OT: Severe Weather Discussion III

[PWJunior]

Just stopped snowing in northeast Queens. Seems to be around 5 inches of powder. Skiers delight.

All in all, it wasn't too bad here in Corona where my office is. The snow has tapered off at this point. Hopefully by the time I get home to Great Neck, things won't be too bad there either.

Another dud.

Been shoveling for the last hour, f*** the snow!

My wittle electric blower crushed my driveway and half the court in like 25 mins.

It's no V8 gas powered blower though, not into compensation.

Electric outdoor power tools are for people who have no business using power tools.

Wait until Elon gets a hold of the power tool business.

Idk where you are, but we had probably 4-6” of snow yesterday in Northern Suffolk

Ive used electric blowers and electric power washers and they’re trash. Personally, I wouldn’t buy electric outdoor tools, I feel like they’re for people that aren’t the least bit handy.

maybe in the future they’ll be better but from what Ive used, I’m not impressed.

I'm living in Kansas City. Three inches is like nine inches in New York.

It's enraging. The city has no concept that it should be able to clear 3 inches in a few hours. It takes a day and a half and it's completely half-assed. If you don't have a FWD car or 4x4, you're officially f***ed.

are we done on LI for the forseeable future?

Seems like warmer temperatures and rain for now.

I've used electric/chargeable tools and gas.

Unless you are a landscaper and need the power and durability of a gas machine -- or have acres and acres of ish to manage, you are fine with electric.

Most of my rationale is that I HATE two cycle gas engines. They suck and are a PITA. A four cycle gas engine is far superior, but again -- you probably don't need all that power (and cost).

Two stage gas snowblowers are the way to go if you have the space to store them. I have a single stage gas snowblower and its fine as long as I'm not in a rush.

Power washers are kinda the same -- electric is fine if you aren't in a rush or aren't very dirty. that being said, I bought a 3100psi gas power washer and its my favorite manly tool in the garage (besides myself of course)

Don't mind the rain at all. I hope it rains all week so it can melt all of this f***ing snow.

Keep an eye on Tropical Storm Henri as it'll make a close shave to the US coast late this weekend.

Def bears watching… though unless it speeds up or the trough digs further and/or is stronger, I think it stays east of us

let’s hope!

Just rain already and get it over with. NYC is like a steam bath today.
