Blizzard Thanksgiving 2019 ?

The plow guy at the shop just does the driveway (and a shit job of that). I have to clear along the building in front of our bay doors, and any parking spaces (up to 6 or 7), so a shovel is a non starter any time we get more than a couple of inches of snow. Before the original landlord passed away, I had keys to the old Scout with a plow and chains, so I would get there early and the lot was clean by 0730, so I know that it IS possible to plow that lot correctly.

I used to plow snow, your lot would be an easy lot to plow. On a hardness scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a perfect square with no curbs or obstructions anywhere I would rate your lot a 3 at most.

I got 3 inches of snow. It was horrible.

I got a day off work, it was horrible.

The plow driver they have in this park usually makes it's worse and this storm is no exception. Streets are solid ice as usual.

Got to the airport at 2pm Tuesday. Easy parking, security lines were quick and easy. Flight was on time. Easy peasy

This blizzard and cold weather is going to put a serious crimp in my normal Xmas lights routine. I just went out in the snow and hung the lights on the split-rail fence around the side & back of the house (easy to reach but was post-holing along) and then got the lights hung around the back patio cover (not too hard to rreach with my ladder and the snow held the base firm). On the front of the house . . . I may be hosed for awhile. We have 2 stories and the first level gutter is easy enough to reach, but is pretty frozen up with snow & ice. Can't get the hangers in.

The second floor, I have to stand on the roof for part of it (it's easiest to stand up there for all of it) and it's not gonna be safe to be on the roof for who knows how long. Parts of it I can reach with an extension ladder, but I'm pretty sure I can't reach a significant portion that way--because it's recessed a bit in that portion. Had about 18 inches of snow on that first level. I have a roof rake and pulled a good amount of snow off. My hope is that it gets warm enough to heat up the shingles and melt that part off. But not sure how long that will take or if the weather will cooperate.

Eventually, I have to think it will melt enough before Christmas . . . but it might be a pretty short stretch to have them up. I should have been "that guy" and hung them up early when it was all sunny and warm. But it's NEVER like this, so I figured it was fine to wait.

Yup, Westminster plow guys suck.

Meh, they hype up every snow event. As always, "we'll see". I like giant dumpers of 3 or 4 feet. Makes everyone slow the hell down for a day or two and <gasp> chill with their family. Bad week for one of those though.

Agreed.
