Two weeks ago we set a record here in Seattle. I had 16 inches of snow at my house. And it was before freezing for almost three weeks straight. We actually got all the way down to -5 with the wind chill. For some of you mid westers you are scoffing at this. But since the most snow I have ever seen at my house is 6 inches we pretty much were in "social dislocation" around here. Our garbage didnt get picked up for 2 and half weeks and our recycling still hasnt been and its been over three now for that.

We just had our second moderate storm in New England.  About 6-12 inches depending on where you live, maybe a bit more up in Down East ME.  No big deal, I'm from MI, lived in Iceland, CA, skied in UT, CO, VT, NH, ME, etc.....big wooop....

A report this morning had the local towns already complaining that their snow removal budgets are running out.  Makes you wonder who sets these budgets.  Do these people not realize that in New England, it will snow, every year, without fail, come hell or high water!  We average about 50-60 inches yearly (southern MA), if they can't remove 1 or 2 feet without running out of money, maybe they need to buy a different calculator!!!!

I would'nt live in a southern state though, my English, Irish, Norwegian heritage doesn't care for direct sunlight....

Poor Baby!!!!!

Yesterday morning, it was 24 BELOW zero, and we had our third snowstorm of the last few weeks. I have no clue how many inches overall, but the plow drifts along the street are 4 feet - and that is residential. My cul-de-sac has a 2+ story snow pile in the middle of it - no place else to put it.

Just got back snow blowing out the mailboxes - the city has now demanded that we do that or no mail and maybe a ticket. There are times when less gummint is more - like always. I hate living in town!

As for snow removal budgets failing, they are just getting in line for Federal cheese handbouts bailout money.

We're firing up the snowblower again ... Get your furry butt up here and check it out!

My snow blower got fed the landscaping extension cord leading to my red and green Christmas spot lights. Apparently, it was not where I left it before the snow came.  :-[

I'm looking forward to cutting the rest 25 ft of 16 gauge heavy duty from the shaft and blades. It's on so tight I think the plastic melted together! And, yeah, the little brass bolt holding the blades to the shaft snapped off.  ::)

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

I see you have that problem at your house too.
