March 4, 201511 yr QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) Looks like tomorrow is the last day of winter? Highs in the 30s and 40s for the foreseeable future. THANK GOD. The sad thing is that "normal" for this time of year is 40. 40 is going to feel like 65 after the last couple of months.

I work outside. I'm wearing a baselayer and hoodie.
March 23, 201511 yr 6 plus inches on the ground today here in OP. We have a tent up from the weekend in my yard from my kids bday, interesting to see these guys try to get it out of here.

That's really insane. I hate the March/April snowstorms. Hate to get in an accident or something when it should be 60 every day as a minimum.
November 11, 201510 yr Author Looks like wet snow showers and high winds tonight into tomorrow. Here comes Winter.

November 11, 201510 yr This summer I bought a two year old, rarely used, 24 inch, 2 stage electric start Craftsman snow blower, that retails for $750, for a whopping $200 bucks. I'm ready and excited to get a ton of snow so I can use it. BRING IT ON WINTER!

I'm ready and excited to get a ton of snow so I can use it. BRING IT ON WINTER! Shut up, you. The novelty wears off about 2 months in. Though I will say, even a few years after getting a serious snowblower, I am still glad I got it when I can finish the job in 20 minutes instead of 45 with the crappy old single-stage we had (or hours with a shovel).
November 11, 201510 yr The key is to move next to someone who has a snowblower and loves to use it. So much so that they clean my driveway every time in snows.
November 11, 201510 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Where'd you find that? Friends of my parents moved to Texas (had enough of the winter) and they were looking to get rid of it when they were getting packed up. I asked how much, he said $200, I said sold! Thing looks/runs great.

So much so that they clean my driveway every time in snows. I noticed a large pickup truck-mounted plow sitting in our potential new neighbor's driveway... Our current neighbor did this for us several times and is usually really good about it when I'm out of town for work.
