Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ! ! !
Just like the lyrics to the old sone, I'm looking forward tot he snow tonight. Bought a new snowblower when Lowed had the 15% off sale. It sits in the garage, gassed up and ready to go. Predictions are 5 to 8 inches overnight. I'm also hoping that it is the last snow of the winter, but I doubt that is going to happen. |

I am putting winter tires on my car this week end. Yard is vacuumed for the last time. Mowed and fertilized the lawn. Emptied rain barrels. It can snow now. |

So the snow blower won't be used today. |

From: "Christopher Young" Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2005 19:29:57 -0500 Subject: [frny] OFFER: SNOW: Farmington (Moderator's note: The mods reportedly have no sense of humor. This message gave even us a laugh, so it's being posted.) Several cubic yards of fresh, white snow. Farmington NY. Snow is brand new, and has never been used for industrial or residential applications. Does not come with packaging, or EPA warning tag for ecological disposal. Though, this may be downloadable from the EPA (dot gov) web site. Suitable for building snow forts, cooling beverages (if beverages are in container). Also suited for cooling industrial equipment, or condensors for industrial process distillation equipment. This snow is very clean, but not warranted to be food grade, and as such should not be used in direct contact with food. Can be spread about the yard in order to make "snow forts" or "snow angels". Can also be shaped to make housing units known as "igloos". Suitable for children ages 2 and up, if properly dressed. I do not accept any liability for hypothermia or chills if this snow is misused. Please email to arrange for pickup. Persons picking up should have a pickup truck, trailer, or mini van. Donor can help load vehicle if necessary, but we prefer you to bring your own containers, loading ramp, shovels, etc. Donor will consider all recipients, and gives preference to those who reply soonest.

I just run over them with the mulching blade mower. The remains disappear after it rains. I mulch as many as I can, but if I don't herd SOME of them to the tree line, there are just too many. Mower vanishes in a brown cloud, and you can't even see the grass under the debris, even after multiple passes. 80-100 foot mature trees generate a LOT of leaves, and they don't do it all at once. Of course, Ma Nature took down several of my elderly trees, along with several thousand others on this end of town, in the Memorial Day weekend storm. So I will have a little less to rake this year. The one big tree still laying in my yard is still green, though, even with most of the roots seperated. -- aem sends... |

Predictions are 5 to 8 inches overnight. A snowblower for 5-8 inches!? How big is yer driveway? Four acres? I'm new to snowy Winters but, 8" is a piece of cake and a good physical workout with a shovel. I shovel about every 4" while snowing. Being a gas engine freak, I'd be tempted to a pwr blower, but only have to worry about our deck and the yard is small rock gravel. It'd kill a pwr blower in 60 secs. It's been 3 yrs, but I think I finally have my Winter apparel dialed in. Got my Sorels, Polertec, and down jacket. Maybe a wool sweater or two to clinch it. It's snowed twice, this season, and I love it. Bring it! nb -- vi ....the heart of evil! |

The leaves are good, but if you just let them lay there, it can kill the grass, foster the growth of mold and keep new grass from coming up. Put a mulching blade on the mower and chop them up fine. |
