Matt39 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 What a dud. It's been downgraded from 24-30 to just 10 by me. Good Judging by the reporting you'd think the city were getting nuked. Can you guys fund a FIRE LONNIE QUINN banner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The last time NY really got hit by a bad winter was 95-96. Just looked up the numbers and Central Park accumulated 75 inches of snow that winter! Most of these snow storms just get overhyped nowadays it seems.

After nyc blew it back in 2010 or 11 they have to take every precaution...over hype and be glad if there's less or be right and pat themselves on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked up the numbers and Central Park accumulated 75 inches of snow that winter! Most of these snow storms just get overhyped nowadays it seems. Half of that was in one storm . The 36 inch January 96 storm. And 4 days after that ended we got another 10 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Lose your minds accordingly. Cue Lonnie Quinn and his sleeve-rolling d00shiness. I just watched him on the 11:00 lead and there he was inside the studio....sleeves rolled up, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAR I Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I would kill for some Good & Plenty or Raisinettes right now. Would I get a summons if I sneak out and drive to a convenience store? SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Dont know where you live. but if you're in the 24-30'' zone and you plan on driving in snow accumulating at 3-4 inches an hour you may get close to home and then hit an impenetrable wall of snow when you reach your road (if you live in suburbia). this happened to me in January 1996 and it sucked. so close but yet so far. In Brooklyn anyway that's media hype. A fraction of that so far. Hope it stays no worse than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Half of that was in one storm . The 36 inch January 96 storm. And 4 days after that ended we got another 10 inches I felt like dying shoveling the driveway that winter. You shovel, the plows pile a mountain at the foot of your driveway, and then like two hours later another 6 inches had fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We still had about a foot and a half by me, but the governor's travel ban was a total win. Saw maybe three cars on the road on my drive home at 7AM. I'm hoping for more travel bans in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Dude your wife is right! if you plan on retiring and doing absolutely nothing you probably won't live very long. You gotta keep moving. Also I enjoy drinking beers and shoveling or using the blower after the storm is over. Agree I guess a body in motion stays in motion.

Jetworks Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Agree I guess a body in motion stays in motion. Absolutely. After I retired I got a gym membership so I could continue working out, took up bike riding and started pursuing a second career that doesn't entail me sitting on my duff all day. Do all you can to maximize the chances of you collecting that pension for a loooooong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It eats the surface on concrete you will notice small chips like corn flakes this spring coming off the sidewalk That's salt that does that. Magnesium chloride flakes are the best. You don't have to use that much and it doesn't leave an oily residue on pavers (like calcium does) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you just had a sh*tty mason do your sidewalks? Cleanup? The joints in the pavers take the sand and other areas I use a blower to blow it into the grass its good for the soil especially if you live in an area where theres a lot of clay. My mason is good been in business over 30 years. Another option I use for when its really icy is the propane flame thrower works really well.

Thats your OPINION any type of chloride will damage concrete and paver surfaces it may not happen immediately but over time you will have damage,please let us know down the road what happened to your pavers and concrete. http://www.idealconcreteblock.com/tl_files/downloads/FAQ-pdfs/Deicing-Advisory.pdf At low concentrations magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and calcium magnesium chloride (CMA) can cause measureable damage. At high concentrations, CaCl2, MgCl2 and CMA can attack cement paste causing significant damage that results in the loss of material, reduced strength and increased porosity. In light of this information, we recommend sand as the preferred method for providing skid and slip resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
