dumped a bucketful of treated sand (has salt in it) in the bed of my
truck and I spread about half of it on the driveway. I'll save the rest
for later. Then, shoveled the deck above the 4 season porch (again)
and shoveled a path to the propane tank for for the garage heater.

One thing is for sure. Getting lots of exercise. I must be in
halfway decent cardiac shape otherwise I should have flopped over
by now.

This is tongue in cheek but you could push that snow across the state road on the other side providing it doesn't interfere with other neighbors

I have. The banks across the street from the end of my driveway are
about 8 feet high. :-)

I've made progress though. For reference, the pile of snow in front of
the barn is about 7-8 feet high. The two driveway going around the barn
merge behind it in the picture and from there it's another 400' to the
road.

That's why I am bitching so much. :-)

Yeah. I have a liner in the truck bed. After I am done shoveling it on
the driveway I rinse the back of the truck as best I can with a
hose. As long what's left is on the plastic liner, I don't think
it's a problem.

Very late, and unfortunately it happens frequently. I probably know
of half a dozen people who have died shoveling snow. It seems to be a
combination of the cold and exertion that brings it on.

Being 65 it's something on your mind, for sure. This winter has been
the ultimate stress test though. I've shoveled more snow than I have
in many years. So far, so good. That said, today's activities were
a bit more strenuous than normal. Right now I am relaxing with a
couple of rare, liquid Advils ... namely a couple of Sam Adams Lagers.

Yeah, when you mentioned it I looked it up. Miniscule amounts though.

Yes, it's in the air, and you're breathing it. Nitrogen is naturally in the air anyhow, but when it's snowing (or raining) there is a heavier concentration of it.

I think it's more than a mere wives tail. It seems the crp fields contain a higher nitrogen level after a snow than before. minute but higher.

The atmosphere is something like 76 percent nitrogen. I don't

Me and Jess had to dig a hole through the side of the road pile to make
a path to the fuel oil filler hube on the side of the hous... I was
shocked and delighted how soft and light it was, even in the street side
snow bank. I dug through it in less than five minutes but despite what
wafa and others say, I still can get out there and get it done :)

I understand most of the nitrogen in the atmosphere that is made available

Nitrogen is there Richard. Snow is called the 'poor mans fertilizer"

http://cultureofchemistry.fieldofsci...n-in-snow.html



Yeah, when you mentioned it I looked it up. Miniscule amounts though.
The nitrogen is actually in the air, not the precipitation.
Questionable whether it is really a "natural fertilizer" or an old
wive's tale.

Yes, it's in the air, and you're breathing it. Nitrogen is naturally in
the air anyhow, but when it's snowing (or raining) there is a heavier
concentration of it.

I think it's more than a mere wives tail. It seems the crp fields
contain a higher nitrogen level after a snow than before. minute but higher.


The atmosphere is something like 76 percent nitrogen. I don't understand
why rain or snow increases it.

I understand most of the nitrogen in the atmosphere that is made available
to the ground is via lighting.

I bet it is via plants and the poop from the animals that eat them in
the natural world and the chemical industry in the unnatural world we
actually live in.

The natural nitrogen fertilizer. Where it is sent to the ground for the
plants. Not th commercial Urea.

a path to the fuel oil filler hube on the side of the hous... I was
shocked and delighted how soft and light it was, even in the street side
snow bank. I dug through it in less than five minutes but despite what
wafa and others say, I still can get out there and get it done :)"



Congratulations...that new hairdo and a job must have energized you.
You can thank me anytime for the good advice I've been gifting you with over the years.

Duh! Johnny, did you really say that?
Sigh...! Yes, I did send him the "gift" of my excellent advice on a regular basis through this newsgroup.
You know, I think more is failing on you than your hearing, eyesight and teeth.

You are such a sweetheart. Maybe some day you can describe how you've been 'gifting
you' to me all these years.

Donnie is fully retired, with a pension, with a new car and boat, with
health care and whatever else he needs. How does your life compare?
