It's time to start to think about snow and I thought I would post the Snowblower I want to get! V10 anyone?

I also wanted to try to post a picture for the first time, so please be patient.

[TubaMuffins]

well, i'd normally be right there with you but as of Nov 3, in Minneapolis its 50 degrees so snow looks like its a bit of the ways off. Are you sure thats a snowblower and not a tree stump eating thing?

[TETENAL]

I'm ready for winter. The city removes the snow for me.

Damn socialism. Now I don't have a need for a V10 snowblower.

[TurboMac]

No it's a snow blower that was at the Woodward dream cruise this summer. It was at the dodge tent. There is also a V10 BBQ pit behind it, but I didn't get pics.

Your right though - I am in Cleveland and it almost hit 70 today!!!! Thats pretty un-common.

[TurboMac]

double!

[sek929]

I'm personally looking forward to shoveling my street out again once the tiny Mass snow budget evaporates before the big storms start to hit.

Other than that...I am actually looking forward to building another snow cave and smoking blunts in it

[residentEvil]

snow is a way off here too; we hit 70 in detroit today. it ****ing sucks; bring on the snow damnit!

[sek929]

We won't get any snow worth mentioning till January...but watch out in January*




*sek's prediction for Southeast Mass this winter.

[TurboMac]

Actually my city does plow the sidwalks and streets, but my driveway is my responsability. I had a choice to make 2 weeks ago:

Buy a snowblower for 600.00 or 42" Sony HD Wega Plasma for $1500.00 - I choose the latter (I couldn't resist at that price!)

Good choice so far, but this winter will really let me know for sure.

At least you'll be sitting warm inside watching some really clear images flying by your motion sensetive eyes. Who needs a snow blower? Whos spends all his time outside? The people that do stay outside don't have any money for a snow blower anyway. Or am I just thinking the wrong way here?
Maybe it's because I don't have to worry about snow. As soon as the temperature drops below 10 C, I just won't go outside unless necessary.

I want that summer back!!!

What? It's November...The leaves are still on the trees...it was around 20 out today. Only wore a T-shirt.

You've only been here for one winter. Last winter was a fluke.

[Atomic Rooster]

dp.

[Mastrap]

Tetenal lives somewhere near Frankfurt. Trust me, winters there are nothing like winters here.

[andi*pandi]

we had a snow the second week of november last year... and an inch last weekend. Who knows what this year will be... a warm, wet fall might mean more snow.

No snowblower for us though. not worth it for small driveway.

[paul w]

Just Saturday my gf and I were saying that it was almost as cold (late october in nyc) as it ever gets in Paris during the winter. We were freezing. The next day it was nearly 70 degrees F and we were wearing tee shirts. Go figure.

[Randman]

It's 82 right now (with a heat index of 91).

[Railroader]

I took the Husqvarna out of storage a couple days ago.

I would be so happy to see snow this year, we never get any real snow here.

HAHAHAHAH ok your funny really you are. I work graveyards, which rules out Transit for the half nights I do some times, and I live 35KM from work, thats up and down lots of hills, oh and lets not forget this time of year it rains 90% of the time it seems. But hey for u maybe I'll try it out, walk the good 7 hours at night in the rain to make you happy.

I was using satire. you didn't get it. Now that. Is funny.

Do you have any idea how long some people's drive ways are? How much snow do you have to shovel? Wait, aren't you living in a apt? They probably do that for you don't they? And seeing as you don't own it, and don't have to sell it, you could very easily move closer to work. Or does your bad credit keep your from being approved for another place?

I snow blow my driveway, my parent's driveway, and a few eldery neighbor's driveways.

Most snow blowers have 4-cycle engines. They burn gasoline pretty clean. But you wouldn't know that. You're too busy making knee-jerk reactions.

I cant afford to live closer to work, I work downtown, apartments go for 800+ per month. And actually yes my bad credit has prevented me from getting places, thank you for reminding me of that. And the few times it snows here I usally end up helping out with driveways on my block, I dont live in a apartment. A few years ago when we did get a good dump, I helped in 8 driveways in 2 days and that was with a shovel, I do remmeber after the 2nd driveway my muscles where killing me.

Sounds like you need a better job that will pay more. CAN$800 sounds CHEAP!

You don't live in an apartment? Where do you live? At home still?

Rent out a basement suit, 800 + parking + hydro + anything else ends up being alot, I got a 2 Bedroom Basement suit which is the entire main level of a house for $400.00 right now. Average rent prices in the Burbs is 550 - 650, average rent prices in Vancouver city is 650-850 and in the downtown average is 1000 to 1300

Whoa. Mental images of older people getting sucked up in snowshifters. (Yes, I know that it was actually good old fashioned shoveling that was accused of doing the killing.)

Anyway, shoveling is great exercise.

