After this last batch when they scraped past my drive, it all hardened up and I just about had to use a pickaxe to get through it. Ugh. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

The Waseca Utilities record is five times in one day. I've been keeping score. That was three times in one hour, and then they slacked off. You're right - you have to get on that stuff right away or it freezes solid. And just for the merriment of you California guys - "she who must be obeyed" got me a roof rake. This is a plastic shovel with a 40' handle used to prevent excess loading and ice dams. I had to use snowshoes to walk in my own #$%^@ yard. So there I am, standing on snowshoes, working this totally awkward tool with my arms over my head, and snow rolling down the roof onto my "red beanie hat." (Alstone's term.) The wife is helping by chortling on the warm side of the window. Statistics say March is the snowiest month in Minnesota, and tradition dictates that we get a massive dump the weekend of the state basketball tournament. Oddtodd, scroller99, et.al., remind me again why we live here? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 11:29 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA So we don't have earthquakes or hurricanes to deal with. We just have snow and tornados. lol Oh BTW these northern girls are a lot more fun!!! I know I keep editing this topic because I keep remembering different things. I already had my worst month of snow. That's February for us. We had 31 inches of snowpack at one point. It was so thick that my tracker only sunk about 6 inches or so in that stuff. However, I got my tractor stuck till spring thaw. I didn't realize that my creek had partially drifted over and I dropped the front wheels right into the creekbed. no matter what I did that thing is buried. I never hit dirt with the drive wheels though. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

This morning I get up, get my boots on for my daily 5 mile walk, open the front door... Two inches of snow and it looked like an effing blizzard. It's one of the hardest things for me to get used to after moving to the US from England. You can go to bed and it's 20 degrees outside so you turn on the heating, put an extra couple blankets on the bed...and wake up feeling like you slept in the microwave because it's suddenly 95 degrees outside.   Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:47 am scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction went out to living room pushed the button to start my car 5 minutes later when i leave the house it is snowing like crazy! snowing so hard it was hard to drive just about a whiteout, weather is driving us all over the edge! _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 10:54 pm midnightsniper Member Joined: 04 Feb 2010 Posts: 60 Location: Upstate,SC,USA We got a dusting that melted away as it fell.I am in northern Spartanburg,SC. _________________ Received my new Crosman 1377 from Crosman.   Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2010 5:34 am scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction my sister who lives a little closer to PA. got 38" in the last storm I am glad that I only got the 16" we did get _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee snow snow go the #%*^%# away     Air Gun Home Forum Index » The BS Topic You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 3   Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
