First Snow...

This is what we have

That looks familiar. I feel for you Nels. We've go more coming in later today/tonight.

I am SO looking forward to eventually moving back to AZ.

I want to retire somewhere warm. I can't afford California, so it looks like northern Florida where the heat isn't too oppressive.

Still no snow on the beach, maybe next time. The wife is working up in DC for a few weeks, got hammered up there. Mike

Check out Sun City West, AZ. It's a retirement city intended to make you enjoy life. You have to be 55 to live there fulltime and use the facilities. Facilities include golf courses, and a large number of hobby shop including woodworking and metalworking shops fully equipped. My mind blanked out after I learned about these features so I can't provide more info. I work with a guy whose in laws have a place there and he bought there a couple years ago. He's 53 and looking forward to retirement big time.

That's a lot of snow!

Need to install a laser guide on the blower. Those edges look a little wobbly.

Considering that the Nuclear Simulation super computers @ Los Alamos were supposedly
re-tasked to do weather forecasting, they're missing the mark a tad.

i can't believe the eastern US got pounded so hard and we didn't even get a lick.

Not that I'm complaining about it though......

I'm looking forward to the +7 C days they're calling for on Tues/wed this week.

Best snowblowers I've ever seen were Honda and Toro.

I went with a Toro since it throws as far as a Honda and costs at least a grand less. My Toro is one tough machine. Throws around 25 feet, chews up ice blocks like paper and is all power drive. The "quick stick" chute control is fantastic too. I've done my driveway so deep the Toro has to chew a hole under it, the top falls in and we back out and go again. Like so:



Super tough machine, damned near unstoppable. Money well spent!

In MD I had to plow my driveway every 4 hours starting at about 11pm Friday...
This is what I had waiting for me at the end of the driveway today...



Had to work through about 15ft of 4-6ft high plow tailings...
Take a look at my avatar pic for what's pushing this beast.
