Um, if there's snow outside...  In the winter at least, doesn't work so well in a hurricane. |

We keep a few empty coffee containers in the bottom of the freezer full of ice to help preserve the cold in the event of a power outage. Not a problem in the winter when the temp is below freezing.

And toilet paper. Why toilet paper? Are they going to go any more in the storm than normal? |

Took me two hours with a snowblower to clean it all out. And I did not clean off the car because it is inoperable (I take the bus to get around as the car needs work).
I cleared out both driveways on my duplex and the mailbox cluster. My mother helped with a shovel but I did the bulk of the work. I don't want my mother to overwork herself with the shovel as she is a woman over 50 (that statistically are at greater risk of a heart attack). Men over 40 are at higher risk of heart attacks and I'm going to be 30 in October. I need to watch out as I am overweight.
I let the snowblower do the bulk of the work.

said by ame101:Do NOT want to dig cars out. It makes a huge difference whether that snow fell onto an already cold (well below freezing) car or whether the initial snow was first melting and subsequently freezing to put the car into an ice cocoon.
Hands up everybody who has ever cleared snow of a car only to discover part way through that it wasn't their own car they were clearing ? (Been there, done that). Of course that also worked once in my favor when I found my car more then halfway dug out of the snow in the morning

I am so done with snow. It was awesome until I realized I had 5 FOOT drifts to deal with on the steep part of my driveway. Nevertheless, Incredible that I never got stuck after all that.. and I had no wheel weights, no chains, and no tire ballast. It slipped a few times while trying to get those ridiculous drifts... Amazing that it only slipped those couple of times really...  |

This is how it looked after two hours of wrangling a snowblower through 2 feet of snow and two hours of my time.
The secret for cleaning the stuff that the city leaves behind (courtesy of the snowplow) is to get it right after the snowplow comes. If you wait, it'll freeze.
The picture of the snowblower is from last spring. Even though it is small, it did the trick.

I watched that whole video. It was oddly mesmerizing. That sucks though. I think I got maybe an inch and it pretty much melted off my driveway today. My snow blower is still buried in the back of my garage. Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow so we've been lucky. |

HAHA! I know the "feel" bro!
I used to be all excited about using my snow blower until we got our Nor'easter in December.
What's with the black bars shaking up&down your video? |

I let YouTube "fix" the shakiness of my video. That was the result. I'm having it rerendered to remove that "fix" as it just looks like hell with those moving black bars. |
