Blizzard pics anyone?

I've seen the news about the snow the East coast was getting, (we now have the tail end of Jonas, but wet and 60mph winds) and we had a feature on BBC radio regarding how the heart attacks go up around this time because of shovelling the snow. Is that true, that its a legal responsibility you guys have to clear any snow outside your house, sidewalks etc?

In the valleys of Utah, you have 24 hours after a winter storm to clear your walkways otherwise face fines. Our valley house has to get cleared, and we have people do that for us when we aren't down there... it's a pain, but we have plenty of hardware to do it.

You have to move the snow from the walkways onto your own property in the valley (just means use the snowblower and shoot the snow into your lawn).


Our mountain house, they don't care what you do... they just don't want you making snow banks on the road if you don't plan on cleaning up the road.

That was actually one of the high points of the week end for us... the county (the same people that hadn't shoveled the damned road) posted something on their FB page warning people that we have 48 hours to clear sidewalks in front of the house and listing a phone number that you could call to report your neighbours if they didn't comply! The fun part was watching the page blow up with comments of where they could put the snow and how big a shovel was going to be used to shove it there! It was promptly deleted and an apology issued. Nonetheless, yep, we (theoretically) have 48 hours to clear sidewalks in front of house.

That's my neck of the woods!

Why Lake Gaston?

Looking for something lakefront with a lift (and LESS SNOW! lol) Housing prices and taxes seem to fit the bill. Far enough south to get better weather but not so far from NJ that it's not driveable for relatives and friends. I do love that all the lakefronts seem to have lifts.

bronze_10, are you closer to Raleigh? You must use Falls Lake alot?

Hey BTW...if anyone has any info/opinion about life in the Henrico/Littleton/Roanoke Rapids area, I'd love to hear.

 

[bronze_10]

Roanoke rapids nc ?

 

[Billtex2000]

Yes. Thinking about buying in Henrico or Littleton on the lake, but am curious about Roanoke Rapids since it appears to be the closest for shopping, dining, medical, entertainment, etc.

 

[bronze_10]

Roanoke rapids.... pffttt... is that enough? It's not a real nice area.. a depressed area but u don't have a lot of choices..

Wish we got some of that snow. I've got 3 Yamaha snowmobiles doing nothing in a trailer.

Put another log on the fire and grab a Molson! It looks like a long time until boating season.
