Got hammered last night... Holy cow!

[jcooper]

First snow of the year and we get 15 flipping inches! Shoveled three times last night...

Getting 3-6" more today... Thank goodness the wife gave me a three day weekend(birthday) or this would suck. I've even got some credit cards I need to run from the week, sooooo we're making money toady(kinda)... Coming up roses so far. Going to take out the little guy and do some doughnuts later in the 4x4. He loves it!

How about you guys? Anyone else get dumped on?

OMG!

We had some strong wind and cold blow through but just a little rain. No snow.
I need to go buy a small Honda, Snapper or Toro snowblower that I can throw in the back now that I don't have a pickup for the big one's.

 

[Zee]

Oh dang... It was 79F and felt more in the sun...





But then again, don't ask about cost of living around here....

 

[Russ T.]

We got hit pretty good too. I think they were calling for 7-9" but not sure exactly what fell.

Trying to muster the motivation to go dig out the driveway and deck in the back.

We are leaving for Steamboat, CO really early in the morning for Thanksgiving. My brother said they've gotten over 60" so far this season.

Gonna be epic!

Excited to see how well the Sequoia does in the snow too!

Unfortunately we're headed out to a wedding in an hour... Otherwise we'd be going to the beach. It is so nice and warm today too.

 

[steve_64]

[Desk Jockey]

Hey Sam, that is what we pay big bucks for....

Front yard view today...was a bit hazy and sunny against the phone usually it's a nicer view of the ocean.

 

[Mikey P]

Backyard view today.

Yep! My house was $150,00 on 1 acre with a blueberry patch, large garden and many fruit trees. It would easily be $1 million in Cali. Full finished basement with 3 beds and baths. Only 2" of snow today but down to 8 degrees by morning. Chavez, you need a plow.

 

[Zee]

It might not be the snow that scares them away....



.....it might just be the Tofurkey....

 

[Mikey P]

life long vegetarians they be.

 

[SamIam]

They just dont know what they're missing! but then again with the Turkey shortage Mike is being helpful to us carnivores who have been brain washed to gobble them up.

 

[Hoody]

Got a dusting here but 1-2 hours north of me got 14-18". Which reminds me.... I gotta go plug the heat tape in.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Chavez, you need a plow.

17-inch tires. I am the plow.

 

[KevinL]

You must pay a service to do your lot. Why don't you get a plow for the shop, take the pay for that and use it at home.

 

[Desk Jockey]

You talked me out of it at the San Jose Airport. Too few uses to justify the expense.

 

[Scott S.]

it snowed here all day sunday, but was 33 degrees, so most of it melted, but woke up this moring to a little bit on everything.

 

[Mikey P]

Yikes...

 

[Brian H]

I got about 14" at home but only had 3-4 inches at the office.

Mike, snow showers are just light flurries. Usually no real accumulation.

Do you use an extension?

 

[jcooper]

I gotta go plug the heat tape in.

Gutters?

 

[Zee]

Here, I'll send you some warmth from on the way home today.

BTW this is a pretty cool place called The Strand. Check it out. Some homes for $15-20 million. The likes of Clint Eastwood and others have built here.

Yikes...

Watch out for black ice. With it melting in the day then dropping that low, it will freeze. Looks wet but it's ice.

Very often It doesnt even look wet.

As you metioned it can be hard to see it. Scary stuff.
