15 inches of snow predicated here tonight through Sunday morning with
blizzard conditions.
Mrs. E. leaving for Norfolk this morning. I am staying to ride out the
storm, plow the driveway, then drive to Norfolk myself next week to
deliver a Harley Fatboy.

I am watching the last of the fog burn off, to be a 70 degree day. Going
to pressure wash the back wall, so I can paint it before the Trex for the
deck is delivered Tuesday.


Thanks a lot.

Weather guessers now say more like 18+" on the southeast coast between
Boston and the Upper Cape.
Wonderful.

Let me say it before Tom does: Pansy ;-)

DC is supposed to get only 8-12 inches. It's sticking to the trees now, so
tomorrow should be pretty. Fixed a big pot of stew, got the fire going,
good to go all day tomorrow with the Olympics.

I have a JD tractor with a loader bucket, but it's a pain to clear the
driveway because you can't plow the snow to one side. You have to plow a
big pile of snow, then stop and pick it up with the loader and dump it off
to the side. I ordered a plow attachment, but it won't be in until the
middle of next week - too late for this storm. My driveway is long ....
comes in from the road, divides to go both ways around the horse barn and up
to the house. Total of about 1600-1800 feet by 15-20 feet wide I would
guess, maybe more. That's a lot of snow to move if there is close to 2 feet
of it.

You need a two stage blower, not a plow. A big one. Or a blower and a
plow. And a jeep with chains.

Actually, when I bought the tractor I also bought a big ass snow blower for
it that is powered off of the front PTO. I used it once. It is such a pain
in the rear to remove the loader bucket and hook up the snow blower
attachment that it just isn't worth it. The rear attachments (back hoe,
bush hog, etc. are relatively easy to change, but the loader isn't. I use
the loader all the time for lifting anything heavy, so leaving the blower on
for the winter really isn't an option. The blower was a mistake.

Heh. I'd rather watch it melt.

We used to get it plowed but I told Mrs.E that I could handle it (justified
the new plow toy, you know) ,so she cancelled the plowing service

I just waited too long to order it.

Just so youse can appreciate my misery, I posted an aerial view of my
driveway "over there".

Probably not as long as I first guessed, but still over a 1000 feet to
clear. Someday I'll measure it.
