Of course we do. Down here it's a welcome treat. It brings out the inner child in everyone. Up where you live, it's one of the reasons people move down here.  ;D

You are so right.  I often wonder exactly why it is I live in this climate - I have yet to discover the upside of cold!

There's only one upside I can think of, and it has chairlifts and hot tubs involved...

They are prediciting a chance of a bit more of the white stuff for this area Friday night/Saturday...it's always a guessing game where the line will be between snow/rain.  The two day break will give the stores a chance to stock up on bread and milk again.... :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

It began to snow this morning and has not let up all day here in the frigid north.  Temperatures are predicted to drop into negative territory for the weekend and next week.

I used to do the chairlift activity you refer to, but there was an incident with a youngster on a snowboard and my right knee a decade or so ago - so now I am relegated to hot tub activity...  :-\

That is the second most fun thing to do at a ski resort...a cold brew, a hot tub, a nice lady, and a view of the mountains...hell, who needs to ski?

How many therms or Btu's (typically) do you throw at the snow and ice to make it go away?   :nixweiss:

Ok, never thought to heat electically.

How many kw's (or Mw's) does it consume?  Electrically heated?   :confused5:
The meter must dang near spin off the house!  Unless it is 480 service ?!  :2vrolijk_21:
Just a curious monkey....

The V-8 Curtis is attached for no apparent reason....She is a beaut!

Love the Curtis.  Is that made by Curtis Wright?  The old factory still stands in Buffalo.

Howie has a different thread about his snow melter.  He has something like two low temp gas boilers connected in parallel with each producing 150k BTU or there abouts.  His driveway, sidewalk, and back yard are plumbed with tubing under concrete or pavers to circulate the warm water through on demand.  I'm too lazy to find the thread for reference here but I just saw it a couple days ago.  Nice set up, if you can afford all the concrete.  I'd also have to think you need to keep it above freezing simply to keep the lines from freezing and breaking inside the concrete.

Just keep your loose clothing away!  Didn't they wear scarfs then?
