The forecast for that area, and elevation, is for about an inch of snow Monday night, and 6"~12" on Tuesday, with temperatures dropping into the 30's, and possibly another inch on Wednesday.<br /><br />That should help quite a bit!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-41425246099702516372020-09-06T14:44:00.140-07:002020-09-06T14:44:00.140-07:00Hopefully the 'incoming' weather will knoc...Hopefully the 'incoming' weather will knock the fire down!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-61769112473550537082020-09-05T20:23:33.226-07:002020-09-05T20:23:33.226-07:00We have one of those monthly "free" pape...We have one of those monthly "free" papers show up when the weather is nice, but I don't recall seeing them during snow season. I check the local news on-line, so no paper delivery here.<br /><br />OH, Lordy! I spent many agonizing hours messing with the scraper blade and the skid shoes. I know every single lump-and-bump in this driveway and sidewalk area, and I know where the abrupt level changes are. Got a cast iron water valve cover smack-dab in the middle of the driveway, and it sticks up about an inch. Wonder if they make "low profile" caps? I wrote down what finally worked for the skids and scraper, so I'll have a starting point.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-19702554663315294942020-09-05T19:34:02.831-07:002020-09-05T19:34:02.831-07:00A wet or wet/frozen newspaper will bring the impel...A wet or wet/frozen newspaper will bring the impeller to a near instant stop and you will be changing shear pins. <br />I don't think newspapers are as much of a thing as they were years ago, and I don't know if those advertising newspapers are chucked into your drive where you live. <br /><br />When it snows we do a patrol for lumps in the snow. <br /><br />Carefully setting up the scraper and the skid shoes will do much to make using the machine a good experience. <br />And maybe walk the area to look for potential high spots that would catch the scraper. <br /><br />John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-60223095548090075142020-09-05T17:48:51.295-07:002020-09-05T17:48:51.295-07:00Two fires separate from the Cameron Peak fire?
