M's is the same way. I've seen him lift really heavy stuff, no problem. Also have watched him take a jug of milk out of the grocery cart, to put in the car, and it will go.  :(

I've learned that the angle of my back has at least as much to do with whether it goes out or not, as how much I'm lifting.  Maybe more.

We're going to be getting flurries with some accumulation for the next 4-5 days, but temperatures are supposed to get above freezing most of the days.

I noticed that it was potentially bad out there, so I plowed about 3" of extremely heavy wet snow/slush in our driveway this morning, and when I plowed my 91 year-old neighbor's driveway, he came out and paid me the $115 for what I've done so far this year on his driveway. And the damned township plowed all the snow from the street into our driveway (the plow collects all the snow and dumps it on the curve at our driveway. The driver needs to go to snowplow driver's school. This was all taken care of for the last 4 years, but now it's time to have another "discussion" with the supervisor).

When was the last time it rained? :tongue:

Near-freezing and rain today.  The birds were all over the neighbor's yard pulling up worms.

We had rain last week, prior to that two weeks ago.

Two days ago I had to spray weed killer around my fence. Things are growing.

It looks like Iowa's getting hammered with snow this evening (Sunday evening).

Is Mr Mannn around?

We're supposed to get it tomorrow.

EDIT: Now they're forecasting 6" - 10" of snow with a winter storm warning.

We've had 1.5 inches of rain today. More coming with high winds - 40mph - and thunder, then turning to snow.

Figures....daffodils are blooming all over the place.... :(

Just came in from plowing 7" of heavy, wet shit all over the driveway. Ploed 3 times today to keep up with it.

Now it's a mixture of rainy mist and sleet.

We didn't get a lot.  The roads are mostly clear, and the grass isn't even fully covered.

The time for us to get it has shifted to Thursday night (an inch) into Friday and Friday evening/night.  We're supposed to get a total of 3 to 6 inches out of it.

No snow here, but we had gusts of up to 50 mph in NC. And the crazy loadies of a few C-130's were dropping CDS bundles by parachute. Can you say, 'bad landing?' I knew that you could!
