My mom just went out and measured the snow on the picnic table in our backyard. We got 4 inches so far, and its still coming down at a really good rate.

| NOT TODAY!!!
My two stage ariens stopped working.
The handle that I press to drive forward or reverse is all loose.
Right before that it would engage the wheels as soon as I touched it, now it's loose, has no resistance at all.
Not good. |

All I've got is a shovel and a bad back.  |

1 edit | I got the snowblower fixed.
There was a pin that came loose holding the assembly together.
So now when I push down on the lever it moves this big rod into a thing with a spring to engage the gears.
WOOT!
Finished the neighbors driveway, helped another one, and then did a final sweep of ours. |

I didn't get to mine today either. Trying to decide if I even want too. The forecast shows upper 30's low 40's for the next 10 days. It'll be gone in a few days. |

God bless my neighbor who came by with his snowblower tonight to do my front sidewalk, as usual.

Lake Zurich, IL | I "worked" from home today, so I was able to get out 3 times and clear the driveway and sidewalk. On the last trip the plow had come past and deposited a nice pile in the driveway, but the beast gnawed through it just fine.
There's 5-6" of accumulation on the patio furniture on the deck, and a fair amount of drifting nastiness. Fortunately not getting very cold tonight... nothing worse than frozen packed slush to make the commute an adventure. |

Looked out my window this morning and saw the mailbox I put up this past summer on the ground. I was pissed. Post and brackets were at least still in place though. Ran out a while ago and when I got home, two guys in a Dupage public works truck were bolting a shiny new mailbox to the post. Nice |
