MickinMD ★ Posted February 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2019 I was around 20F at 10 am when a couple of my neighbors were shoveling 2-3" of snow from porches, sidewalks and cars. I saw from the hourly Accuweather forecast that it should reach 39F by 2 pm and stay there until after 4 pm. So at 4 pm I went out with my shovel and broom. It took me about 5 minutes to do my front and back porches and about 1 minute to do the little bit of snow on my car. There's still a little at the edges of the sidewalk, but 48F tomorrow with take care of that! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted February 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 2, 2019 It is a great strategy if you don't need to get out before the heat melts stuff. I generally have to do some snow removal because I am in and out with the pup multiple times, and if I don't remove it, it gets compressed and becomes ice. But a ton of neighbors never step outside their garages, so they are fine with the delay and let god handle it method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted February 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2019 We got a couple inches the other day, my neighbors jumped on the opportunity and got out there with shovels & snowblowers & garden tractor plows. I procrastinated, thinking I,ve got a whole winter ahead of me, I can shovel this snow when I want. Well, came home from work today, the snow is all gone....... missed my chance....... Damn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I got my oil changed and tire replaced Thursday, I did all the shopping I'd need for the weekend knowing there would be light snow throughout the day Friday. The streets are good now on Sat.

BuffJim Posted February 3, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 3, 2019 My driveway is a mess and needs lots of work. We do have 3 days above freezing ahead, so I hope to get it under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted February 3, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2019 Wonder how far east this next cool spell will reach. They are forecasting -16F for tonight and -18F for Wednesday night, and highs during that period are forecast to be below zero F. I might have to add another layer of clothes when outdoors.
