Same as Lakeview without the robins. Looks like we’re going to get some snow tonight though. May need to fire the snowblower up for the first time this season.
Here in Mississippi I stay in the house until it melts. That usually means tomorrow.What's all this with snow blowers? I don't know anybody who has one. Nobody uses one in Scotland, where it does occasionally snow.
But in the US, seems like people are all OMG, it's gonna snow, I better get the snowblower ready.
How long do you expect the snow to last? It will all be gone before you can say 'let's wake the neighbours up early this morning.'
Wish it was that simple. We will expect 1 - 2 feet of snow that stays for a month or more. We have had 3 feet (1 meter) or more on the ground from early December till March. I get you skepticism but the three or four inches you don't clear hoping for a melt becomes the base of 2 or 3 feet that you now can't clear. It is a Catch 22, Joseph Heller.What's all this with snow blowers? I don't know anybody who has one. Nobody uses one in Scotland, where it does occasionally snow.

I understand your point of view. But... there is always a but. City ordinances require you clear your portion of the sidewalk in front of your home. If after a few warnings you fail, they will send a crew to do it and charge you. This is rare but does happen. The postman may decide not to walk up your icy walkway to deliver your mail. When mum was alive she would visit often. Can't have icy steps for her. Now daughter carries a newborn and diaper bag from car to house everyday. But (another but?) the most important is parcel delivery folks don't have to traverse an icy driveway to deliver new bits for the XS650.What's all this with snow blowers?
