Big Snow, maybe

....I bought a new PTO driven blower for the tractor earlier this winter. Sounds like I may finally get to put it into action. Yippeee.!

So, you are the one!

I always heard those were pictures out of Canada.

wow, 40" is a monster storm; heck, anything over 12 will cause some major issues.

I wonder how much will get to the springs.....mostly it will depend on when it hits; rain or snow or both or neither. Reports are for 8" to 2 feet.

Time to make sure that the cars cover the area I need clear....

A real meteorologist was on last night and explained the differing predictions for the week-end snow.
All of the models are using satellite information and reports from buoys while the storm is over the ocean, which can not be used to predict potential snow fall.
It is not until the storm hits land when sensors and weather balloons can be launched into the storm that the models start predicting with any accuracy.
And so, no one knows what the snow fall will be. It is all guesswork until data is available.
Much like anything else science related.

The exact path is in question as well, but *sources seem to agree that the storm won't miss Colorado completely.

*I only read one place that said it won't miss Colorado completely.

Rondog, where was that picture takin'? I wonder how or why the snow blower is throwing snow out of the shoot in that top pic.?

I bought a new PTO drivin' blower for the tractor earlier this winter. Sounds like I may finally get to put it into action. Yippeee.!

Could be Japan.. they have a pretty famous snow zone that gets huge dumps and deep roads.

That was in Fulton, NY, about 12 yrs ago or so. Sent to me by a co-worker at the time. Some BITCHIN' lake effect snow off Lake Ontario, not uncommon up there. And that's not a "snowblower", that's a full-size industrial front-end loader with a blower attachment on it. Blow up the photo.

That's some serious shit up there. Colorado thinks they know snow, HAH! Talk to upstate NY, and many other places. Yeah, we get snow - but other places get [B]SNOW![/B]

For all the older guys, don't forget that peak heart attack season is right during/after winter snows. Don't let ego get in the way of hiring someone where needed, shoveling epic amounts of snow is a lot harder on the body than our body will let on. Really be careful if you honestly haven't ran, biked, or done real cardio workouts in years.

In that case, make sure you have them do the neighbors too
