I'm in central pa and they (local weatherman) said 3-4 but we got 1/4 inch so maby we missed it. I usually keep changing the channel until I find a forecast I like.

We got it pretty bad last 2 days in Canada Greater Toronto Area. Landlord shoveled the walkway 3 times yesterday and I shovelled it once after 8pm when it finally stopped. Pretty much between 1ft & 2ft of snow. Still after I dug out last night my brother and I went for a snow run to get wings Hit a side street barely plowed so I floored it and luckily I got to the other main road. Good wings...

Sound like you were having fun Ray,
Wings sound good to.
We got about 2" and it's melting already.
Hey do you have any buggies to run in the snow ?
I was looking at buying one of these to run on days like this. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=23846

24" here 30 mins from boston.
I have a summit and run it in the snow. It does very well

That was fun! Got in my plow 2:30 Thursday night, finished at 1:00 this afternoon (Saturday), did get home for dinner and a shower last night at least. Now we start snow removal Sunday.
Need to decide what to buy and how many of them I want! Made a butt load of money the last couple days!
Probably a ballpark 20 000$ bill for the board of ed! Unfortunately have to pay the crew and cover expenses before I get my cut, Friday I burned 128$ in fuel, 137km on the trip odometer! How that for mileage! That truck usually gets 2km/L working! Got just over 1km/L plowing this storm.
I bill removal @ 75$/hr per piece of equipment, that will be added to the 20 000$ in plowing.
White gold falling from the sky!

Hey,
That is nice when that happens,
And you had a safe trip and made cash to.

Casualty list for the entire storm was one no parking sign, so that makes me really happy. No Repairs!
To be honest it's been a pretty lean winter for plowing, been mostly spreading salt on 1-1.5" snows.
Look after all 24 public elementary and high schools + the high schools for the Catholic board.
Next year is the last year for the contract, 3 year terms.
Usually P.O. my friends during the winter hoping for foul weather.

I'm glad you were able to make some money this winter. Hopefully there will be more work for you yet.

I'd rather not have any but, we do need it for the ground anyway. More snow means more nitrogen in my garden soil.

It's almost time to start germinating Pepper seeds as they take so long...

Hi Ray! Haven't decided what I'm planting this year, need to decide soon as well, short growing season I like to put some plants outside very well established. Not so many worries with frost in the fell then.
Putting in a berry patch for sure. Have been talking about it for long enough it's going to happen!
Dogs ate most of my heritage tomatoes last year! Rotten heathens! The boy steals and eats pumpkins of all things as well....
