The Great Snow Storm of 2019

[halfmileharry]

Had to go out for a facility/safety team meeting at church this morning. Came home almost an hour ago and my 20yo boy says "yout back is going to hurt bad tonight after you shovel the driveway". I laughed and said naw, I'm just going to have a cold beer while you shovel the driveway. He got that angry deer in headlights look, but he is out there shoveling it now. Albeit he is probably cussing me out under his breath lol.

I can't rep ya but my thoughts were "For all the dads in the world"

If he doesn't get all the cussing out of his system, send him my way and he can cuss you some more.

If any of my boys had ever said anything like that to me..........................

Just got back from using the snowblower: about 4" in snow.
Didn't have a snowshovel in the garage and had to go to the outbuilding to get one, and just grabbed the snowblower instead: lazy.
Sadly, it was a workout to just use the snowblower.
I'll maybe use the shovel for the evening clearing: maybe not.

And 72 hours ago I was sitting on Clearwater Beach, it was 87. Been in Florida the last month.

Stinking responsibilities here in Indiana forcing me to come back. Too young and not enough money to retire, but it sure was fun to see what retirement could be like.

Just measured 4 inches and still snowing fairly heavily.

I shoveled a path from the garage to the street so I could get the mail, then shoveled the sidewalk from the driveway to the front door. Only about 4", but dang it's some heavy crap. I'm a morning person, so I'll hit it first thing after breakfast in the morning. I need to rest up. I have a football game to watch!

I’m guessing the guy in fishers that was selling the snowblower in the classifieds is pretty happy that he didn’t sell it right now.

Just finished shoveling the driveway, wet sticky snow. Good News: heart rate and breathing normal, my diet and exercise regiment is working.

No need to shovel when you have a 4x4

hope everyone is enjoying their milk sandwiches

I'm enjoying the last of the warm weather I'll see for a while. Currently heading back to Indiana after a week long Caribbean cruise. Snow sucks. I need to be old enough to retire.

Just took my Yorkie sledding. Good news- heart rate off the charts, breathing ragged- still alive!

Yours or the Yorkie's?

The new term is “snowperson”.

Not if you use a second carrot to remove all doubt.

Used the snowblower to clean off the driveway. Still coming down. Measured 5 inches here, just East of Kokomo.

As posted up thread. No need to shovel or clear off anything today. A good fire in the stove. Had a snowmaggeddon breakfast for us and the kids. Been running the saws in the wood shop building shelves for the new closet. Spouse has yesterdays chili on the stove. Game time is looming and the chili is warming.
Can't think how this day could be better.

Oh, and things are fairly quite on Ingo.....

And....I got him outside shoveling again. My daughter has measured 6.5" so far (measured in 3 spots). I just informed the boy that I will be doing grandmas driveway after the Colts game. But, I will be using her rather larger snow blower. And since I am the facilities cochair at church, I volunteered his labor to help shovel and salt the walkways in the morning. He wasn't happy but dropped the issue after I asked if we should discuss a rental agreement...and if he made plans to go get his dinner.

When he actually moves out, I will be buying a snow blower. Until then I will enjoy this dance lol
