Snow On The Way Long Island
Original Message   Feb 20, 2005 2:28 pm
Amounts increased to 4"-7" and will start coming down hours earlier than originally predicted.  Have a good one, Long Islander's

Looks like we only got about 4".  I still used the snowblower because this was the coldest it has been since I made the modifications to my carburetor.  I really wanted to see how it ran in 24 degrees.  Engine ran flawless and started on the first pull.

That the same amount we got, about 4 inches on the roads but 6 on the grassy surfaces.  Didn't use the blower though.

The blizzard I so hoped for decided on an coastal cruise instead of touring the inland.  Oh it did snow - but not nearly enough.  Can't wait until the next one!

We got 7" but that makes over a foot in the last week.  Not too shabby!   Snowblower is earning its keep this winter.   Monday/Tuesday does not look like much of an event in our forecast so far.    -Bob

Just brought  the two beasts in the garage. I'm ready and waiting. There already is a winter storm warning in effect. Let's see what actually comes.... - Kris

Wow, this snow is coming down in buckets on Long Island.  Temperature suddenly dropped from 42 degrees to 27 degrees in just a few hours.  I was going to service and store my snowblower this weekend, guess not
