Thread: SOCAL & WSW Weather

Tweet

Well my area just had another ho-hum snow 'event'. The Weather Channel and the locals all predicted a huge dump here. Well we didn't get it. Maybe 6" which in past years would have been a snow squall. Some areas South of here did get a bunch, but the only bad part of ours is the wind. After I finally got the tractor going (summer blend diesel fuel) it took about 20 minutes to do the drive.

Oh well - off to 'fuss' with a couple of things on my car

Dave we understand today you are getting hammered by storms...?

Not sure how bad Dave caught it, but, over my way (So.eastern Mass) we caught it pretty good. It snowed, then rained, now frozen! 15 degrees right now. If you didn't clear the mess yesterday, then it's just a block of ice now! We only had 6 or 8 inches but the town just north of us got 18 inches!

I'm glad I cleaned off the daily driver as there's no way you'd be opening those doors today! My 1970 Cub Cadet w\plow dug me out once again! My wife freaks out if I pick up a snow shovel since the heart attack 2 years ago....

Everything that was really bad from this storm hit South and East of my part of Upstate NY. My daughter and her family are headed back to New Jersey where they have a couple of feet in their driveway - which is the same thing that happened to them last year. The local shopping centers do have some pretty big piles of snow, but nothing worse then normal for the end of Dec. Then there was that storm a couple years ago - we had over 3 feet, and that one actually slowed my tractor to a slow snails pace. The fun thing with lots of snow - it gives me a chance to play with my DD, an F350 4x4

Hope everyones all ok

Hope all is well with everyone else, we haven`t heard from some of our friends here on site, we started getting hammered again, tonight and tomorrow, so in a couple of days the rest of you guys / gals will feel it.

You really make us here on the Right Coast feel good with that kinda news. At least we'll have a few days of OK weather Of the 6" of snow we got, about 50% of it disappeared today with the temps in the mid thirties - which means that I can see my lawn in places again

I even worked on my car for about an hour today
