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

I haven't figured out global warming. It snows like insane amounts but in all the wrong places. I might just move up to Canada and get some beach front property cause in a few years they are gonna have palm trees up there!

We're actually getting some snow here in eastern Mass as I type this. Not in any quantity but snow nonetheless - might be able to use the single stage tomorrow if we get a few inches or so.

So frustrating!!! I feal your pain.  I live in Long Island and bought a brand new John Deere 1028e and have yet to even pull it out of the shed.

Carefull what you wish for. I live in the twincities MN and we've been dumped on  so much already this year I think I'm going to go out and buy a brand new blower just to get it to stop. Going back to around Thanksgiving when we got cement for snow, gobs of it . Then last week I blew 15-20" three times in the blizzard. Doing the neighbours too because the machines they had could not even begin to eat the monster snows. I will say that my Ariens 926dle threw the stuff like a champ and probably took a year off it's life.  Then the slush. I've been blowing snow for  40yrs+ and have never seen snow heavier . At one point I had what looked like just water coming out the chute. UN-believeable. My  drive did slip as usual a few times and pissed me off when it did but I guess itss omething I have to live with. OH AND GUESS WHAT MORE SNOW NOW 5-8' . Here we go again

Good luck out there.  I just want to use it.  They have called for snow twice then retracted the forcast a few days before. 

Driving home from work, everyone is driving like grandma. Someone painted all the road white. I barely tap the gas pedal and the car decided to go sideways. Reverse lock to counter the rotation. :) Now the question is which shiny is coming out in the morning. Big red or little red?

I guess someone washed their car or snowblower today.

Not a flake in the sky and none forecast even for Christmas.

Well around here it only rains or snows if you wash your car or say things like it's going to be a great day, not a cloud in the sky. Then 15 minutes later you get a downpour. New England just seems to give you the weather you don't want.

So No Snow for me!

Man I have been watching the news and you guys are getting pummeled this year.

Sooner or later the Jet stream is going to move on east and we may be in for some of the same.

Yep it's fun for the first couple of storms but the thrill wears out pretty quickly.

It has surely been cold enough here in NJ but the northerly flow of the jet stream has been taking the moisture well offshore.

I am eager to try out my 926Pro also, Time to do the snow dance.

Friction drives when they get wet slip, Nothing you can do about that. But it doesn't take to long for them to dry up and start working again.

The price you have to pay I guess for on the fly shifting.

Oh no, it has started snowing, only an inch predicted, so my Toro won't see any action. I doubt we will even get an inch. I hope we get no snow at all. That would be really bad.
