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

I'm thinking about the song "California Girls" by David Lee Roth if that helps at all.

And "I get around" by the Beach Boys.

"409"

And some odd reason, "Midnight Train" by Sheen Easton.

Yea I am dreading the fact that we may get a significant snow storm here in New Jersey.

I don't want to get my brandy new Ariens full of  snow.

You're safe.  There's no snow where David lives.

There's no snow where Steve lives nor where FrankMA lives either. Of course we don't want any snow! Horrid stuff I hope we don't get a single flake all winter. There's NO WAY it's going to snow before Christmas. Oh and I just washed my car too!

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.

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.
