windshield wipers up… C22…

Used our FrostGuards again. No longer have to put the wipers up. No more waiting for the defroster to work or scraping windshield either. They come with side mirror covers too. FrostGuard® Deluxe + Mirror Covers

It would probably get stolen here lol

Perp would have to cut it away since they get "locked" into the car when the doors are closed over it. They could easily steal the mirror covers. that said, I only put them on when the car and truck are up in the driveway, never if its on the street out front. Like the tee shirt said, "Trust No One." When I go hunting I bring the truck up into the driveway the night before anyway.

We are getting pounded right now in the Patchogue area, the sky is literally puking snow..lol

bout the same now in Matzohpizza, forecast still says wind and snow through 4 or 5pm so I am doing squat until tomorrow.

it's over here it seems - snow has stopped & the sun is coming out
(y)
still very windy - bringing in more firewood - should have covered what I had on the back porch - eve though the porch is covered - wind drove the snow under & onto the wood I had there - should still be good to go - too cold for the snow to have melted & dapmened the wood

some power outages being reported due to downed trees - wonder how Capt1 made out being right on the water - I'll give him a call in a bit

Here's a safety hint:

What did u end up with 8 inches?

What did u end up with 8 inches?

as I mentioned earlier - really hard to tell with the way it blew around - forecasters saying 8 to 12 depending where you are (less Northampton County - more in Accomack) - if I had to guess I'd say closer to the 12' range - some 2 foot or greater drifts in my driveway & in the street in front of the house

Its more blowing and drifting here it's hard to see how much actually fell

where I have a 3 ft one here

Im pretty sure the bigger drifts are everywhere except the greater Moriches area

Is this a record breaking event for the area??

very well could be - most I've ever seen in the 8 years I've been here is about 10 4 years ago which is pretty much the last time there was any sort of consequential snowfall

actually just looked it up - we are under the record but not by a lot:
