Blizzard here with heavy snow fall and winds 30 to 40 mph gusting to 70 MPH but the MALL is still open! Daughter is a manager of a store and corp said she had to open so I drove her in. Heaven forbid that someone might actually go shopping in this and the store might lose a dollar.  :scratch:

this is some heavy wet stuff... broke the cable on the wheeler plow. but I still managed to get myself and 2 neighbors cleared out. this stuff is hard on the wheeler. glad I topped of the extra gas cans in the garage a week ago.

Why is it this stuff only breaks when you need it.  I'll bet it sat for last three months and never needed any work. :rotflmao:
I have a tractor with cab and a 44" blower.  It grunted a bit but I got my place done.  Then I drove down the street to my sons house and did his.  One of his neighbors works nights and goes to school during the day.  The bank by his driveway was 4 feet high.  I just couldn't see him getting up to go to school and AAARRRUUGGHHH.  So I cleared it.   My son's other neighbor was plugging away with some poor excuse of a snow blower I don't think he ever would have cleared the snow by spring so I did his too. 
***I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.***

I saw a vehicle heading north out of the cities the other night with 2 surfboards on the top. Now I know where they were going. Seriously.

Yes there are some locals here who do surf the BIG waves, up the shore there are some spots that have made the national news when the waves are right. I don't know how they would have done it in yesterday weather. Hard just to film the little I did with spray turning to ice and hitting you in the face at fifty miles an hour. Like taking a paint ball shot to the face.  :doah:
