Yes, the new forecast from NOAA where I live is about 38". Just talked to a guy in RI who is at 28" now.

I have a hilly driveway, but downhill from my garage. Snow is deeper than the snowblower is high and I can't push it into the snow at all. It's hard to push even in the garage.

Even yesterday they outplayed USA most of the game. But as I said, Hockey is one of those sports where it doesn't mean victory. Our goalie was astonishing.

I wouldn't say this is just another snowstorm. It's probably the worst since 1978. Dumping 36" now in some places.

This is probably what happened to mine. How did you confirm that? I can't push it into the snow so the auger is useless without drive.

Damn. I need that. My Ariens died in the wet snow last year. Had to have the carburetor fixed this fall. It likes slightly sticky snow, but not super wet heavy snow. Edit: It died again. Didn't move more than about 2 feet into the snow and the power to the wheels stopped. Maybe snapped an...

This is insane. I can't judge the depth here because I can't see out of any window. When I opened the sliding door a pile of snow fell in the house, so over a foot I think. Just measured, 12" exactly and not in a drift. Meteorologist said if this was Hurricane Season, the Northeast Blizzard...

Terrific game. Canada was the better team, played better but sometimes you lose those. I've watched the Bruins lose in the finals while dominating the game. Goaltending was stellar for USA. Also, if we feel any conference pride here, Hockey East provided much of the team: BU - 5 players, BC...

That is a classic.

FWD came in vogue during the energy crisis of the 70s with the Japanese imports. Then US manufacturers copied it as best they could in the 80s. But FWD was way cheaper to manufacture than RWD. Since those small cars were cheap they had to be FWD. it allowed transverse mounted engines, shortening...

The Kansas fans I know are all very tired of his act. I wonder what he does in March.

Did you say more expensive? The reason they switched it because it’s so much cheaper. Far less expensive.

FWD is an abomination. I'd rather have RWD than FWD, at least you can control the car with the throttle. FWD prone to torque steer and if you lose traction you also lose steering. Should only be used on low power small cars. Snow tires indeed are superior, but let's be honest, nobody in...

But that is what I mean. They get to the Sweet 16. The defense is strong and they are so consistent they don't get knocked out in the first weekend. I also see it as a low ceiling team that will be challenged once in the Sweet 16.

They can get to the second weekend without him if the matchups are favorable. With him they can make a final four. Of course, they can also flame out early. So can UConn with this group. I think Arizona and Michigan are unlikely to be upset before the sweet 16. Houston never seems to go out...
