Snow Blower da Jim Munson

Dampfschneeschleuder Henschel im Eisenbahnmuseum Neustadt an der Weinstraße.

Diese 1942 von Henschel in Kassel gebaute Schneeschleuder hat einen stehend eingebauten Dampfkessel, der ausschließlich das Schleuderrad antreibt. Die Schneeschleuder wird mit angehängter Lokomotive (oder mehreren) gegen den Schnee gedrückt und ist in der Lage mehre Meter hohe Schneemassen aus dem Schienenbereich zu räumen. 

Henschel steam snow blower in the Neustadt an der Weinstraße Railway Museum.

This snow blower, built in 1942 by Henschel in Kassel, has a vertically mounted steam boiler that exclusively drives the blower wheel. The snow blower is pressed against the snow with a locomotive (or several) attached and is capable of clearing snow masses several metres high from the track area.

Today the Toro company could have filmed a kick-ass TV commercial at my house. The 15″ of fresh snow was light powder. My Toro snowblower is pretty big. I was throwing snow 25 feet vertically and about 40 feet horizontally.

After clearing the driveway and patio I made another race track around the back yard for the dogs.

Some neighbors have a roommate, a guy about my son’s age. He was out there wearing jeans instead of snow pants and wielding a plastic shovel against the snow. Perhaps he was working off some of the rent payment.

A city snow plow left about three feet of heavy snow at the end of our driveways. I went over to clear the bottom of that other driveway. The guy was so relieved.

Later, another neighbor asked to borrow my snowblower because his is broken. I don’t mind doing the work myself. It’s fun. But I had to get back to office work and gladly let him use my Toro. I was rewarded with a 12-pack of Surly beer. Have fun with the snowblower or get free beer? There’s no wrong answer.

we left at 11 but all we were doing was clearing snow. had a lilt routine of guy on a snow blower -> guys with shovels -> guy with a backpack blower -> salt spreader (me). god what a shit day

[thevoiceofdesertbluffs]

Just saying. I would not hate snow (and, to an extent, winter as a whole) as much as i do if i wasn't the one who has to shovel the driveway 💥

[lady-assnali]

Shoutout to my neighbor, I don’t like him all that much BUT he did come plow our driveway after he did his because it’s very long and it had been like half an hour and I only got about 15% done shoveling it.

I just uttered the phrase "what kind of person doesn't have a screwdriver of each type within arms reach at all times??" and I realize that perhaps I have been working at the hardware store for too long.

Woke up to: Trail of blood going from our front door and ending “abruptly” at the back of mav’s truck

-It ends abruptly because our entryway was desnowed. Yet theres no proof of the trail continuing anywhere else outside of the desnowed area.

-There is a small part on the patio where neither us nor the dogs have walked on that has a small trail of blood, along with medium sized animal tracks.

-The tracks are about Annie sized, but if he had been the one bleeding, the house would be a mess.

-The tracks don’t seem to “leave” from our door

me a week ago at my job: hey daytime manager no one knew there was a whole bdc truck outside, dayside needs to start working on communication and put in a bit more effort esp now we don't have a closer.

daytime manager lying through his teeth: oh ofc! i'll pass the message along but dayside is doing everything they can :)

EVERY SINGLE PERSON I PASS today including the same dayside manager: oh el!! there is a drywall truck outside, but i'm saying it in a slightly condescending way like you don't know what you're doing.

me, gritting my teeth bc this is what i asked for but not what i wanted: yes. thank you. i saw the giant semi parked out front when i pulled in. i appreciate it.

me down at my department looking at random shit all over the place: hey, do you know what dayside wants me to do with this?

everyone i ask: uh. no. no clue.

me on the verge of burning this place to the ground: perfect. lovely. this this the exact communication i wanted. thank you. :)
