Good news is we're probably going to end up in the 4ish inch range, so I will no longer feel bad.
I was always terrible at small motor carbs until I saw the tip to just clean them in your utility sink in hot soapy water. Just need to blow everything out including the jets and let it dry before reinstalling. Works way better than carb cleaner and usually don't have to disassemble much usually just the bowl. . Never failed to clear the blockages since I've used that technique.
The real question is did Jeremy get enough...
Based on his posts from yesterday, I'm guessing no. But I will say I took the dog out for a walk last night after we got the kids to bed, and it was actually really lovely and peaceful outside. Just that way that everything is quiet, and before anybody had driven on the snow.
Tried to shovel this morning because it was 5:45 in the morning and didn't want to annoy the neighborhood. Gave up after a few minutes and got the snowblower out. I wouldn't have been able to shovel the end of my driveway without having a sore back afterward.
While it may have lacked in inches, it was real thick and wet down here in Indianola.
Only had an inch in Marion. Still got the snowblower out to power though it in no time. My nearly 8 year old did request to shovel the sidewalk so he is doing that now.
Perfect execution of snow removal at my house. When I heard the first snowblower in my neighborhood, I threw my clothes on and went outside to start shoveling. I shovel as quick as I can for 10 mins until three or four more neighbors come out with their snowblowers. Then I slow to damn near a stop with the shoveling and grab at my back a few times and before long, two of my neighbors stop over and clean up the rest of the driveway.
Clones21 was crying nonstop and then turned out to be wrong? No way!
