New Hampshire Snow begins
 

New Hampshire CMP Barn 2013......


Phil is about to get a SNOW JOB........

...if the power does not go out..... tell up and show us how much you are getting.

The Hammond Barn will be blowing hard this weekend to stay ahead of the snow we will get.

Hope you have plenty of macaroni and cheese if you get snowed in.

Bob when Phil posts his first post about the NH Barn 2013 I'll sticky it :thup2:

Snow begins
 

Hi Bob

Thought pictures was the way to go with this one:

We'll see how it gets.

There restoration tie in for this is that I just came in from the shop after clearing every thing out from around BEAUTY my C60S so that if the snow gets really deep we can still get out. The problem when we get heavy wet snow over 24" is that it will slide off the roof of the garage leaving a 3' to 4' pile in front of the doors blocking both our daily driver 4x4s in.

Not uncommon to have to use the C60S to break out the drive way so that my blow truck can actually plow. Yes, I should plow with the storm and never let it get more than 6" deep but who wants to get up in the middle of the night.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers Phil

State of emergency has been declared....
 

.... for most North Eastern coastal states.

Ottawa got about 10 inches....but a fair amount of drifting in my rural areas. Cars in ditches.... one poor guy ran off the road outside of Sarsfield.... now typical telephone posts are about 100 yards apart....darn it he managed to clip one right in two pieces.

So tomorrow we blow snow...... it is deep enough at the barn the belly of the Hyundai was dragging

Canvass Winter shelters (7) are not doing too bad as the wind as kept too much snow from accumulating.

Will find out if Phil had to sleep in the Beast by this time tomorrow night.

Keep warm.

Bob

Big Storm but not the biggest we've seen
 

Hi Bob

Well it is still snowing 24 hrs. later with a goodly accumulation on the ground. Not the deepest we have seen though so no record, I have not been out to measure yet but it will be hard to measure because it has been drifting in off the lake, some places less than a foot others look close to 3 feet.

Visibility is down between 500 and 2000 feet depending on the wind.

The plow cooperative came through and plowed the driveway twice during the night so we now have 5-6 high piles in the door yard. The driveway coop opens the drive but will not plow with in 4-6 feet of building so I still have clean up to do after they are finish. Also have to wait until after the snow slides off the garage and barn roofs to clear the doors.

I'll post more pictures after I go out.

Cheers Phil

.... and move it to the Sergeant's mess if he sticks to posting snowy pictures :D

Its no better over here in New Brunswick, 120km gusts of wind and about 20 cms of snow so far, guess we are looking for it to keep up all night into tomorrow....getting shack wacky sitting in the house!

Measuring Up
 

Just got back from the Hammond Barn. We only got about 7 and 1/4 inches of snow (as measured in the lee of the barn). It is bright and sunny with a hint of wind. We got off lucky. More later under the Hammond Barn thread.

Last Post on the Storm
 

More hype than storm around us, 24-32 but as we had no snow on the ground not as bad as we have seen.

I'll Start a new New Hampshire CMP Barn 2013 Thread when I get back to working on the CMPs.

Cheers Phil
