Panzer Division Marduk Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That storm hit here this morning. By the time it got here, it just turned into a lot of rain and wind. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman10023 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 45 min into shoveling. Maybe a third of the way through if I'm lucky. Break time. Keep thinking I have to avoid a heart attack. Can't die before seeing a Jet SB victory. you all need to get snowblowers. Did u avoid the heart attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUM-KNEE Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The Topic of the day is snow if you are in the Northeast. I hope everyone is safe and warm. Lots of flooding, hopefully the worst of that is over. How much snow is your area getting? None in Maine, and what we had is dwindling. Still cold though....

Mike135 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 you all need to get snowblowers. Did u avoid the heart attack? Ha, yup, heart attack avoided. Even after digging out my place, my neighbors (single mother) and my parents' place. 9 freakin hours of shoveling. I get to live on in hopes of seeing a Jet SB victory one day. Still sore as all hell though. I'd get a snowblower, but my driveway is rock. So don't think it'd work well. Besides, doubt any snowblower would have dented the plowed 4'x5' snow (more like cement) piles at the end of the driveways. Did luck out a bit though. Guy across the street "borrowed" a bobcat loader from his job later in the day. He dug out himself, a bunch of my other neighbors and was at least able to completely clear off the street in front of my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have lucked out of your neighbor did your driveway. But it this reminds me that I haven't shoveled my driveway yet. Will this snow be melted by Friday? I have no idea how much snow I got and my wife wants to go to e house this weekend. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, but I'd say it's doubtful. Today was probably the warmest day of the week, so hopefully it at least made a decent dent for ya. Looks like it's barely gonna hit 40 degrees next couple days. Good luck! If you're outta shape like me, just remember to take some breaks every now n then. And yeah, definitely woulda been lucky if my neighbor had done my driveway. Didn't know he'd get the bobcat. Plus had to get things done early. Next time though, may wait to see if he gets the bobcat again. Those things are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Did anyone besides Larz wax his toboggan? Is Vernon Valley // Great Gorge still functioning? I think it's now called Mountain Creek or something like that. Used to ski VV/GG all the time growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetrider Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think it's now called Mountain Creek or something like that. Used to ski VV/GG all the time growing up. Same here. Skiing makes you love winter. Also used the VV skatepark in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Did anyone besides Larz wax his toboggan? Is Vernon Valley // Great Gorge still functioning? Yes it is really nice there now. Mountain Creek. The ski slope is still so \ so, just not that big of a mountain. But they built everything up, the resort is nice I am going there with my family in a few weeks. They have an indoor pool that is connected to a heated outdoor pool. Indoor tennis, racquetball and a pretty cool gym. Really nice place we go there for a long weekend every year.

But VV's Zero-G was pretty steep in mogul sections. There was enough to make you sore the next day. When conditions were great we had a blast. I don't recall many occasions with poor conditions except at the end of the season. Hunter Mtn wasn't worth the drive and hassle, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VV/GG was a 20 minute ride from Kinnelon (straight up 23) I also liked the Zero-G.... definitely gave my thighs and Gluteus Maximus a workout. There was one lift that allowed you to jump from VV to GG. That's how I always ditched my folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rocky with a thin base and we never went back. Bad timing I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Man, I really feel for you guys. I am sorry to report that it was in the mid/high 70's here today. Ran the stairs at the beach, played 3 hours of tennis and am now slugging down IPA's as I get ready to cook salcice and peppers as my reward. I truly do miss the snow (yeah, I can drive to it but it's just not the same) but, damn, it's April -- enough is enough already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
