Chris

You should wait on that - you know what happens when you're actually prepared - I just usually take a sidewards glance @ the equipment to see if everything is there - its just like the generator - once you start it, the power comes back on. :roll: don't jinx us

I will take a walk around the property to remove any 'blower fodder & make it a point to get some gas.

Yeah, you are right! I was walking the property today, making sure all bicycles and remote toys were stowed and out of way. Thats the kids job, but you just gotta make sure anyway :shock:

Looking at the 5-day ..... looks like the Cape & islands are gonna get pounded :lol: (sorry capecoaler! :D ) but my area looks like next to nothing from this.

Of course, this is New England we're talkin' about here ... it could change 5 minutes before it hits ... & I'll end up with 5 feet! :o

I figured it would change! :o

I usually set my Polaris up before the first storm of the year, then just leave it parked right in front of the garage door, ready for action. Although I could use a new wear bar on the plow ....

I say bring it! 8-)

I think you guys have this one covered, you can have it! Many times they will curl in and catch us here on the tip of Maine but I don't need it. Its bad enough that it has been 0 degrees out the last 3 mornings. :shock:

Adventure is due to lack of preparation.


Wow, you southern people are going to get hammered! Looks like it's going to pretty much miss Maine. Fine my me....we'll pay later this season.

Sounds like a lot of work.

I have to work in NYC Sunday morning so I made reservations for Saturday night instead of worrying about the snowblower. I guess I'll deal with that Sunday afternoon when I get home.

We bougth a house in March of last year and got a snowblower with it but the engine is bad and it can't be but 3 or 4 yrs old. I was thinking about getting a new engine for it. I guess I was thinking to long. :cry: Looks like I'm shoveling! :shock:
