Violagirl, are you in MA or elsewhere in NE? A guy in a heavy equipment plow (not just a truck) just came and re-piled the snow in the culdesac in advance of more, now it's a whole mountain range and even higher. Our plow guy came during the morning sometime and took away the piled snow along the fence and driveway, since there would be no room for more. and the oil delivery guy just came, but a) I don't know where the oil pipe is, and b) even if I did it isn't shoveled out. "If dad can get it shoveled out have them call us!" ..because I couldn't shovel or anything (in his defense he probably thought I was a teenager.) We cruised by the snow farm yesterday when I was at work... it's at least 40' high!!! I wanted to climb it so bad but there were trucks there unloading, lol. Maybe next week.

Ooh, thanks for making me think about the oil fill needing to be dug out. I just called them since our tank is getting low, and these ridiculously frigid temps have the boiler running constantly. Expected high on Sunday is negative 1. Off to dig 4' out.

Yep. Digging it out when mom gets home to tell me where it is.... I hope it isn't under 4', it might be. <IMG alt=" " src="http://images.proboards.com/new/undecided.png" width=18 height=18 text=" ">

Ok, didn't take as long as I thought it might. Pipe end was visible, you just needed to scale the shoulder height snowbank to get to it. I cut a path thru to it. Not giving them any reason to skip my delivery, and I know how miserable it must be slogging thru the deep stuff and being out in this cold all day. I'll make it as easy for them as I can.
Of course, if I do run out of oil and they need to service the burner to restart it, I'll have to dig out the bilco doors, too. Hope they fill it soon.

Wellll, it sucks way more than just shitty here because you're in Canada so you're closer to the North Pole so you should have bitterly cold, snowy winters. We are closer to the Equator, so we should have sunny, warm winters where special snowflakes fall only on wide-open rural pastures and fields in a perfect-picture-postcard kind of way. Stop sending your crappy winter weather toward us right now!! And I mean it!!! WHOEVER IS PRAYING FOR SNOW -- STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

Malarky and chiver78: I was at the [blank] Outdoor Store today to pick up some Smartwool Socks. The place is practically stripped bare. They said that their Christmas sales revenue sucked, but that they have more than made up for it in the past 3 weeks or so.

They said that their Christmas sales revenue sucked, but that they have more than made up for it in the past 3 weeks or so. Crap. I need to go in there and get new snow boots. Assuming they have any left. DD has figured out how awesome my 30+ year old Sorrel boots are and I haven't been able to wear them for 3 weeks. I love that store. Some years it's the only place I buy clothes! And shoes. There are a lot of things to be grateful for even though my house is halfway up the 1st floor windows in snowbanks and I have 10'+ icicles from the roof to the first floor. And another major storm on the way. Oil fill is dug out and we just got a delivery. I threw a hissy fit when they wanted to vent my new furnace out the wall at ground level so it vents out the chimney. My dryer vent is under the porch (assuming it doesn't collapse from the weight of the snow from the roof) and isn't blocked at the moment. Fresh veggies are getting sparse, but I have enough stockpiled food to last a month...I don't need to get in line at the grocery store. Life could be a lot worse.

For us, the weather forecast is talking about 1-2 inches of snow Sunday night and Monday.
We are sunk-it will cause 3 inch snow drifts and we are too far from the ocean to it in there.

you do not have my sympathies. It will actually shut the city down. Schools will be closed. The roads will look like a demolition derby with what employees attempt to drive to work. A day full of drama.

Hey, don't let the naysayers bother you Tenn. Oh and don't let that stuff drift any further south or I will have to evcauate. Of course we can always it into the Gulf of Mexico

On a serious note though. Was watching the news and can't even comprehend the amount of snow and ice. So everyone stay safe and off the roads unless necessary. I knew some say it's just the norm and you are used to it but I equate it with the difference in a Cat 1 hurricane and a Cat 4 hurricane.

I am delivering the Rocket to my cousin tomorrow (so I don't have to dig it out in the snow in addition to my new car!) and I promise I will check in when I get home. might be hours later, a few of us are planning to be snowbound here tomorrow night.

Close - just above Maine in New Brunswick. Yes I happen to play the viola. I'll admit I haven't picked it up in quite awhile. It's more like I own a viola.
