Plowed/snowblowered/shoveled 3 times (my house, aunt's and cousin's)and there's already over an inch on it again. Breaktime. Easily 15" and coming down at least an inch an hour.

And Mike, maybe it was Noah :rofl:

I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been!

amen i just got my car out at 10:34am let it heat up had a nice clear driveway, as i was driving out the driveway who i see coming with a simle on his face he plowed me in again oo man was i piss and when i got home my driveway was plowed in again :evil:. i live on a dead end street with islands in the middle he can't aim it to the islands -.- like wtf man I'm about to push all the snow in the street wet it down and hope it turns to ice so when he hits it boom hahah.

You are slacking at the shoveling.

Wasn't me this time. :lol: Usually I DO plow Poet's Peak, but I'm going in at 9 tonight, driving a big rig, plowing all the main roads in Kenvil/Succasunna.

I can't tell you how many times people have thrown broken shovels at my truck because I plowed them back in. It keeps me awake, and gives me a laugh. The best is when they JUST finish shoveling hahahahahahahaha sorry Mike :lol: But really, if it's someone i know, I try to kick the snow away from their driveway entrances.

JL8Jeff 02-10-2010 06:38 PM

I just saw some bright blue flashing behind us and could hear the loud buuuuuzzzzzz noise. Probably some branches hitting the wires.

sweetbmxrider 02-10-2010 06:38 PM

saw a tree on fire, actually saw the transformer blow in the sky. super cool. there are going to be a ton of trees down so watch out. hope everyones fbody/cars/house/self isn't near one.

Knipps 02-10-2010 06:58 PM

December 8
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14
Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life!

The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way.

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer.

The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for one hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.

Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Darn snowplow came by twice.

Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white crap fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to poop. By the time I got undressed, pooped and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the jerk is lying.

December 23
Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24
6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the man who drives that snowplow I'll drag him through the snow by his nose and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been!

Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the snowplow.

December 25
Merry -bleeping- Christmas! 20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. THE WITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver he is now suing me for a million dollars not only the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up where the sun don't shine. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?



and this is bs every local school is closed, and every college is either canceled or severly delayed except for CCM :-x

deadtrend1 02-10-2010 08:14 PM

it isn't stopping here. I'm just gonna dig out tomorrow. and survey the damage to the car.

Tru2Chevy 02-10-2010 08:37 PM

Poor Olds Rocket!

Hopefully it had enough snow on it to cushion the fall.

BonzoHansen 02-10-2010 09:02 PM

I already talked to NJM. They said if it is damaged they will go after my neighbors homeowners insurance!

I ended up clearing the driveway and sidewalk one more time last night and I'm clear and ready to go to work. But the office is a mess and I will get stuck in our parking lot so I'm working from home today.

bad64chevelle 02-11-2010 08:33 AM

Yeah, we have quite a bit, our tractor keeps getting stuck while trying to clear it (does not help the tires are almost slicks) Spent all morning pulling the tractor around with the truck and now I get to rush because I have an interview in Princeton.

sweetbmxrider 02-11-2010 09:31 AM
