Winter Blizzard in NewEngland

I live here in CT & a Blizzard just came thru friday into Saturday morning. I got about 40" of snow.Of coarse not all cars are lucky enough to be inside. Some are out side with cover on them.I have a pic of my 40 willys sedan &66 fairlane GT with about 3 feet of snow on them. How I wish I had a hudge barn for all my rides!

If anyone else has their cars outside & got covered in the last snowstorm ,lets see the pics! I can`t be the only one.

 

66 fairlane GT pic wont upload.

 

ohh, that white lump wasn't it?

 

No pics but my 50 chevy pickup is under a tarp and 3 feet of snow, the 39 buick is under
a carport but still snowed in. Spent day and a 1/2 shoveling out, then drove over to the
girlfriends to dig her out. 6 feet of snow at the end of her driveway, then about 4 feet
deep till her door- she was trapped inside. Hope the rain tomorrow does not turn it all
into ice. Jim

 

"How I wish I had a hudge barn for all my rides!"

What's a "hudge" barn? Never heard that before.

 

Reminds me of how happy I am not to live in that part of the world any more.

 

It's like a huge barn, only with an extra "d" for good measure.

 

Oh. That makes sense, I think.

 

I spent about two hours digging the walk to the driveway and roughly half of my wife's car Saturday. Sunday, I started at 0900 and, after finishing her car and the rest of the driveway, dug out my car and helped a neighbor finish digging out her car. I finished about 1540 (3:40 pm). Tad sore tonight. The two plow guys at our place have been doing 12 - 14 hour days trying to get the main driveways open. The are still at it at this hour (2141 or 9:41 pm) pushing back the edges, pushing back mounds of snow and clearing out all of the dumpster areas. And people here are still bitching about the lousy job they are doing. These are the same ones who sit on their asses until just before they have to go somewhere, shovel their driveway out into the main driveway, back their car out into the main, then clear the snow off of it in the main driveway. Harumph!

 

Only got 22 inches here but the skiing was incredible. Plowed the driveway friday night, sat morning early and did the final cleanup sun morning. The poor 57f100 is buried in the backyard till spring. Had an awesome weekend though!

 

Im totally sore all over from shoveling & pushing a snowblower for the last 2 days. Today I`m going to remove the snow from the cars left outside. Its raining & icey as hell. Oh ,that lump in my pic is the Willys. I took the pic from the roof. Now there talking of another storm this saturday nite!

 

Snow is why I have a tractor and a blade.Everybody in this area has one because sometime's if it snow's you can never get out !!!!

 

I would love a tractor,but that takes away from car money! I just have to deal & make the best of it like every1 else.

 

Man I am sorry you got to deal with that....but I am not mad it hit the north....hell didnt even rain here

 

Let's put this in perspective. I'm 62 and haven't seen 40" of snow in my whole life even if you added all I've seen together.

 

It's winter.
It's snow.
big deal.

 

We had between 22" and 27" where I am on the Island. Usually anything 12" and less is no big deal. This crap was wet underneath especially where it puddled up from the earlier rain.

We went outside to deal with the mess, my wife looked at me and said, "we need to invest in a small tractor and plow.". Which may not be a bad idea. If any of us had a real medical emergency, we couldn't get out and help coundn't get in.

With the unpredictable winters and hurricanes, gettin' so that almost everyone needs a generator and at least a snowblower.

For those of us that have had heart attacks already and don't relish the idea of another one, 24" inches of snow in one shot is a big deal.

 

anybody have any kids knock on your door, looking to make some money shoveling?
we did it, way back when.

 

i wont have to send i pic just look at the white screen below.

 

We only got around 8" of the white stuff. Today they said that we would have a dusting and it's been snowing all day. Roads were very slippery on my way home from work.

 

i be near hartford got like 30 plus inches

 

you be styli'n yo!

 

when i was a kid thats all I did rake leaves, shovel snow (i had reg customers from my paper routes (more than 1) anything to get money .when snow storms hit and no school I was rich. I seem to recall 200$ one storm and that was in the 70s

 

Spent 3 hours yesterday digging out my house and driveway, and 4 hour today digging out my building and parking lot. Daughter had a stomach bug last week, then wife got it, sick all night, and now I feel like shit....

OH SHIT!!! DAMMIT!!! That was NOT a fart!!!!

This thread reminds me of all the things I should be thankful for:

1. Hudge barn
2. Tractor
3. Not 40" snow

 

Ha Ha. Heard that!

 

Here's what I think bout winter

 

We're having another mild winter in Spokane. Climate change has been kind to us

 

hudge barn is actually used to house a hudson-dodge vehicle collection.
what he meant was a forlly barn
