Power and cable still on...third trip out to pull snow off roofs. It's waist deep on the flat areas,and drifts well over my head.. :shock: . The dogs look like snow moles... I wonder what the temp is in Ensenada..

I'm just heading out to start cleaning up. Can't see much past the deck because the snow is blowing so much. Just had a 23 mph wind gust. Looks like fun :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Estimated 1-1/2" to go here - time to get started on it. Fortunately, the brother-in-law flew in on Thursday, so I'll only have roughly half the pounds of snow to blow, shovel, curse at & all the rest. Condo living is looking better & better.

Arthur Sicard - what a great man he was to have created the snow blower. 1.5 hours to clear 2' of snow without breaking the back is pretty damn good. The sun is out already.... :sunny:

Groundhogs are a southern thing. You need to ask the Easter Bunny if it will be a long winter up North.

Case in point: if you moved to Kernersville, it was 55F and Sunny while it was still snowing in New England. I set a new personal best lap time at VIR on Sunday and got lots of open track time while you shoveled.

i still will be looking for a new shop but it's going to be in NC now . i never liked the cold and this was the last straw ! 6 weeks ago 1/2 of the roof to my shop blow off in a windy snow storm we had then 2 weeks ago the crap patch job they did blow off again when were had all the rain and wind . the damage cost is not been all added up but it's some were in the 30K range . i hate living up in new england i have had my fill of this shit !
