OT:Snow, snowblowers, etc.

Csonni, I looked at that picture yesterday. I was too shocked too comment. I looked again today. Ok, now I can comment:  Oy.  

Harv, we've got the same forecast. I don't know what will be worse--the floods, or what happens when it gets cold a day or so later. If we get floods followed by ice, and I'm going to start looking for locusts and the rest of the plagues.

These photos were taken on 40 acres of good Iowa bottomland that belonged to a lovely lady I was engaged to a few years ago.
I had bought this great old Farmall tractor with a hydraulic snow blade in anticipation of a big storm and I couldn't wait to try out on this stuff.

Well, I can't compete with csonni in the sheer quantity department, but how's this for a small pile of the white stuff? That's my 7 year old on top - and yes, the top of the pile really is level with the eaves of the garage. On the downhill side it's about 12-15' high. It will probably still be there in June!!!

When the engagement didn't work out, I bought my present home and gave the tracktor to a buddy in town that does snow removal. Never have had to shovel my driveway, and I have a BIG driveway...He's always there unless the ex-mayor next door does it first with one of his tractors. He has some old ones also.

I don't remember what model. It had the single row "pidgeon-toe" front wheels.  "H" ?

Here's my Dad, Bobun, who is well into his ninth decade. He emailed me these pics with the adage,
"Know your limitations and learn to live within them".

Good advice.

In the beginning...

One more.

Reliable sources report this to be a picture from last week's blizzard, taken in Pendragon's back "acreage", deep in the hills of Maryland . . .

Do I understand correctly that that's Bernie enjoying a...uhmmm... restful moment there in Harv's "facilities"?

Well we didn't get more snow this weekend, but we had some monster rain yesteday. The kind that makes you look for the guy building an Ark who's rounding up pairs of animals.     Add that to temps above 32 degrees, and well, you can imagine the amount of water around here.

Rob's  right, we are floating high and the sump pumps are earning their keep. Then there was the fog.
For only the second time in history, the NJ Turnpike was closed it's full length due to the weather. (Last time was the 96 blizzard).

One positive spin, the reservoirs are full.
Last summer's drought is a statistic.
