I need a plow guy!

[Jackie]

I bet we all could use a little help from a guy with a snow plow today! Anyone near Evergreen?

FoCo - 2" MAX (more like 1"+) Some lawns are still showing a fair bit of green. Streets are wet. Only on some is a small bit of slush found. Several miles up Rist Canyon west of town - about 11". Highlands Ranch is nicely covered - a foot is my guess.

I keep hearing Evergreen is slated for some big numbers. How much do you have Jackie?

[Tom]

We had about 10” on our deck this am in Longmont

[Jackie]

We got 3-feet+ at my house.

A friend of mine lives outside Evergreen and is stuck as well. He has a small plow but it wasnt enough to move all the snow. Hope you find someone!

[Jackie]

We shoveled until our shovel broke, then we resorted to snow bashing! We got out

No pictures?

I know Max wasn't looking at me - but I'll play along...

That's curious (from the engineer in me).

How do you think the shock happens?

I'd azzume battery to motor and return would be a reasonably secure circuit where moving water would not bother it. What's your thinking?

edit: Or is it static electricity - the high velocity air rushing by the small particles of snow - then zap - discharge time.

[DaveO]

I think static discharge... If you are in a cloud of snow with it running you will get a shock everytime. if you can run it with the wind -so you aren't in a cloud it is fine. I tested this on my wife and neighbor (purely for scientific reasons and NOT for my entertainment!).
