Remember, I live in Florida, snow is enough to make anyone freak out down here. One winter, there was a flurry, and no one was moving for a few minutes until it stopped snowing.

Well, most all-terrain 4x4 tires should do ok, although ice may be more of a problem. They can always start studding those meaty 4x4 tires, with makeshift studs (short screws) if need be. Sudden brainstorm: I wonder how well staplegun staples would hold… . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Yup, snowing now, and we’re following the proud Canadian tradition of driving through the snow to the neighbouring town for the kids to play hockey. Funny how an inch of snow around here slows everything to a crawl, where a hundred miles inland it wouldn’t faze anyone. But I’m in good shape with a 4x4, good winter tires, and enough experience to not be stupid out there My wife, otoh, cowers (driving-wise) at the first snowflake… The drive home will be, uh, interesting… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 We've had a couple dustings. Fire in the fireplace right now, though it's not super cold yet tonight, 45°F (~7°C), it's supposed to be below freezing. A firebrick fell out (kiva fireplace, so sort of a beehive shape. Looks like I need to buy some refractory caulk and fix it (after fireplace cools down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaja Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Where I am the past 2 years we have only needed to shovel once or twice, but this year we already have an inch or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) we got another dusting. the heater is cranked to 80, but its not 80. its barely 65 in here. every time somone's pipes freeze they open the hatch and let all the cold air into the crawl space and i dont think there is any insulation down there. its an old building with an insufficient maintenance budget.

TheSaint Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 We got our first snow of the season last night, and tonight it is continuing. Might wind up accumulating a couple of inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
