Deadly Storm: 'Snowmageddon' Sweeps US

4:11pm UK, Saturday February 06, 2010

James Jordan, Sky News Online


The east coast of America is being hammered by the
worst snow storm the area has seen in 90 years.

Washington is expected to be hit by record snowfall

Records amounts of snow - up to 30ins - are
expected to be dumped on the Washington area.

The US capital is bearing the brunt of the storm as the
National Weather Service (NWS) puts the Washington-Baltimore
metropolitan area under a rare 24-hour blizzard warning.

Some 23ins of snow had fallen by Saturday morning.

The storm, dubbed 'Snowpocalypse' and 'Snowmageddon'
by many locals, stretched from Indiana to Pennsylvania
and into parts of New York and North Carolina.

Re: S N O W _ Shovels

Whereabouts in Shaw did you go Ejay.  At the moment I am stuck using a heavy garden shovel which doesn't do any favours for my back!

It would be good to get a decent snow shovel so that I can clear the snow just after it lands and hasn't had a chance to compact and form into ice.

We could also do with the council emptying the grit bins of that gravel they put in there a few weeks ago.  I put some down on the road / pavement a couple of days ago and it just turns into a dirty muddy puddle and doesn't really help with preventing ice forming.

Now that the stock levels are back up to normal (or at least they should be!) then we could do with the grit bins being filled with grit again.  There has been some fairly bad frosts recently and the roads have been very slippy.

The other day when you drove passed me I couldn't get the passenger door open as it was frozen.  I had to get the missus to sit in the back seat like a passenger in a taxi default/big_smile

Someone who thinks logically, provides a nice contrast to the real world.

Re: S N O W _ Shovels

Bought one for £8 on friday on Shaw Market St, the shop was opposit the Blue Bell Pub and had stuff on the street, it was asian owned and two of us went in for one, red plastic head and a loose wooden stale that needs shaping to fit the socket all the way down- i will do this and varnish and put a screw in later, seperate they can be stored easily.  The shop owner had been down to Birmingham for them and a large box of plastic heads were in the shop with more loose handles alongside, he said he had sold 250 last week alone so with 50 in a box he must have had a big van.

All in One had black headed ones at £9 reduced from £10 with the stales fixed in place.  No other shop in Shaw sold them as i checked- have i been overcharged? im going back.

Re: S N O W _ Shovels

I bought one in Uppermill £9.95 Black with a very sturdy wooden handle..came from the South of England so there. default/smile
