Nor’easter

[Ncdan]

Yup^^^.
Got the snowblower attachment on the tractor last night, ready to go. Don't have a cab on it, have to be mindful of wind direction...

I’ve got an 86 Cub Cadet, I love that old tractor, built like a tank.  12hp. Great mower/tractor, torque out the ying/yang!

This is my driveway. The snow is so deep that I can't even get my tractor through it.

Nice!  I wonder what it would look like in color instead of B&W.  Can you post a color photo?

Awesome!  You know that hat is warm!  I have a leather and rabbit fur bomber hat that I can only wear in extreme cold or it starts giving me claustrophobia!

Nice. Probably much the same as mine under different tin. Cub didn’t change frames and transaxles much in their machines. I’m talking about real Cubs here, not the Home Repo ones. Mines a ‘01 2185, hydrostatic, 18hp ohv V-twin Kohler. Plenty of balls to run the blower and the mower. It sounds kinda like Mrs larrys’ long gone V50 II...
We got an honest foot o’ snow today. Lucky we had a couple of cold days before to freeze my gravel driveway. Blowers don’t throw gravel as well as they throw snow...

Ok, I lied...  We got hammered.  An honest seventeen (17) inches...!   Which is a heck of a lot less than many got...

The Cardinal wind chime that I use to show friends from away on fb how much snow we get every storm...  I hangs just off the deck by about six inches to the bottom of the bird. 

Like the bonehead that I am, I did not shoot one last mage when I went out to move the snow.  It was dark anyway.

Sounds like a delicious Michelin star meal coming up soon in Lindale!

17 inches of snow is nothing. I got 3 to 4 feet.

I know, odd that we here on the coast in Maine did not get more.  I talked with a former BIL in NH and he is dealing with 37"...!  Just wow.

Be careful out there.

There is a 45” report out of PA

45 inches of SNOW qualifies for......"SNOW-MA-GEDON!!!"

The weather people seemed to really be challenged calling this one, especially near southeast Pa., NJ and Delaware. As late as Wednesday, Philly were forecast 3” to up to 12”. Just east of me, by less than 10 miles, the call was 1”-3”, or just rain. Allentown, and anything west or north, it was 12” up to 36”.

I shot for the moon and made a wager with my uncle back home in York, PA that they’ll just get 6” (akin to the infamous Penn State forecast of 199?, when forecasters from the college told everyone we were in for a very big storm, and it... did nothing). He’s betting on 10”.

BTW, I won. If there are two things I can predict well, it’s when my (American) football team will win as underdogs, and when south-central Pennsylvania weather forecasters will lay a duck. I could go to Vegas on that, right?

C'mon now...what about THIS legendary PA weather forecaster?!?

Leave it to the fine Germans living in Penn’s Woods to replace a clairvoyant badger from the Old World with a fat ground rat in the foothills (squirrel, technically) to foretell its future.

C'mon now...no respect for:

* The fat ground rat...
* The "Whistle Pig"...
* The poor eastern Woodchuck...

Oh the horror....THE HORROR!!

My cousin, who lives in Copake, NY, (Mid-Hudson Valley), sent me this little morning temperature update from a few days ago...

That's nice...
