    Just don't "shovel", that's what minions are for.

    18" here, a lot more over in Fort Collins. Gave two nurses rides home yesterday afternoon. Took another to work this morning, several more scheduled for today.

    Haha! On Friday I thought I’d break down and finally buy a snowblower-Mr Last Minute. Went to Home Depot and the few in stock were $1400+. So.........I bought a gun instead

    I was looking a little enviously at my neighbors snowblower but a $500+ purchase for a once-in-20-years storm seems like a poor investment.

    I retire in 3 years, with luck, and we're looking to go someplace a little warmer anyway. I'll take my chances that we won't get another storm like this here until long after I've moved to sunnier climates.

    I had quite a bit more snow last night but with a lot of blow-off. Got a lot of the neighbors' blow-off onto my driveway so I ended up with drifts ranging from ankle high to knee high to almost waist-high. Tallest drifts were up against my backdoor -- had to shovel it out just so I could get out to clear the DirecTV dish. I've had deeper snows and drifts but never felt so old when clearing them -- the sciatica I've been suffering from during the past year didn't help.

    Finally got all dig out. Once the driveway and sidewalks and porch were clear I took my truck and drove back and forth to compact the snow in my little half culdesac to get to the clearest part of the road on the far side. Hopefully now my wife?s vehicle can make it out if she has to go anywhere.

    Anyone here how much snow we might get tomorrow?

    Unfortunately, my back and shoulders were sore since before the storm when I rushed to crush and recycle 130lbs of beer cans for my neighbor before the storm hit. Then I spent most of the storm pulling my transmission and transfer case. I didn't pick up a shovel until about 8pm last night. I only shoveled my side walk and a bit more on either side, but I carried each shovel full to build up a few enormous piles of snow for the neighbor kids to sled down.

    On an unrelated note, there was a car fire in the middle of the street (on the next block up). A Cadillac sedan. Unrelated, some neighbors were cruising around on a quad, and while emergency vehicles were arriving on the same street, decided to leave their quad just parked in the street for at least 30 minutes. What a bunch of clowns.

    As for tuning up a snow blower, I'm behind in small engine repair myself. Have to repair the pull starter on my lawn mower, I have a 2-stroke dirt bike that needs the head built (I think), and I still haven't gotten that Gravely running yet.
