IT'S finally happened it's snowing here in Philadelphia Pa.
Got our first in Virginia, same storm heading your way. Enjoy.
We got our first dusting last week with another dusting today. Still waiting on a good heavy snow, gotta get my money's worth out of the snowblower I bought a couple years ago.
You do know that now you have a snow blower you won't get any. :pQuote:

Sometimes, just sometimes I miss it.
For a quick reminder.... Go stick your head in the freezer for a few minutes!Quote:

I had the same thing for 64 years Frank. But hey as you know it isnt always balmy down here either.Quote:

I had to resort to pulling into one of those run down gated comunities along the river and pulling a few nice

the snow and trying to earn enough to pay the landscapers.
Nelson,
Your second snow of the year is only a day away!
For here in SE Pa/Md theyre now calling for 12-24" between tomorrow afternoon and Sunday morning. Also included is 60mph wind gusts!
looks like a good weekend to catch up on some reloading!
My thoughts exactly. Ive gotta put a couples scopes on, and put a rifle together.....and hopefully load some as well.....

It sounds like the snow blower chorus around here this morning.Quote:

Hummm...that Mod 70 in your safe would be a nice down payment to start !:p

Hey northern friends in PA, Md, De, etc. more coming your way getting an inch an hour in central Virginia.
Were looking at 2 feet here in Quakertown as of 5:00 pm. It's still coming down.
It started slacking off about 5 or so up this way. According to WGAL it set a new record for the valley, 28.6", 3.6 more than 1983.Quote:

A friend from Marietta just called and he said 30" at Harrisburg airport.
their claiming 30" here.
The latest total at HBG airport was 30.2".
I just got done with the forth cleanup, three yesterday to beat it down and today to finish it. Last evening they opened our street with a front end loader building their version of the Great Wall of China on the end of my driveway.:p
Bill
Youve obviously made some great friends there Bill.
Have you been voicing your displeasures at any commissioners meetings lately?
Maybe it was all a miscomunication which was meant as, Dont forget to plow Bills driveway? lol
Just put 40 hours in the plow truck since Friday afternoon. 40 inches here in Somerset PA and 40 mile per hour winds.
Not an easy job, especially with the high winds its easy to become disoriented.Quote:
