Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Oh Gosh I hope it won't snow! I just washed my snowblower and waxed it. It would be terrible if it snowed and got all dirty. I sure hope it doesn't snow this weekend that would be awful! It's too cold to be out blowing snow. I hope we have the lightest snowfall of the decade. Nothing could possibly make it snow. I hope we don't have any snow at all this year that would be great!

This year we will have no snow at all here. We won't get more than a flurry all winter. It's so great when it isn't snowing. There isn't a cloud in the sky!

Now to sit back and wait for the blizzard of 2011

If I had any photoshop talent I'd give you the results in an updated picture.  Unfortunately I'll need to rely on others for an official measurement.

Well, the Jinx is over and we are up to our thighs in reality.

The Snow monster is ready for it's first run. My wife heading for work at 7:00AM and my Son at 6:00AM so I figure I have to start at 4:45. Since they are considered essential personnel I don't have much of a choice in the matter. It's a good thing I am off today and I'm loaded for bear. We are getting hammered down here in Central NJ and expect every bit of 2'

I never had heated hand grips before, should be interesting. Expectations and confidence are high.

I'm a big Top Gear fan but I'm not getting the reference. A wall of throwing distance? All we have here is trees.

Ah, never mind. 

What happened to all the lovely snow we had?! It's been in the high 30's and low 40's and most of the snow is gone. None on the way either.

Getting colder again down this way and snow is forecasted for Friday into Saturday.

I've read that we have a chance of snow, but I think it's a long shot. Since I've had my snowblower we've had quite a lot LESS snow that we've ever had.

I'll send you some of ours ;-)

My entire front yard varies from 5-8 feet high of snow. Of course a good part of that comes from the driveway being blown over it.

How about some pics of that driveway of yours. I'd like to see those drifts. 

I put a good row of cedars on the windward side of my property.  They're fairly tall now and don't get too much drifting anymore.  From the cedars to the driveway is about 70 feet or so and when we get a wicked west wind for a couple days, it will build hard drifts on the driveway.  Not very deep though, maybe 20 to 24  inches but hard packed.  If I get that much of a drift with only 70 feet of fetch, I can only imagine what you'd be getting from wide open farm fields.
