About 3 " here, no biggie. Problem is it covers up the ice, which I then find the hard way, forcing me to try some funky dance moves......

  Not exactly a snow rant, but my next door neighbor, Mark had an issue with his house last night. He and I swap snow removal for the sidewalks that belong to the "city". He rents the bottom half of a house, and has been there for years. The upper half has been vacant for 3 years. Last night, about 5:00, we noticed that water was pouring down the outside of his house, and freezing into a huge lake right by his back door. It must be a frozen pipe in the upper apartment.  Mark is a bar babysitter, so we tried to get in touch with him where he does adult daycare (bar tending). We left messages, and he suddenly came home, and was there, working with his landlord until around 11:00 last night. There is a ServiceMaster truck and a plumber here, right now. It wasn't even that cold when it happened...only -4. It's warming up, here. I'm going out for a walk in a little while...it's +2 right now, and the sun is out!  maybe I will take a pic or 2 of our new skating rink before someone shows up to go ice fishing in it!

8) ok so I have a snow blower, Toro, 924, nice machine, just paid $300.00 to have it repaired, enough said about that, even though it was not my fault. So I have a shared driveway, retired couple living next door to me, he is really old and she is up there too, they are really old like DC, then on the other side is a single lady who is a PSW who works odd hours with her client base.

They may be really old like me, but they need to get on the stick with the snow removal.  I just use my the front loader on my tractor.  Makes quick work of things.

I have one neighbor that believes everyone should be willing to lend him whatever tools and machines he wants.  We already had this discussion that, as a policy, I do not lend things out.  It keeps things simpler when something breaks down, why did it break, who's fault was it, and who pays to fix it.  And I certainly would not be lending out my tractor for someone to get themselves in trouble with.  If we got some serious snow that the neighbors blowers couldn't handle, I have no problem digging any of them out with my front loader, or sending some wives over to shovel the sidewalks.

Down here people have LEAF blowers,

My wifes brother uses a leaf blower to clear his driveway and sidewalk of snow. Says it works good unless you get a big dump of snow; couldn't use one here, it would get buried in snow!

We get a bit of snow but it is always washed away by the rain..

We get a couple of days of sunshine every year as well, but that is washed away by the rain as well..

Did I mention that we get rain..
