yea it must be a lot of fun being a cop in the snow with those real wheel drive crown vics disaster!

we dont have the crown vics anymore we have caprices and impalas. The suburbans and silverados will get the bulk of the work

I might actually take the snowblower out of the shed. It was given to me two years ago, and i have yet to use it.

Nows the time to check to see if it works

My bones ain't feeling this storm.... Not gonna happen... ❄️

Nows the time to check to see if it works

 

It worked when my next door neighbor gave it to me, and the fuel had been drained. I will check it anyway, I have gas and two-cycle oil so i'm good with that.

Snowing pretty good in Somerville right now

It must be an old one, I don't believe there are any two-stroke snowblowers in production, or have been in production in the last 10 years or longer. 

 

Two-stage don't use oil-gas mix.

It is older and a small single stage, but it was free so i'm not complaining.

Since when is 4-6" a major storm? Back in Maine this wouldn't even cancel school.

Free is good!   

 

As a note, the storm looks like everyone in NJ gets some, northern folks like me can get 6+.     The next one moving in may end up as rain...better than 2 feet!

By the way, in addition to the Facebook site, what weather sites do you all trust? I bounce between weather.com and news.

 

For simple weather I use this

http://www.my-cast.com/#07719,+NJ

 

And I have the paid app for my phone. Been using it for 5-6 years now.

IOS version:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-cast-weather-radar/id348779486?mt=8

 

I also pay for the the severe weather subscription. Great to have, either on the boat or motorcycle to see where the lightning strikes are.

 

 

NOAA is fairly accurate, though the website is ugly. I believe Weather Underground primarily uses data from NOAA.

 

Most weather sites use the NOAA info, as well as the Doppler RADARs

 

Yeah this guy is pretty legit...his Sandy predictions were insanely accurate.

 

Anyone who spends a little bit of time looking at the weather maps and RADAR can predict just as well as the TV guys.

And a wife with a bad back can usually predict the weather almost as well without looking at the TV.

More fun in a 70,000 pound ladder truck

Didn't here when were kids either. But when there is nothing to talk about in the media, 1" is a major Nor'easter... Better buy out all bread and milk!

That's funny because My-Cast is the one I always go back to. I have many and still luv it. Hasn't been updated in quite awhile but works flawlessly.

 

Storm Shield is getting some attn too.

Nope.... But yea.... I live right up the street so no effort. HS was a hike though. But what I was referring to what people consider storms. 4-6" was nothing. Nobody went bat shet crazy like today.

With a hit potato in your pocket to keep warm, and later for lunch.

I say let it snow! I just picked up snowblower from a forum member and have plenty of gas.

I think the supermarkets pay the news to do it....fastest way known to clean-out the shelves.

We could use a good snowstorm, and I am ready.  But since when is 4-6 inches a good snowstorm?

I'm good without one. Already I see my townhouse assoc. fee going up. I guess we're due. It managed to remain the same for two years.

 

But how much?

I hope we get a blizzard followed by another blizzard!  Im ready.  BRING IT!

I apologize to all snow haters if this actually happens but I would love it.

I'd go for a nice 30" again. I remember last time taking the dogs for a walk down the middle of the road in snowshoes. Good times.

I'll semi rub it in.  Its about 55 here in the Gulf of Mexico offshore, but then again I am dealing with 15+ ft seas and higher forecasted.

I used to be the guy that had to remove it.  Not any more!  I feel your pain!!

I spent 6 years in Syracuse where 4-6" certainly wasn't a major storm. It was a normal winter day. People there don't bat an eye unless it's over a foot.

Anyone know where i can get a fuel bowl gasket in north jersey Bergen County?

#951-11589 for a troy bilt.

Might try Tractor Supply if there is one near you.  Sometimes they have the rebuild kits.

Just dropped my daughter off at the airport she was home for Christmas vacation, she is currently living in Hawia.. She hoped it would snow while she was here, it warmed up when she came now it is getting cold after she left..

Try http://www.nationallawnequipment.com/ in Mahwah, off Rt 17 north next to Home Depot.

I don't know if they carry your brand there, but I just picked up some carriage bolts and nuts for my Craftsman.
