💬 OT ❄️ The Official TCG Complains about Snow Yearly Despite Living in the Midwest and it never snows here anyway.

If this is the sacrifice I have to make, I will do so.

I'm hoping for closer to 5" so I can get some real use out of the snowblower this year finally.

May or may not have contributed to it snowing.

Do you mean the car seat with the beer holder? ?

Prob 2 inches here and it’s done snowing, but appears zero plows have been out.

Time to braaap boys! Gotta make due with what pitiful snow we get

I’d say 3-4” of the white stuff here. So the forecast was accurate for here.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

yeah about 3-4 inches here as well. Not bad as work was calling for a dusting at first then it changed to 2-4. Pulled out the snowblower and remembered how nice it is having it.

 

[jason05gt]

3-4” here of white fluffy snow.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

My left SI joint is still hurting, bad. I’m probably going to go the “borrow the neighbor’s single stage” route.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

3-4” here. Shoveled the back patio and stairs. Started the front and the neighbor came by with his snow blower and cleared out the driveway. Very appreciative of that as it takes a long while to clear it out.

 

[Dan00Hawk]

I've learned that leaving my cars in the driveway before it snows allows me to back them into our culdesac and brush them off there in the street. That also leaves 2 large clear spots in the driveway that don't need to be shoveled. This has greatly increased my shoveling efficiency.

Perfect. Now to buy 7 more cars to fill the driveway. ?

3-4" here too. Pull cord snapped on my garbage picked single stage, never used the electric starter until today. Time to rewind this junk with some beers

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I always wondered why the manufactures never put like a 3/4” nut on the starter so you could hit it with an impact to spin it up. Goes for other yard equipment too. Imagine using an impact to start a fussy chainsaw.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I did a time lapse of the snow. The video starts about 3:30pm yesterday and goes until noon today. It's an exposure every 20 seconds, and the video plays at 30fps. The snow starts about 45 seconds in. Neat to see once the sun starts to come up and the clouds change direction, then the sun comes out.

Here is the same video on YouTube, but the 4K version is still processing, so only the 1080p is available at the moment:

4” in Harvard, slightly less in McHenry. Sun being out is doing a good job melting what’s left.

Im learning that I just use the extra juice in the battery from the snow blower to use my leaf blower and clean my car off before I do my final clearing with the snow pusher.

I had a old lawn mower that I started like that. Would make noises like I was Nascar when I did...lol

 

[DanJ]

Realized the old using a paint stir stick to approximate 1/8” to adjust the scraper on the snowblower isn’t really accurate. Readjusted it on 1/8” drill bits and got a bit of a cleaner scrape. New skids are awesome. My neighbors blacktopped over a concrete driveway so there’s a pretty thick 2” plus step up when going over the sidewalk at their driveway. Thing cruised right over it.

Phil Schwaaaaaartz said last night it was too early to predict amounts. My phone now shows no precip we'd or Thursday.
So....

 

[CMNTMXR57]

THey were around 8" the past few days, now intellicast has 3". So yea, these guys won't know until it's over.

 

[Gone_2022]

I saw a GFS model that said 26 inches for just south of Chicago.

Fucking stoooooooooop. The northeast just had a major huge snow event and it just touched like 24 inches and that was a massive event. Where they actually get real snow storms. Anything double digits is a pipe dream here.
