Big Snow, maybe

Time to buy TP....

Good advice GG. We're seriously hoping for several big, historic level snowstorms over the next six weeks. It would be okay to get 6 feet like we had in when, 2003? when it buried the truck to the roof top. We cleared the driveway by hand shoveling 3 days before the state opened the highway. Now I have a snowthrower.

It's terribly shy on snowpack this year. I was scanning through photos I took in 2017 when we had three times the snow that we do now. And after the historic fires that forced us to evacuate last October, most all the mountain folk here want as much water we can get in the drainages before summer. Bring it on, we're ready.

We had 8', in Nederland, in the 2003 storm. Good times.

Ha! I had a similar experience. Took me 2 days to just dig out the driveway, $300 to get a guy to bulldoze the 200 yards of unmaintained road, and 9 days before the maintained road was cleared. Got a snowblower that summer. Got quite a workout.

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.

Truth in that, dated a ER nurse years ago and she would have daily stories of "old guys" coming in with heart attack symptoms after shoveling snow from a big storm. She stated it was her number 3 patient killer after illegal drug OD's on a yearly basis. Forgot what the other big killer was but that statement has always stuck with me.

Good times coming.....

Got the first 3" this morning.

[hollohas]

Some models showing possible 40" in Denver?!?! Dang, that'd be something.

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.!
