Re: Eastern Bias- Blizzard stories
Just spent 2 hours plowing the top end of the driveway(plowed twice yesterday), man there is a lot of snow out there. Put the tractor in the shop, time for the Canadian studded ring chains so I can plow to the chicken coup, down the driveway and out back so I can get wood in. Hopefully I don't get stuck

It really doesn't matter how fluffy the snow is when you have to shovel 3 feet of it. Snowblower doesn't want to work, so the driveway and steps had to be shoveled. What fun. I also noticed part of the gutter along the roof blew away. Wonder if we'll ever find that. At least the wind blew all the snow off the front of the roof!

The Weather Channel can try to claim that Orko is named after the thunder god of Basque mythology...we all know better.

Was anybody else there? That would be cool, walking through a snowy and relatively quiet North End on a Saturday night.

let's face it, they named things after pop culture stuff because they knew it would generate memes and the rest.

Re: Eastern Bias- Blizzard stories
Finally done cleaning up, I could barely plow the hill but I got it done, might be a wee bit narrow but it gets sun all day long and it will settle big time after a few sunny days. Won't have to worry about letting chickens out, drifted right in their yard, it faces south also but it will be awhile melting out 3ft of drifted snow. I'm used to 12 to 18 inch storms but this baby packed a wallop, I haven't seen this much snow in less than 24 hrs since I was a kid

Re: Eastern Bias- Blizzard stories
Walked over to the T garage to get my car. Looks like I'll have to make that walk daily till someone decides to plow the sidewalks. Crazy. Supermarket was open and shelves were full. Tried to get gas ay my normal station but it was closed and not even plowed. The street behind my building I use to get to my parking lot was only half plowed yesterday. Looks like they made a pass at it last night, but the road is only wide enough for one car. We're supposed to get rain and freezing rain at some point tomorrow or Tuesday. That should be fun on top of all this snow.

Re: Eastern Bias- Blizzard stories
You need to take some pictures of all the snow you've moved. and of your tractor as well.

Do you realize how stupid you look having not read this thread at all?
Enjoy your own stupidly named storm!

Oh, good news for the folks in the Midwest. According to the Weather Channel you'll get to deal with Winter Storm Orko soon, so you don't have to feel left out.
It looks like we had the same thought.
The names of winter storms:

OK, so we didn't get the super-storm in lower Michigan like the Northeast, but we had 8 to 14 inches in West Michigan on the 7th.
The joke going around the office this week was:
Q: How do you convert a dishwasher into a snowblower?
A: Hand your wife a shovel.

But I wonder where the Weather Channel is located....
