Above weaverville 3k 3inches in last few hours expected up to 14inches tonight and it looks like it will be close if it keep up, cold cold cold.
‘4000 here. Between the ville and the fork.
8″ in the last 4 hours. Impressive!
Forecast max has gone down from “40 to “30.
And now for Wed. evening it looks like the warm storm is taking over and we turn to rain, before they were thinking snow.
If you live in flood prone areas near rivers heads up over the next 2 weeks. I would prepare for the worst right now.
Kettenpom and zenia are a mess, lots of snow on roads, turning to mush as the rain comes in
Snow was sticking on the Alderpoint road near the junction with the road to Harris by 4pm this afternoon, and it was falling pretty steadily. Snow on the road was worst on the Garberville side, extending for about a mile toward Garberville,
do you know how alderpoint road is from bridgeviille to blocksburg and then blocksburg to alderpoint and down to g.ville? ..traveling Friday..
Over a foot of snow and 2.5ft snow drifts fierce winds snow blowing sideways looks like a good storm tonight weaverville, 3k ft elevation
Now this is what I call a “snow” shovel….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M59GXeBjfQo
If you are freaking about the snow on your roofs check this out, I am in fabrication mode with 18 inches on one building before when this storm hit https://avalanche-snow.com/. Hoping there is something to use it on in the morning.
Funny chuck,
I have many tools for life, but I find that a sturdy leaf rake does a ton of snow work sans lifting with a shovel. (If I need a shovel I’ll get the plow)
I clear a light-slope shed roof with a rake. I like the tool you posted to, it would do a touch better I think. Thanks.
Been raking for years, this one isn’t going to cut it, not by a long shot. I have to move 250,000 lbs of snow by Monday and I am 50 next month. I’ll work smarter.
I used to do snow removal for a living in truckee… I’ve run snow blowers on roofs. I’d use coal shovels instead of those garbage aluminum. I also had some custom snow shovels that worked like large levers to get snow off roofs in big chunks, but they’re only effective on metal roofs.
Love it, that looks like it works better than a rack.
