I recieved notification from Scale Rib Stitching that my order has been shipped! I should have it in a few more days and boy am I ready.[img][/img] Speaking of ready, we are expecting a major snow storm today with total accumulations of around TWO FEET with strong wind gusts. Oh nooooooooooooooo.
The word of the storm heading your way is all over our news. Be safe!

OMG, The snow continues to fall. I just went out to snowblow my driveway and I was just able to get through. Two feet and it's not over. Wind gusting over 50 miles per hour which makes hugh snow drifts to contend with. The snow drifts are past the sill of the window on one side of my house. Though it could have been worse. I could have lost my power... Thank the Lord for that! I will take some photos for you to see when there is some light.

At first glance the first photo may look just like some snow that accumulated on the window's ledge, not! That's the snow level... Second photo shows the patio table and mind you that's the snow the wind didn't blow away! The third shot is of my back door, I can't get out that way....

Out "west" the official snowfall was 3", but I cleared 5" from my drive. We only had half the storm, though,. You guys got the full thing.

Good luck to you, and all forum members, who live in the Northeast.

Glad to hear you have power,
That storm reminds me of the blizzard of 78 we had here in Ohio. We had a snow drift that went all the way up onto the roof of our house. I was just a kid then and really enjoyed being out of school for 2 weeks and playing with my Alaskan Malamute in the snow:D.

Later!!

It's funny, my tractor and my DA-120 powered AJSlick have about the same power and are about the same size. Guess which one I will be using today? <div>https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...83443975_n.jpg</div>

Snow blowers are the way to go on today's snow. Tom I'll bet old orange got a workout! I don't know what I would do if I didn't have mine. I even did my neighbors driveway this morning (at 5:30), the fact that she's a good looking single woman never entered my mind http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gif....

Ya, Big Orange has been getting a good workout all Winter, but she hasn't seen anything like what you guys have.

I'm assuming that ghoffman is going flying. All he has to do is rotate his wheel pants and use them as skiis. :D

Exactly, I will just do low harriers up and down the driveway to blow it away!

I am obviously not deep enough into this hobby as I don't have any airplanes stored in the garage with my car outside in the snow yet. I need to work faster. :)

After reading your post, I took these pics of my garage/shop and my truck.

It has something to do with priorities. :D

Sorry Guys!

Never seen that white stuff in my yard.

I have a yellow yard tool, but it is flatter and picks up grass.

Here are the conditions I am dealing with!

Well then you must hate Florida as well. Mid 70's and sun, day after day, after day, after day, after day!

Well, Vinnie has seen me fly and he knows I spend more time in knife edge flight than I ever do wings level.  So, instead of the John Deere, I used the AJSlick to clear the driveway.  I cleaned the cars by hovering over them, then blew the driveway clean with many low harriers.  It was kinda mushy looking on the edges, so a few KE passes cleaned it up!<div>http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ps39274038.jpg</div><div>http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psbb4cdeb9.jpg</div>
