How did you fare?


Obviously, it's just getting up and running, but I may not be able to post at the end! I lost power for 4 days with Irene....

Same. Was out about 2 hours ago and about to go back out. Roads were okay but drivers were all over the place. House is doing just fine. I don't know if I've said this before, but stay safe everyone.

I scare easy, when it comes to weather!



When Irene came through, we had a Trap shoot scheduled.

We shot.

I lived 23 years in Buffalo. They've already had a foot of snow today and their governor didn't close all the roads.

Deval is a whimp!

Peak isn't suppose to hit for another 7 hours, and blizzard conditions don't hit for another 3. So far, so good. Most likely a "Meh, it's New England"

Cleared 2 feet of snow from the driveway last night about 10 PM. Woke up to 3-4 feet plus of drifting snow this morning. Think I'll wait for the neighbor to crank up his very large bucket loader, hope he doesn't forget about me!

 

[MrsStrangeNH]

Nearly 2 feet here. Looks like it's nearly done. Going to go out in a few and dig out the front porch and propane access.

 

[MisterHappy]

About 2 feet. Snow blower started right up, and that was it.

Stove nice and warm, walking-dead-athon, no lack of eats.

Winning!

31 inches of snow in Uxbridge. Good storm. Enjoyed it. Now the real fun begins!!!!

 

[Kevin_NH]

Around 2 feet of snow, 4 foot drifts. This stuff is so light and fluffy, it's difficult to snowblow; the wind just drops it right back on the driveway, can't get any distance.

Drove up to Portsmouth, NH this morning for a wedding. No one is out on the roads but a few other cars and plows. Average speed going up was around 50.

The only trouble i had yesterday was with the carb compliant gas can. I vow to resist this sh!t.

 

[NTMAREMACH]

This storm was nothing. I even took the Mach1 out for a ride.

 

[SpaceCritter]

Skywarn spotter in town said 36.2" Town plow finally made first pass up our street this morning.

April Fools storm was way worse.....

Yeah, you wind up spilling so much fuel that there's no emissions benefit at all.

The only can I've found worth buying is the No-Spill, available at Honda dealers and online. They have a button that opens a vent, and you can buy a flexible extension tube so you don't have to tip it all the way up. Highly recommended.

 

[LuvDog]

I end up transferring gas from my tree hugger friendly cans to my fuel jugs

 

[SpaceCritter]

Stinky winter gear back on? Check.

Cup of yerba mate? Check.

Roof rake? Check.

(Sigh.) Back out I go...

 

[Jason Flare]

I ordered plastic diesel jerry jugs out of Canada. The shipping is expensive but they have vents; quick pouring and no spillage. Worth it.

A buddy of mine had TWINS born in the middle of that storm.