[TurboMac]

So is sex, but I don't think many people are getting much excercise here!

That is one awesome snowblowing machine. Will be anxious to hear how it performs.

Luckily, one of our neighbors had a large snowblower last year, otherwise our street might have been closed for a week.

[rambo47]

Talk about giving a guy an inferiority complex! I look at my piddley electric-powered snow blower, then that V-10 monster, and I slink to the back of the garage to hide my face in shame!

[sek929]

Electric snowblowers are for people who don't get any real snow and are to lazy to shovel it.

(sorry)

Making insults against a member of the boards is expected, but insulting members family and kids is really low and pathetic. No matter who the poster is.

I recall something like this being mentioned a while back... something about photoshoping someone's kids and putting them up here on the 'NN (dont entirely remember how the story went) Yeah, bringing in the family is way outta line in my book. *sigh* And kudos to you for not jumping in and agreeing with that just because it insults someone you appeared to be arguing with.

Getting back on topic... I don't think I've seen enough snow to constitute that kind of equipent in my entire life, cumulatively!

...when I read the thread topic I thought the discussion would be about someone getting new winter clothes, or something like that lol.

[Athens]

same, my entire life combined I think the total snow Ive seen is 4 feet worth. One year as a 2 foot dump that totally messed up the city and all the other years combined would make the other 2 feet work. If I lived in Toronto or Calgary hehe then it would be different. I would prob try and get a electic one though.

INT SALOON, NIGHT. THE ROOM IS CROWDED WITH ROWDY COWHANDS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT OUT. IN THE CORNER IS A TABLE OCCUPIED BY A GROUP OF RAILROAD WORKERS.

The swing doors open and Ca$h walks into the room. Ca$h is a young cowhand with a glint in his eyes. Ca$h walks up to the bar, where he seems to be well known.

Bartender: Hey Ca$h, I thought you were barred from this joint.

Cash (laughs): Nobody bars Ca$h, the kid. A whiskey, double. And none of that stuff you sell to the railroad monkeys.

One of the railroad workers, Kilbey, recognizes the much hated voice, although he sits with his back to the bar. His eyes narrow. His breathing slows.

Kilbey (under his breath): After so many years? Can it be?

Ca$h stands by the bar, whiskey in hand. Kilbey pushes back his chair, gets up and slowly, carefully walks towards Ca$h, the kid. He carefully studies his face, getting more sure with every step. He is finally meeting his foe.

Kilbey: Hey, cowpoke.

Ca$h (to the bartender): And then he had this gelding which he wanted to tie up at my post and I said to him, hey use your freaking spores, and he was like what do you want to use a gelding for when you go after mountain lions you want a mule only mules don't like lions like everybody knows that what a freaking idiot and I was...

Kilbey (louder, with menace): Hey, cowpoke

Ca$h looks over his shoulder at Kilbey. He doesn't recognize him.

Ca$h: What?

Kilbey: Yes, it's you I am talking to.

Kilbey spits.

Kilbey: It sure smells of cowshit in here. And it's coming from this direction.

Kilbey nods towards Ca$h. The room gets quiet. There is a nervous laugh from the table of the railroad workers, but that's stifled immediately.

Ca$h: Say that again, factory goon.

Kilbey: It smells of cowshit in here. I remember that smell. I've been following it for many years now. Planning, searching, searching planning. I even signed up to other forums so I would not lose the scent. And now you're mine. You can't run, nowhere to hide.

The barman removes the mirror from behind the bar and begins packing the more expensive whiskeys away.

Ca$h (to the room): Don't mind Kilbey. He attacks anybody he can to feel better about his factory job and pathetic life and ugly ****ing demon children.

Kilbey: You're crossing a line, boy.

Two shots. Kilbey and Ca$h fall to the floor. In through the doors walks Sheriff Demonhood. Outside we see his trusty stead Trogdor burninating Ca$h's horse.

Demonhood shakes his head.

Demonhood: What a waste.

Demonhood walks up to Kilbey, uses his boot to turn him around. Kilbey wears half a Chinese coin on silver chain around his neck.

He walks over to Ca$h and pulls up his shirt. A thin trickle of blood forms from Ca$h's mouth, but he isn't dead. He stares at Kilbey's coin.

Cash (tries to talk): Da....d?

Demonhood: Yes.

The camera pans down Ca$h and we see the second half of the Chinese coin on his chest. Ca$h stops breathing.

FADE TO BLACK.

Correct on both counts! While we do get the occasional heavy snowfall here in northern New Jersey, twice in one winter is big news. 4" to 5" is considered pretty heavy snow (please hold the penis jokes). With a short driveway a gas-powered unit seemed like overkill, and the shovel, well, ....

Q: How do you turn a dish washer into a snow blower?

A: Give the b!tch a shovel!
