Weather. Odd or what?

I'm a perfectionist, no one can achieve the smooth edges like I can.!-



If I paid a guy $5 for what I shovelled yesterday, I wouldn't find anyone in the Okanagan who would shovel my snow ever again- To be fair I'd have to pay him $15. A solid hour of heavy work!

I like the smooth edges too, JLM. We don't have any young folks around here.........just a lot of old farts like me......besides, I get a lot of exercise shoveling snow. No need to kill oneself, slow and steady does the job - with a few breaks. :smile:

Snow is the gods' way of controlling the elderly male population.

Get a scoop or a grain shovel. Drag the snow, don't lift it.

Bend the knees, scoop the snow, straighten the knees, heft and heave. I push to the edges, then bend, lift and heave. Get a pretty good work out doing things that way..........and no sore back.

Get a gas-powered leaf blower-the backpack type.

Well if it is only elderly males...............I'm safe for awhile yet. :smile:

No in the cards, Spade..................like my peace and quiet waaaay too much and as I mentioned, the exercise is good for me. Not like I can going jogging. LOL!

Just exactly what I did half the morning.

I bought a Bobcat mostly to plow snow. Just having it works like a charm, haven't had to plow snow yet. Felt like spring today.

Half the morning and another hour or so this afternoon and I still have a good hour or more tomorrow - just in time for another few centimeters in the forecast. I can hardly wait.

We made it all the way to +0C today.

 

[SLM]

We were at 4C.

We made it all the way to +0C today.

How does one get to + zero? Lol, isn't it just zero?

 

[petros]

Anything above -1 is a +

Especially in January.
Truthfully though. It sucks.It's too humid.

Raining slightly here. The snow on my roof is starting to slide off. I hate going up on a metal roof any time of year.

 

[Spade]

Here it's cold enough to freeze eggs on the hood of a car.

And that's in summer.

Buy magnetic galoshes.

Fair enough, lol.

I agree, it's making the last bit of my cough due to cold particularly miserable.

Gran Marnier is good cough syrup. 2 or 3 glasses and you won't even notice you have one.

Yep, I've run the gambit for OTC stuff...gonna try a nice shot of rum before bed tonight. That'll help me sleep.

I do too, Cliffy but if things don't warm up enough to get the snow on my roof moving - that's where I will be.

Leave it up there, it's free insulation and It will melt someday.
