Welcome to ultimate snow season, we're getting another 5-8" here. I was going to wait to clean my driveway, but I could only get my car halfway up it. Then I ended up destroying one of the pins in my snowblower and had to replace it. Good times.

anyone ever mess around with any of those ergonomically-designed snow shovels with the curved handle (Fig. A), or the ones that rest on a huge wheel so it's like a big rolling scooping lever (Fig. B), or the plow-y ones with a bar on each side of the shovel so it looks like a lawnmower (Fig. C)? if i had a driveway or something i think i might wanna upgrade, but as it is i only have to shovel the sidewalk in front of my townhouse and a little path to the back gate. i pride myself on my quickness and i think a fancier shovel might just slow me down.

Fig. C why can't you be more like Figs. A and B
figure A are good but B and C i don't understand
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 02:52 (sixteen years ago)
seems like B would reduce strain to your back by giving you this portable fulcrum that you can just push down on to lift and then just swivel over to the side to dispense, whereas C appears to involves absolutely no back strain at all, but i'm not sure how you would clear the spade of its snowload.
this is what midwestern VFW hall patrons discuss once football season's over, isn't it
― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:02 (sixteen years ago)
sometimes you need to throw snow further away so not being able to lift seems bad
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:17 (sixteen years ago)
you should get an A, iiiijjjj. B and C are for people who have a lot of newfangled gadgets
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:20 (sixteen years ago)
like a bowflex and a ronco food dehydrator
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 03:21 (sixteen years ago)
Fig B. looks like a penny-farthing with a cowcatcher

did u guys hear the thunder early sat morning? i did! they said that means snow can fall up to 4 in/hr and it might happen again tonight
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:41 (sixteen years ago)
thunder only happens when it's raining
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:46 (sixteen years ago)

i know it's called thundersnow but i don't like that because when thunder happens when it's raining it's not called thunderrain
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:49 (sixteen years ago)
lol
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:50 (sixteen years ago)
its called a thunderstorm when its rain
― am0n, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:50 (sixteen years ago)
it should be called a thunderstorm when it snows also then, because it is a snow storm
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:52 (sixteen years ago)
nope
― am0n, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:54 (sixteen years ago)
harbl--when it rains, its called a "thunderstorm," when it snows, its called "thundersnow"
― max, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:55 (sixteen years ago)
that's just not logical ok
― harbl, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:57 (sixteen years ago)
haaaaaa
― bwoling and drifting (tehresa), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:58 (sixteen years ago)

pretty incredible that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow has no disambiguation page leading to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow_(metal_band)

i'm actually the cat man tbhwhen i went out to go to the library today a pile of snow fell off my roof and on my head. my bag was fully of ice balls. someone on cathedral has a sign on their door that says "watch out for snow above" and i looked up and there is a huge avalanche waiting to crush a pedestrian. it is v dangerous out there.
