Yeah I'll be shoveling our walk and around my car (which I park on the street despite having a garage - long story). My plan is to do it every few hours so I don't have a heart attack it doesn't pile up too much.

I’m grabbing a few tarps today. Plan to lay them on the sidewalks Saturday night, and every few hours toss the accumulated snow into the yard… Will still need to dig out the cars, but will cover them as well.

@lufins-dad Snow gets real heavy, real fast. Be careful please.

People in Quebec often tent their vehicles, then pole off the accumulations. I’ve never done this, but my vehicle has only been buried twice.

I'm buying a garden shovel today to be able to break through ice (which is expected to cover the snow) and to grab manageable loads as compared to the large snow shovel I usually use. I'll get bundled up and go out every time there's another 4-5" of accumulation. Fortunately most of it is coming during the day.

I fear no snowstorm.

Don't forget your hoe

@mark the GOAT, I love seeing that pic. I wish I had one of those $14,000 stand-behind 4-wheel BOSS snow plows, that would be fun.

And my 23 year old son is going to be spending the weekend snowed in with his GF in Newport News while his 53 year old father farther will be shoveling snow…

In other words, you'll be a grandfather by October?

That looks like a snowpocalypse! Not a mere snowstorm. Lol

I love your rig @mark ️

We have enterprising young men. And all wheel drive.

Almost 10” so far. Now expecting 20-24” today.

Just came back from the first snow shoveling session.
Didn't clear the whole driveway, just enough to accommodate pedestrians.
Not too bad here, not even six inches of fluffy show powder.
But looking like it's turning into sleet for the rest of today.
Sleet typically sucks more than snow.

We've only had 7" so far - I'm trying to stay ahead of the shoveling

[jon-nyc]

Dayum. Going back out now.

A good friend is moving her niece to Harlem next weekend. That should be fun.
