Holy crap - the snow killed me.
« on: March 05, 2008, 05:47:10 PM »
Shoveling that ice covered mess in my driveway pretty much killed me outright. I am not even going to be able to move tomorrow. Every shovel full was 30 pounds, and even with my small driveway, I am completely wiped out.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do in order to be able to continue to be mobile the day after a brutal snow removal?

You're a wimp.

I've seen your driveway... I got a parking ticket outside your driveway. You sir, have a small driveway!

Shovel MY driveway.... You've seen it. It holds 8 cars. (Mind you, I only shoveled for 3) When you're done that, go shovel my fathers driveway... that holds 4 cars... and it's been shoveled for all 4 of them.

Then, go back home and help shovel the "old man" across the street out of his driveway.

Then you can complain. That was my day... and I feel fine. ;-)

My driveway holds 4 cars and the not so friendly lady next door gets mad at me if I put snow on her side of the property line. Yeah, she's a fun person.  >:(

So if anyone does hear of a really good snow blower sale, PLEASE, pm me. I'd love to blast her house with a snow blower.  :wink:

Snowblowers are wonderful (my laway could likely hold 6-7 cars.  But it's even better when you have a frined who dirves a lrage tractor with a blade that does parking lots in the area.  One mighty sweep and you're good to go!

I just shoveled my 6 car driveway.

Sucked in large amounts, but they don't call this the "Great White North" for nothing!

Don't put those shovels away, there's more coming on Friday.

I hear and feel your pain - I was off yesturday, and spent most of the morning trying to keep ahead of the snow.
It finally gave up around 11, and I was able to take crash on my couch for 30 minutes after.
I like the winter, however I am tired of it now, the appeal of snow is now gone.  I want Spring and Summer!

I'm not in anywhere good enough shape to get into shape.  :- The effort of getting into shape could kill me.

Actually it was the plow in mess at the end of the driveway that was the was the most difficult to deal with. I think I could have handled the rest without the need for strong medications if the plow hadn't put a wall of ice at the end of my driveway.

..ANOTHER WINTER WALLOP THREATENS SPRING FORWARD WEEKEND.. THIS IS AN ALERT TO THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THESE REGIONS. MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS..LISTEN FOR UPDATED STATEMENTS.
A WINTER STORM IS CURRENTLY BREWING OVER TEXAS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO MOST OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO. IT APPEARS THAT THE SNOW WILL COME IN TWO DOSES. THE FIRST SHOT WILL BEGIN AS EARLY AS FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO AND FRIDAY EVENING IN EASTERN ONTARIO. WE MAY HAVE A BRIEF REPRIEVE OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WHERE SNOW MAY BECOME LIGHT AND MORE INTERMITTENT. THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IS THEN EXPECTED IN THE SECOND SHOT BEGINNING LATER SATURDAY. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS STORM IS EXPECTED TO LAST FOR 36 TO 48 HOURS. STORM TOTALS MAY BE NEAR 30 CENTIMETRES ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM LONG POINT TO THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE THEN TO PETAWAWA. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR 30 TO 50 CENTIMETRES OF SNOW OVER THE NIAGARA PENINSULA AND PARTS OF EASTERN ONTARIO. AREAS WEST OF THE LONG POINT TO PETAWAWA LINE SHOULD SEE BETWEEN 10 TO 20 CENTIMETRES WITH LESSER AMOUNTS NEAR LAKE HURON AND GEORGIAN BAY. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WE COULD SEE STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS TO 60 KM/H. ON SATURDAY STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH FRESH SNOW WILL CAUSE BLOWING SNOW TO LOWER VISIBILITIES AND CREATE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE SO TRAVELLERS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ALTER THEIR PLANS ACCORDINGLY. TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS STORM. ENVIRONMENT CANADA WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THIS SITUATION AND ISSUE WARNINGS AS REQUIRED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST PUBLIC FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
