Been up since 3 for some reason.
Gonna bust out a leaf blower for the snow.
Work smarter not harder.

Never mind - it snowing.Bunch of snow north of Annapolis but not actively coming down right now.

I'd say 9, depends how close you are to the neighbors. .5 acre or further 8 is fair, less than that, prob 9So...8?Starbucks across the street had some loud contraption going at about 6amHow early is too early to use a leaf blower out there?![]()

I'm in Canonsburg PA and about the same.Southwest PA. Has wide ranging snow totals. I have about 6inches in Washington, PA. but 20 to 30 miles east and south are in the teens.
Morning news is reporting that there are stranded drivers on the PA turnpike between the Somerset and Bedford exits
Seven Springs ski resort area has 20+ and they are calling for 10 more

If you're asking, you're already latehow early is too early for schnapps and hot chocolate (minus the hot chocolate)?
Will let you guys know shortlydoes this actually work?

I am ready and willing to unleash a blizzard of snowy hell.How early is too early to use a leaf blower out there?
I'll look to see if the flue is covered by a snow drift or something.If you don't have it already, probably missed a good chunk. I'm in central jersey and looking at probably a foot now.Total bust for central VA. Unless I just jinxed myself and the "wrap around" stuff comes in heavy today.

Nah, the wrap around could still come. The low is right off the coast.If you don't have it already, probably missed a good chunk. I'm in central jersey and looking at probably a foot now.Total bust for central VA. Unless I just jinxed myself and the "wrap around" stuff comes in heavy today.
Stay inside, don't look for trouble.Wind hitting pretty hard now in my area. Went out and shoveled/sprinkled the rock salt, and sort of not wondering why I bothered, as 20 minutes later it's all a mess again.
After breakfast I'm firing up the Jeep to go get out in it, find some excuse for an errand.
Where you be? I used to live in Hanover.Got at least a foot of snow overnight in south central PA. Still snowing hard. Wind howling! Classic Nor'easter!
