Weather

the plows have arrived - shocking

That's earliest I've seen them after a storm since I lived here. And they've VDOT plows not Town. They usually pend their time out on RT 13.

Visibility down the street seems to have improved somewhat here. Still coming down. Have no idea what snow totals will be. The solar lights on my railings and the TrakRak on my truck are completely bare. That NEVER happens. All three of our doors have snow up against them from between 6 to 12 inches. Ordinarily that would be somewhat alarming, but evidently I have well insulated storm and main doors as there is no sign of melting and the snow is just powder, easily pushed aside. I am going to watch TV and shovel tomorrow.

I can't see the water, ~ 150 ft away, and lighthouse barely visible on Webcam. Blowing stink for sure...

Cleared the driveway this morning, combo shovel and snowblower, breaking out was a biatch, 3 feet at the entrance from the plows....took a drive around grabbed some coffee. Nothing like new tires and 4wd!

Less to clear later tonight

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

I think so but my snow blower agrees

Haha...I thought that Lighthouse was the back or side of your property all this time!!

Pretty much over in Astoria, hard to tell from 14 stories up but I would guess 6ish inches. Our maintenance guys are out doing a nice job with their toys.

We still got the wind.

Just cleared (again) all the snow off the fuel line into the house on the above ground oil tank.

I could be wrong but I’ve dealt with some freeze ups over the years when the oil gels in the line with that type of set up
I believe the “antidote” is to add a bit of kerosene to the tank to help prevent that?

Still pounding out here non stop since midnite

Yeah I think they have some chemicals as well that reduce the freezing temp? but not sure. One year I was very low on oil and the stick was frozen in the bottom of the tank!!

I have a long run to the furnace in the basement (about 30 feet). I added two Tiger Loops a couple of years ago, on the hot water heater and the furnace. It keeps the suction really good so the oil flows.

the snow may have stopped & the sun maybe out but we're getting some horiffic wind gusts

You cant tell if the snow stopped or if the sun is out?

Oh never thought of that :p :eek:

Snooze 12 is coming up with some numbers and the rate of snowfall has really tailed off (as of right now) here in Matzohpizza. Supposedly, probably as accurate as china virus infection and death rates, Matzohpizza has 16", Smithtown 20", and Seaford just 12".

Snow stopped at LGA. SKIES ARE CLEAR
