....went out last night for ~~bread and milk~~ 12 of Sam Adam's hopscape. Should be good for a day or two.

Bring on the snowpocalypse.

It's good to be a non-essential employee today since those bastards at Enterprise sold my Escape out from under me. That thing was a beast in our last snow storm, Traded it in yesterday for a Maxima. Other than being reasonably quick, I'm really not all that impressed so far. Prolly go trade it for another Escape soon or maybe a Tuscon.

My wife has an Altima which is basically the same chassis and body type as a Maxima. It's a good car in dry and wet conditions, gets great milage and we drive my Honda Pilot when things get nasty in the winter.

Ah the "joy" of driving in winter back in CNY. It really helped when front wheel drive came into common use.

No it's not. The Altima is a mid-size, the Maxima is a full-size.

Our idiot governor calls this a state of emergency.

Your governor is concerned with what happens south of Yonkers. Those folks are getting hammered pretty good. You peasants to the U&L really don't matter.

And get some replacement windows for your hovel, for christ's sake.

Yeah, the Maxima is quite a bit bigger. I was surprised how long the trunk was. Your Mafioso inlaws would appreciate a trunk like that. Best trunk for stuffing bodies in since the '73 fleetwood.

That's rich. Is that deck finished? ;)

Just bought the place in November. I think first up on my to do list is to get a tree guy to take care of the maple tree out front. I need to have it trimmed right before the power company comes out and hacks it up.

We get our snow on the back end of the storm. By 8PM it should be coming in at an inch an hour. But what the hell why not close schools today too?

I thought you guys that have lived there for years would have media translation skills:

Less than 4 inches of snow = rain

6-8 inches of snow = sleet/ freezing rain

8-12 inches of snow = a dusting

And for anything more subtract a foot from their forecast

Hell just living up there for two years forced me to learn that translation.

Current view out the living room window. Really tough to tell depth as it is blowing everywhere. I would guess around 10 inches.

If I've got Pliny the Elder I'm not burying it on my driveway.

I gave up shoveling for Lent. This guy will be back two more times before it's over. Worth every penny of the $250 a year he charges.

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:13 am**

Rochester can get 100 to 120 inches of snow a year. I'm not paying so much for snow removal as I am paying for the certainty that the snow will get removed no matter what condition I am in or where I am.

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:37 am**

It must suck to be a firefighter getting a call to a house fire when the conditions are like this...

Sorry, B, but according to the official T1B officiating guide, that was not a GD post. It was adding a comment to a photo previously posted in the same thread.

The ruling on the field is overturned. Diego will not be charged a timeout.

You haven't seen my sidewalks. I shovel those. They're about the size of a normal city driveway.

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:07 pm**

This was before I shoveled the walks in the morning today. There's about 70 feet of them.

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:58 pm**

So what's the guy in the Bobcat clearing?

BTW, I don't shovel. I use one of my two snow-blowers.

The guy in the Bobcat is clearing the driveway. The driveway is about 200 ft long. I have a snow blower but I'd prefer not. It is impossible to take a picture of the entire driveway but here's one minus about 40 feet.

How are you Sam?

We have survived Stella... all sidewalks (downside to living on a corner lot), walkway and driveway are cleared of 30+ inches of snow. Now we have just have a nice breeze coming through for a few more hours to blow the snow back onto the aforementioned cleared areas.

See you all in couple more years!

Yore pail,

Where do you keep your extension cords?

There is a work area in the garage. I know, keeping extension cords indoors. Crazy.

Posted: **Wed Mar 15, 2017 10:40 pm**

Main road going from Downtown to the West Side.

Creek down the street from my house just went over its banks, but I think the rain is ending.

This has been the shittiest winter in recent memory.

Good looking piece of land there Bri

It is a damn nice looking lot. Doesn't look like the same neighborhood you see in earlier pic which shows very modest old small houses on small city lots.

Yeah that's the view out of the front window. Fortunately the back is completely different. The house isn't huge, but it is set up rather well for an old ranch house.
