DMV plowed all right, made a 5'high wall of packed snow at the T intersection at the beginning of my street. Wouldn't be getting a car out for a week but power co. crew in a giant cherry picker 25' long truck came up the road, took a good look, decided against backing down 4 miles to the interstate, got up a good head of steam and BOOM busted through it. DMV 0 Central VA Electric 1.

i just realized i was an idiot and put out my recycling friday night and they didn't pick it up and now it's buried under 2 ft of snow + plowed snow + soon to be another foot of snow = i am never getting it out

Welcome to ultimate snow season, we're getting another 5-8" here. I was going to wait to clean my driveway, but I could only get my car halfway up it. Then I ended up destroying one of the pins in my snowblower and had to replace it. Good times.

anyone ever mess around with any of those ergonomically-designed snow shovels with the curved handle (Fig. A), or the ones that rest on a huge wheel so it's like a big rolling scooping lever (Fig. B), or the plow-y ones with a bar on each side of the shovel so it looks like a lawnmower (Fig. C)? if i had a driveway or something i think i might wanna upgrade, but as it is i only have to shovel the sidewalk in front of my townhouse and a little path to the back gate. i pride myself on my quickness and i think a fancier shovel might just slow me down.

Fig. C why can't you be more like Figs. A and B
figure A are good but B and C i don't understand
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link
seems like B would reduce strain to your back by giving you this portable fulcrum that you can just push down on to lift and then just swivel over to the side to dispense, whereas C appears to involves absolutely no back strain at all, but i'm not sure how you would clear the spade of its snowload.
this is what midwestern VFW hall patrons discuss once football season's over, isn't it
― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:02 (fourteen years ago) link
sometimes you need to throw snow further away so not being able to lift seems bad
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:17 (fourteen years ago) link
you should get an A, iiiijjjj. B and C are for people who have a lot of newfangled gadgets
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:20 (fourteen years ago) link

did u guys hear the thunder early sat morning? i did! they said that means snow can fall up to 4 in/hr and it might happen again tonight
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link
thunder only happens when it's raining

Thundersnow is rad imo

― am0n, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i know it's called thundersnow but i don't like that because when thunder happens when it's raining it's not called thunderrain
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:49 (fourteen years ago) link
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
its called a thunderstorm when its rain
― am0n, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
it should be called a thunderstorm when it snows also then, because it is a snow storm
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link
nope
― am0n, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link
harbl--when it rains, its called a "thunderstorm," when it snows, its called "thundersnow"
― max, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link
that's just not logical ok
