Where is the Snow?
Original Message Jan 18, 2005 2:02 pm

Has anyone been getting any significant snow besides Hickster in Alaska? Where is it?

If this keeps up much longer, deals on snowblowers are to be had.

Yesterday and today have been really weird. We have been getting alot of wind lately and when we go outside it is warm! Very strange. The wind felt like it was in the 50's when it should be in the 30's or less! What the heck is going on?

We've had a bunch of 2-4" "storms" but not a serous working storm yet. Kinda scary, the ocean is about a month behind schedule in cooling off too.

Well we got the biggest snow fall of the season last night. At least 1" of the white stuff.

Plans are to take one of my singles out for a workout. This may be one of the few chances I get this season.

We have 3/4 inch on the ground here in Dover, De.

Light and fluffy, going to use my summer blower to clear walks, steps, and deck!!

Hey Tom

Did you break in the 3650?? If so, how did it compare to your other Toros?

Hello Everyone:

Today we are going to get up to 16" of Lake Effect Snow!! At least that is what the National Weather Service is calling for. We officially have 24" on the ground that has come in the form of 6-10" events. At least we broke the cold spell that has been on the news this week.

HAPPY BLOWING!!!!

I tried using the 3650 but the snow was way too light. I was getting covered in snow because the R tek was just blowing the snow all over the place.

Switched to the CR20 which was much happier and kept the blowing to a minimum.

This weekend if we get the 6-12" I do plan on an informal Snow Commander vs. 3650 comparison test.
