I have a little more than 3 feet on the ground and another 18" due this weekend. My dogs are going to be able to step over the 4' property fencing :-\
The dunes in my front yard from the plow guy are already 7' high.

When I was 8 I rescued the 5 year old girl next door from a snow drift with a heroic clean and marching OHP manoeuvre. Literally in over her head and I've felt like a big man ever since. I don't know how long she was stuck in there but she was a complete basket case.
It was about 98 here today tho so I had to go without skiing. You lucky, lucky bastards.

Relax, my kneeg. I will get some pics soon. I am in my cave blasting deads and back.
Home gym FTW with snow dunes.

41 inches of snow.....street only has enough room for one car to go one way, snow drifts, piles up to 7 feet.

I'm so sick of this snow BS, more coming this weekend.

I love when people say stuff like this. ::) I lived in California for 1 year and absolutely hated the weather. It sucked.
I love Northeast weather, and winter is my favorite season.

Why is it that northerners complain about the snowfall every year?
You absolutely know what to expect, yet you still whine.
Its easy to void, move to a milder climate.

We love complaining. I kid you not, there is nothing new englanders like more than bitching about a blizzard.

We complain about it being 98 degrees in the shade during summer but.........

Yeah, fall is my favorite season. It only lasts about 6 weeks, but it is the best. I lived in FL for 3 years and I really missed actual seasons.

I was trying to move some snow when the snow thrower started grinding on something. When I pulled back I realized that I had found my wheelbarrow, buried under 5 feet of snow...

I am pretty lucky. If you look a couple of posts up, you can see that my roof is angled acutely enough that less than a foot has accumulated on the main part. There is some concerning drifting on family room roof adjacent the near chimney.
Also, note the complete lack of icicles. We have GREAT second floor insulation and the attic is air flow-through so it's outside temp. That means that the snow in contact with the shingles isn't melting. VERY happy.
-
Yeah, a great looking house you have there... Mine has all the huge icicles hanging and shit...
-
Nice looking home aj

aj has it figured out.
So far, the heating cables I put on my roof are doing the trick. Had over 25k in damage over 4 years

Live 30 miles north of Boston....Mother of all winters here this year
18 days ago we had 5 inches on the ground...now we have around 67 inches
We had a couple storms...then a blizzard...then another 2 feet the last few days
Spent about 3 hours cleaning snow off my roof after I did my Moms roof.

85 today in Phoenix area. A record high 65 at our cabin in the White Mountains over near the NM border. We are way way ahead of rainfall for the entire state. Way behind in mountain snow. I wish we had more snow on the hill.

I've been watching that, especially the Sunday festivities. It's a Nor'easter that if it tracks about 100 miles west will be a multi-foot blizzard on Boston. The weather models have been shifting back and forth, trying to get a good track. Our luck hasn't been great this year so far.

I grew up in Portsmouth NH and 1st went to college in the heart of the NH White Mts at PSC.
My 81 yr old mom still lives there and always bitches about the snow this time of year.
Hey Mom, do what your son did and move the fuk out of that GOD forbidden Siberia !
Howard, Portsmouth is a great town. We go all the time (Flat Bread Pizza Co.) out of this world, Portsmouth Brewery, etc.
Also all the other bars, places to eat, shop. (Its only a 30 minute ride for us).

Thanks to WW and PL66 for the positive words on my hometown.
When I was 12, I was out shoveling the drive way with my dad.
He was a loving dad but was tough minded after serving in WWII and Korea.
It was cold and I got tired after an hour of shoveling.
I told him, I was done shoveling, threw down my shovel and started to walk in.
I took 3-4 steps and I felt this quick , hard shove in the back.
The shove sent me face first into a snow bank.
I dusted the snow off my face, picked my shovel back up and finished the driveway with him.
He never said a word and simply nodded his head at me when I returned to work.
My dad is long dead and I miss him.
But, every winter, I reflect on the unspoken life lesson he taught me as a boy that winter.
Would love for you to give me a long session with many repetitions of hard shoves in the back. (Maybe a little homo)
-
I'm digging the cold weather running in the park. You can do 40 minutes and hardly break a sweat.
Good luck to Boston Getbiggers. Apparently, more snow on the way.

I agreed to go XC skiing on Monday. On the plus side, there will be a foot and a half of new snow. On the downside, it'll be -10F in the sun.

Howard our dad's were very similar and mine gained his citizenship fighting in Korea (no EBT back then). He has Alzheimer's now and if he knew he would be so pissed I didn't take him in the woods and use my glock.

Sorels are awesome. Got mine at Sam's Outdoor in Brattleboro, VT. Used to wear them to work in harsh winter weather when I lived in Western MA. Probably the best winter boots made... :)
-
Although, I don't know if the Sorels made today are the same as they used to be. This excerpt from Wikipedia...
"Sorel is a line of winter boots. The boot has long been popular in Canada for its high quality and warmth. The Sorel line was introduced in 1962 [1] by Kitchener, Ontario-based Kaufman Rubber Co. (later known as Kaufman Footwear), and became the world's best-selling cold weather boot.[2] In the summer of 2000, Kaufman Footwear went bankrupt, and the Sorel trademark was bought by Columbia Sportswear.[3] Following Columbia's purchase, the Sorel brand was expanded to other products, such as nylon outerwear and other work-related garments.[4] Prior to Kaufman's bankruptcy, Sorel boots were made only in Canada; today they are produced outside of Canada, mainly in China (2012) or Vietnam." :(

Bummer how many boots/shoes are made OUS! My kicking around boots are the American made Red Wings and you can't kill them!
-
I've lived in my Rocky S2V 105 boots since I bought them. Never had boots so comfy. The soles wore out first, maybe because I'm on concrete a lot, so just bought a second pair but am too chicken to dirty them so far. First pair has seen a lot of hours tho so I'm very satisfied. Consider them for summer.
There's some manufacturing compliance that they need to meet in order to be allowed to sell to the military, so they're US made enough to pass, whatever that means. And you get to look like you just came from stomping jihadists.

