spaceace12 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 In Indiana we finally got a descent amount of snow. They originally predicted 3-5 inches north of my area and more south. Monday the snow started, we got around 3 inches. Yesterday the snow started back up around noon, and we quickly got 2 inches. I woke up this morning....10 inches of snow. They cancelled school for tomorrow already. Anyway, onto the photos. Starting alittle late into the snow clearing, I had already cleared part of my parking spots and my moms car. A nice little snow pile coming here. Trash can shows how many inches we got. Big snow pile at the beg. My car still burried, I cleared up to the footsteps in the foreground. Yeah Almost done with parking area. Snow pile got bigger. Had to put the snow someplace else. Car is cleared off and running now. A path to the car is nice also. Problem, 10 inches of snow behind my car with more piled up beside the road. Do I move it or just floor it out Clear it. I am free. Car in parking spot, like my new hubcaps, they melted off later. Former parking spot. I did get stuck trying to turn around in my uncleared road. Of course this doesn't help though. I need new tires. Fun fact about snow. Ever notice that it is quieter when snow happens, that is because snow is filled with air.
Philrad71 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Wait a second...you have SUN???? Tomorrow I will post some pics of the snowstorm we got today in Western New York...I can no longer see my mailbox at the bottom of the driveway (buried) and it is STILL sneauxing! Got stuck in the bottom of the driveway when I got home from work (fun), plowed the driveway, then shoveled out the car. There has been close to four more inches of wet snow accumulation since 2:00 PM. Now all of this is not just from this one storm mind you, but we have not seen the grass since early November! Ahhh...the joys of Lake Effect Snow here in Western New York. I need a theme park vacation...soon!
spaceace12 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 This amount of snow is realitevly a lot for us around here, I heard it is the most snow in one day since the 90's.
Carnage Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Fun fact about snow. Ever notice that it is quieter when snow happens, that is because snow is filled with air. What??
spaceace12 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Snow makes things quieter because the air pockets in fresh snow absorb and trap sound waves. But ambient noise returns when surface snow hardens and begins to reflect more sound. In places where there is really hard snow, the icy surface will actually cause noise to travel farther. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/forcesofnature/snow-facts.html[/u]
alomar Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I want snow!!!! Too bad its in the 60-07 degree range here.
spaceace12 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Tomorrow, Round 2! a 100 foot long, 15 foot wide driveway! No snowblower, truck with blade or anything! Just my friend, me and two shovels!
Kennyweird Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Yesterday the Monroeville salt trucks fought the ice...and the ice won. Which meant no school for me.
SonOfBeastSucks Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I hate shoveling snow. Thankfully I usually only have to do it for a few minutes before my neighbors feel bad enough for me that they walk over with their snowblowers. My driveway is on an incline though, so its always a pain getting my car up and into the garage whenver there is any snow or ice.
spaceace12 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 I am 3-0! Yeah. Today was a big job, a 100 foot long driveway. Look at what I am up against. Half done! Still getting used to my cell phone (the finger pic), takes descent pictures though. ugg, it has to be done. Up until last year, grandparents went to Florida for winter and they have a rear wheel drive car. The end of the drive is snow plowed in, had to chop it up. Did have help today though. Done! After we did this drive, we did one for an older person in town.
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 We had a snow storm the other day here in Clementon, NJ. I had to clean off my car & shovel a clear path in my backyard for my dogs.
WFChris Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I'm jealous of all that space you have! I was not so lucky, except of course I did not have a driveway to clear. I just had the snow-then-rain ice solid berm behind the truck to chip away at. Yes, it snows in California!
dino Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Wow I feel like such a jerk looking at these pictures. I was actually complaining today cause it's been so warm lately.
Hotlanta Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Damn living in the deep south i would kill for snow like that. I love snow blasts like this.
