For a while this year, the 10 to 14 year old crowd thought it was hilarious to scream penis at the top of their lungs every few seconds while on the lift. When one of their compatriots heard it, they would return the call. Thankfully that only lasted a few weeks. Not sure who shut it down but thank god it's over. Wankers.
In Ontario, there'd be these punk kids on the chairs looking down at skiers and boarders. If it looked like there was a novice coming down the slopes and they looked wobbly, they'd yell down at them, "FALL! FALL! FALL!"
I wanted to punch them in the head.
But I was too busy getting myself up from the snow...
I was referring to the lit xmas lights.

So you are saying it worked!
Many of the snowbunnies have switched to boards. No baggy pants for most of them.
As for the music, I laugh my ass off at the few with backpacks containing a bluetooth speaker. They need to spin the backpack around to the friend every time they get on a lift and I sure as hell would not want to fall on the speaker as it will wreck you.
I worked at Glen Eden as a teenager , there was always some dick that would lug a 40lb boombox the the top of the hill and blast Van Halens "might as well jump" nearly every Saturday night. Got old quickly.
It was when snowboards were actually banned in Ontario at slopes . And yes the skiis were wooden.

Learned how to snowboard at Glen Eden. Good times. Shorter lineups than Blue, but obviously much smaller. Perfect for beginners and kids. Especially the separate small hill beside the parking lot.
Back on track...snow bad. I want an ATV with a blade! Neighbour that helped me out told me he did a few runs on the main street and actually plowed the sidewalk for people.
A few other neighbourhood kids were ripping up and down with their ATVs and offering to shovel people's driveways and sidewalks. I think that's a good thing. May not be totally legal, but the ATVs had blue plates...so that counts right?

I thought you lived in Mississauga not Oshawa...
Does it matter if I mention that the ONLY people ripping on ATVs on the street are Polaks? LoLI thought you lived in Mississauga not Oshawa...

Listen here, I don't need someone yelling, "FALL! FALL! FALL!" to make me fall.
I can manage to do that perfectly well by all myself.
Are we still talking about motorcycles here?
Literally hundreds here. I think one of the neighbors has his in the Home Alone style this year. I know he did Christmas Vacation a year or so ago.
My 120 plug in is quiet and yesterday with it completely buried in snow, just the tip of the chute above the snow you could barely hear it. My driveway is short enough that a 50 foot cord does the job.
Winterizing is easy. I put the blower away and coil the cord slowly letting the electrons drip out the end so I don't have stale electrons next year.
To be honest, I tried a Ryobi 40 V last year and I think it had more power than the plug in. Unfortunately Ryobi totally unbelievably screwed up on the handle and switches. They have redesigned them and this years model seems a ton better.
My problem was that the snow plow left a windrow about four feet wide and three deep. Once I manually shoved through it I was able to knock it down to a level the 120 volter would handle.
Parked cars are a problem. A plow can't get closer than eight feet to the driveway but leaves a pile of snow. That wasn't a issue this time.
Hey, that hurts...I drive a Mazda 3
No problems here, it was fun pulling out (slowly but still made it) of my driveway and down the street yesterday while 3 SUVS on my street were stuck trying to get out of their driveways. Good snow tires, manual transmission, and a general disregard for the conditions helped.
Consider the civil servant taking that complaint:
" OK sir, you have a complaint about snow blower noise?
I am handling three lines because most of the complaint department staff can't make it in. One is on a bus sideways in a valley blocking four lanes of traffic that includes ambulances taking snow shoveling heart attack victims to hospitals over crowded by Covid 19 anti vaxxers. The over worked nurses can't make it home and their replacements can't make it in.
Have you considered talking to the neighbour after making him bacon and eggs and a hot coffee?"

I have a Snow Joe plug-in single stage. I just kept running it along the edge of the snow bank, and when the snow was higher than the blower, it would eventually fall and I'd just have to go over it again. Was easier than doing it with a shovel.
My biggest problem was the powdery snow and wind. I had to keep the chute pointed downwind, which meant sending everything to my neighbor's yard and driveway. Then I had to do half their U-shaped driveway as penance. Are two-stage throwers any better in this regard?
Yes. Two stage snow blowers can throw snow much further. They also feed more snow into the 2nd stage which helps to compress it into a tighter stream with less blowback. A single stage with light snow that isnt deep basically throws it into the air to fall again.
We’re in the backside of January and well into Peloton and Noom commercials season. If you’re going to leave your xmas lights up, at least leave the damn things off.
Crazy cat lady across the road leaves her lights up and on till late March every year. Saw her in her driveway last nite very late taking selfies with her lites in the background i assume. She wears a bunch of coloured runners safety lights on her late nite walks. Lol
