Snow Day (1 Viewer)

I had my snow tires changed off yesterday. Naturally, it snowed last night.

I should get off my ass and do that this morning.

Similar story: A couple of weeks ago, I finished shoveling snow and thought to myself how this MUST be the last time I'll have to shovel this winter and less than a week later, the biggest snow storm of the year hit.

From the Idaho DOT site:

Studded tire laws vary in neighboring states:
· Montana: Oct. 1 – May 31
· Nevada: Oct. 1 – April 30
· Utah: Oct. 15 – April 15
· Oregon: Nov. 1 – March 31
· Washington: Nov. 1 – March 31
· Wyoming: Legal all year

Idaho's dates are October 1 to April 30. What are your dates in the East?

I found this table in one of our state DOT reports:

Studded tires were banned here in Michigan sometime back in the 1970's. I remember helping my dad pull all the studs out of his tires when the ban took affect back when I was a kid.


Some areas around here got up to four inches of snow overnight. We had none at our house, but there was quite a bit on the ground at one of my offices I visited today.


I'm still running the gas out of my snowblower and putting it away this weekend. I believe in living dangerously!

 

[Charles Smith]

I need to do that, too. I usually procrastinate and end up throwing fuel stabilizer in it.


But what I came to say was: It's snowing.

 

[Charles Smith]

It won't accumulate on anything to speak of, but... you know....

Hey @Mike Frezon, hope you're "non-essential" like I am; the governor just gave us a snow day!

Here's the current snowfall total estimates for New York's Capital Region (and they keep going up!):

About as "non-essential" as you can get, Adam. I retired at the end of June! (But, truth be told, I'll be working part-time when the legislative session resumes next month).

And don't get me started on our Governor rushing back from his visit to Puerto Rico just to make sure we all somehow manage during this snowpocalypse. I'm sure we'll all be okay now under his leadership.

Pete doesn't need no stinkin' day off!

A belated congratulations on the retirement!

Here's the view out of my window right now:

Looks like we can expect another 10 inches before all is said and done.

Adam: Just got word the NYS Assembly is also closed tomorrow...

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Looks like NYC is being spared most of it, but it still seemed like a good excuse to pick up a spiral ham to roast with some potatoes and those baby onions that taste so good when they get a little toasty.

Slight drizzle has closed the subway before under our mutual governor’s leadership so it probably wasn’t the worst idea. I don’t know if the six pack of root beer is as easily justifiable but I’m an adult darn it and I don’t need to

Stay safe all you guys getting actual snow.

Stay safe. Luckily, it was a little too warm when the storm passed through here and all we got was rain. We did come home early from our Thanksgiving weekend at my parents in northern Michigan, though, to avoid the storm -- they had over 6 inches and it was still snowing when I spoke with them Sunday morning.

We got about 2 inches or so in mid-Michigan, but, it's melting rather quickly here.

Congrats on your retirement.

I'm sure it's a pain for many of you U.S. East Coast and Midwest dwellers, but I can't help but envy your snowfall a bit. Fifteen years living in Osaka, and it's only snowed twice, barely a half inch or so both times, and gone by lunchtime.

The north of Honshu, and especially over in Hokkaido, though, is a completely different story...they get a TON of snow there.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Congrats on your retirement, @Mike Frezon. Welcome to the club!

Update this morning, from the back:

The white blob behind the trailer is my buried car.

And we're expected to get another 7-8 inches this afternoon!

And the update from the other coast of the Hudson River...