It seems like there's a weather pattern that keeps repeating. I'm 50 and I don't remember any NE major city getting hit with 12-18" storms that many times in a single winter.

I don't know how you're attacking it, but one technique is to attach a brush or a scraper to a Painter's extension pole, and hit it that way.

Too much damn snow for a standard rake. I'm gonna have to get up there with a shovel in the few places where it's becoming concerning.
-
Install a galv steel roof. Add a heating option to the plenum if you want. Shingles are an unsuitable roofing material for freezing conditions. Every year you hear the lamentations of the homeowners. Why they continue to be used when ply & shingle is more expensive than steel is a mystery.

Do you have any salt left?
If so, you could throw some up there to soften up the snow/ice before attacking it.

Would be a massive expense. So far, the $70 heating coil I've put up there is doing the trick. I also have a coupler so I can attach a garden hose to my upstairs bathroom, then use a gutter cleaner attachment to spray hot water up and into any ice spots I want to manage.
New roof would be idea. My house is under 15 years old, and the builder did some really poor work in spots, mostly with the roof.

Unless you've got a cut up roof you could probably DIY when the time comes. Even good shingles might be on the way out after 15 years.
Bathroom hose connection nuthin'. Cylinder, CO2, mapp gas bottle, fuel, hose, metering valve, trigger gun.

I made the exact same thing in the video, but decided to stick with the hot water this time. Steel roof installation might change my mind, as it would resist the flames.
Can't do this one myself - too high up, too steep an angle.

The wife put together some Getbigger fuel: a haunch of beef with some potatoes and carrots, beef stock and some salt and pepper. Eight hours to go!
-
Well ok but a needle valve at the gun's inlet would really let you fine tune the flow so nothing gets overtoasted. When you try diesel through the airless paint sprayer let me know if it works! Handles oil paints & solvents. Probably tolerate it fine.

BOSTON (AP) — A storm brought a new round of wind-whipped snow to New England on Sunday, creating near-whiteout conditions in coastal areas and forcing people to contend with a fourth winter onslaught in less than a month.
A blizzard warning was in effect for coastal communities from Rhode Island to Maine into Monday; and a bone-chilling blast of cold, with lows of minus-10 degrees was in the Sunday night forecast in parts of the region.
As the storm lashed the coastline of Cape Cod Bay with heavy surf and nearly a foot of fresh snow, Red Cross volunteer Marc Lieber was riding it out at home in Sagamore Beach. He was on standby, but even if called, he said he probably would not be able to deploy.
“I can’t get out of my driveway,” Lieber said. “The earlier snow hasn’t gone away, and now this.”
A foot of snow had fallen across much of eastern Massachusetts by Sunday morning, with Ipswich and Salisbury recording 20 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Before it is all over, coastal areas of New Hampshire and southern Maine could see up to 2 feet, weather forecasters said.
“The best thing people can do is stay home, stay indoors,” said William Babcock, a weather service meteorologist.
Gov. Charlie Baker in Massachusetts and Gov. Gina Raimondo in Rhode Island warned motorists to stay off the roads.
Baker said Sunday morning that high tide was not as severe as anticipated, with no reports of major flooding, but warned that winds gusting over 60 mph could bring power outages.
“There’s a little bit of deja vu all over again in this,” he said.
Frank Libby, who was out trying to find newspapers in Boston Sunday morning, said it seems every few days the city is getting slammed with another foot of snow.
“It’s historic. It’s biblical,” the 62-year-old attorney said as he walked down a deserted street in the city’s Back Bay neighborhood. “I think we’re in uncharted territory. People just don’t know how to deal with the logistics of it.”
He had one message for Mother Nature: “Give us a break.”
One house of worship, the Union United Methodist Church in Boston, canceled Sunday services and instead was holding a prayer call via telephone.
Transportation officials in the region had taken precautions. Nearly 400 Sunday flights were canceled at Boston’s Logan International Airport, and none was scheduled Sunday morning. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority canceled all rail, bus and ferry service in the Boston area on Sunday.
Babcock said gusts could max out at 75 mph – hurricane territory – on Cape Cod. Officials warned of possible power outages, and north-facing or vulnerable coastal areas could suffer flooding and beach erosion, the weather service said.
Ahead of the storm, forces gathered to remove piles of snow and ready for the next round. More than 6 feet of snow was already standing in some areas near Boston from previous storms.
Massachusetts called up hundreds of National Guard troops to assist with snow removal, and the Hanscom Air Force base outside Boston became a staging area for heavy equipment pouring in from eight other Northeast states to help in the effort.
Crews worked in Boston’s Financial District to remove the massive amounts of snow that clogged streets and triggered numerous roof collapses.
The bad weather spanned several states – winter storm warnings extended west into Michigan and Ohio, where whiteout conditions led to a pileup on the Ohio Turnpike that killed at least two people. Another storm-related crash on the New York Thruway south of Buffalo killed one person.

We're barely making to 20, in NYC, today. IMO, the football season needs to be pushed forward. Sundays in February are brutal.

I love when people say stuff like this. ::) I lived in California for 1 year and absolutely hated the weather. It sucked.
I love Northeast weather, and winter is my favorite season.
How does SoCal. Weather suck?
