Breaking the Jinx!
Original Message   Dec 19, 2010 9:55 pm
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

Well it has finally stopped snowing here after 2 days. I'd say we ended up with about 18" or so between the 2 back to back storms. I've got about 3' of snowpack on the ground and my driveway is beginning to look more like a tunnel as each storm comes and goes. They're calling for another substantial storm this Saturday afternoon so we'll have to see what that brings. We seem to be getting a storm at least once a week (typically on Wednesday for some reason) so a Saturday storm will be a welcome change I guess....

Hi FrankMA it sounds like you live near Lawrence or Haverhill in that general area. That's not that far from me. We only got about 13 inches this last storm, of course a lot of that went into the trees and will come down later.

I wonder if Saturday will be really bad. I need to pick up a few gallons of gas.  I have areas next to the house that are so built up that I'll have to blow the snow the other way. My wife wants to be able to use teh snowblower so if it's on the weekend she'll be able to.

Hi Steve_Cebu: I live in North Andover right in between Lawrence and Haverhill - good guess! The weather guru's are calling for 6" on Saturday afternoon and someone just told me there's another storm brewing for Monday/Tuesday.

I know that area real well, used to live in that area years ago. We used to eat at the China Blossom back when the food was still good. We still stop by Harrisons when we are in the area as they have the best Roast Beef around.

This is one storm I'm hoping passes us by as we want to go to the SCCA RallyX they are having up at NED. We are thinking of doing RallyX next year. If it's a small storm that's ok but if it's too much they'll cancel.

This is what happens when everyone washes and waxes their snowblowers and doesn't want any snow.
