It was heavy, wet snow and each shovel full weighed about 12 pounds! Add to the fact that the piles got so high you had to walk the shovel full over to an un-piled area, damn I was sore by noon on Monday! Well, on the bright side you got a fabulous workout.

Brigante Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Appalling weather here - cloudless, sunny sky and mild as fook. It's mid-March, but the weather's like the end of April. In Yorkshire?! FFS. October can't come quickly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was horrible to go through though. The city didn't even run a plow through our street till Tuesday morning at 0150AM!! And even then, it was only one swath so if cars are coming from opposite directions, one of them is screwed. I also lost 4 HUGE tree branches due to the heavy snow (each over 20 feet long) and so when/if the snow melts enough, I have that work to do too! To make matters worse, next week we can expect rain/snow from Sunday night through Wed morning and temps at 15 to 20 degrees below normal! And people wonder why I can't wait for that global warming to kick in....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel you Stryder, I remember back in the 90's I forget exactly what year in the 90's it was, but I still remember the month and day April 20th we got a blizzard here in Jersey where they had to shutdown the major highways, the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway and I was traveling on the Parkway when they made the decision to shut it down, it was hell getting home and my heart was in my hands, we are talking a blizzard in spring, cars were buried you couldn't even see them, Unbelievable.

Stryder1978 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 We get a break on Saturday with a high around 57 degrees, but Sunday through Wednesday 2-4 more inches of heavy, wet snow.....SIGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We got lucky last night. It snowed for six hours, but the streets and sidewalks were warm enough that only a trace accumulated. We have two more chances for snow this week. Spent the weekend shoveling and cutting broken tree/ tree branches from last weekend's storm.

rm2551 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Non stop rain for 3 days. Just got another alert (sms) that this arvo thunderstorms are expected. The front and back yards are flooded, the carport has rivulettes running through it. Drainage is struggling to cope, and all the doors are hard to close for being swollen by the moisture. ....and it continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm2551 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 3 days of sun. Saturday now and the lawns are 3/4 done. Just breaking for lunch. Will run a fire tonight and murder a few blunts with some Nights with Alice Cooper playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Spent 8.5 hours cutting up tree limbs from our blizzard two weeks ago. Today it's supposed to be in the upper 60's. Tonight, snow and a high of 36 tomorrow...SIGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Nothing but sun so far, I'm hoping it won't rain, but who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 It's absolutely vile, here. It's March. It should be cloudy, cold and raining. But no, the sun's out in a bright blue, cloudless sky. It's 20 degrees and threatening to be higher tomorrow. WTF?! Every asshole in a five-minute radius is out in their garden making a goddamned racket and I'm sat in with the windows shut and a killing tension headache from listening to em. October can't come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Glorious. Played golf in 22 degrees c yesterday and it is the same today. Mrs CP's turn for a round. I think I will paint the shed and do the lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
