Central NJ Snow has stopped. Dig, dig dig. Local roads are a mess InfoAge is a bit south (still central) and east of me. They we're closed yesterday and are probably today as InfoAge is low man on the totem pole when it comes to plowing. When I come in on Sunday I'll bring in a shovel and make sure CDL has a clean sidewalk. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ

My brother used a gas powered snow thrower. It had some difficulty because the lower layer was slush and the rest was "heavy" snow. We had an electric one which clogged, stopped, and was pretty useless. There was a lot of hand shoveling. We had to use some "regular" shovels instead of snow shovels to break up the ice, slush and "hard" snow. We did get most of it done on Monday, and then touched up on Tuesday. At least it is warm enough to melt some of it, albeit slowly. Very exhausting work. On Mon, Feb 23, 2026 at 2:18 PM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I watched it on the surveillance cameras and did my best not to experience it more directly in any way, shape, or form! -Dave On 2/25/26 13:33, Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I pushed the snow off my car with relative ease, my father's car, the truck, and vans were a different story. For the driveway, a helpful friend and neighbor made light work of the snow as he came down our rather long driveway with a snowplow. But to my credit, Northern NJ by some miracle didn't get hit nearly as hard as Central Jersey. with snow sticking to the ground several hours after it had stuck in Wall TWP good to have friends with expensive toys :^) Thanks, Andrew Mattera

My snow story is similar to Andrew's. Just outside of Trenton NJ, we got 14 inches of snow, including a few inches of wet snow on top. A neighbor notched out the front of my driveway with their snowblower, cutting through the snowplow's tailings. Some shovelwork cleared a path past my cars and to the curb. I work from home so I took my time to clear out my car., A few days later I cleared the front of my property for a public walkway. The weather was such that the undisturbed old snow was not hard to lift-and-drop to cut a path. Maybe the snow will go away by the weekend; but there's still ice along my curb, from three weeks ago. Not much of a story. But I had a little trouble with my list account after the upgrade. This post confirms my account is active. regards Herb
