Local Cleveland weather man just said we had 1-1/2" of snow today.... what a maroon.... I just finished with my snow muncher machine, and never once did it not have 10" on either side of the clearcuts I was making... that's the difference 25 miles can make, some folks in Cleveburgh don't have a clue... that's why they call where I live "the snow belt" perfect geographic change in elevation, coupled with the lake shore, and we have a snow machine that reallllly produces well.... might get outta the house and go to the local slopes tomorry, and try to break some tibia.... sounds like fun....
Oh, snow rakes? Bwaaaahaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa.....
Man, hit Lowes and get some 2 x 2's and a piece of osb, and make one... then this spring, you can burn it in effigy....
I always made my own, and its getting close to make one this year, we have had as much as 18" on the house at times this year, currently have about a foot, but I'll make one if needed.... back in 1994 iirc, we got an early mega storm beginning of november, trees still had leaves on them, and we got dumped on with a 30"+ overnight storm, heavy wet snow... actually had to shovel off my girlfrends dads house roof... by hand... what a trip shoveling thigh deep snow off a roof... and when finished, simply did backflips off the eave into the 8foot high piles..... mm mm fun.
Some big warehouses actually had crews on the roof with snowblowers, a lot of steel building collapsed....
