Likewise.
Look up snowblower impeller mod on the net. Easy to do. It works great in slush. You basically attach a piece of rubber belting to the impellers. They scrap the impeller housing which gives you more throwing power. You will be amazed with the results in wet slushy snow. There are some good snowblower forums out there with detailed how to's.
Also, get yourself a can of Snow-Jet. Spray it on the blower and shovels beforehand.

Everything I am seeing is 2 inches or less.

When don't Heather and T-Bone, especially T-Bone, go on (and on and on and on) about things? They talk too ****ing much. That's one reason I'll listen the station over in Easton (96.7) many days. It comes in better anyway.

T-Bone & Heather tend to over dramatize things and speculate a lot. Here's what the National Weather Service is saying for NAS Pax...
Friday Night
Snow, mainly after 1am. Low around 26. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Saturday
A chance of snow before 1pm. Cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 39. Light and variable wind becoming northwest 9 to 14 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Also, here's what Fox 5 DC has to say about it....

Weatherman trust worthy? The only job I know of who can be wrong 95% of the time and STILL keep their job. I guess we'll see if they are right this time.

I've always said they should only get paid when they get it right.
And that they'd be poor slobs like the rest of us

I'm special - I don't fall under DOT rules!
But seriously, someone made a comment on my last YouTube video concerning DOT regs - maybe it was you. But we are driving pickup trucks and farm tractors, so not sure why people think we would have to follow DOT rules. These modes of transportation are exempt as far as I know, unless someone can show me otherwise. But it boggles my mind that a: that one of the things the average citizen is concerned about during a snowstorm(firestorm as well) is the snowplow operators following DOT regs, and b: that DOT would even stop a snowplow truck driver (or firetruck) and check his log books and emissions. I would imagine there are exemptions in natural disaster situations like this, but it is government we are talking about so who knows. Hell, when I'm out plowing, I don't usually stop at stop signs or red lights. If it's 2am and I'm headed down 235 with a load of salt and plow on my pickup and nothing is coming, I'm going thru the red light - ain't got time to stop - gotta make sure y'all can get to work in the morning!
Whoever was plowing on Rt-249 must have had a hell of a time taking out mailboxes.

we have mailboxes and posts in stock at Ridge Hardware - can you leave a flyer on the door of those houses? I will cut you in on the deal if they come down and buy.
