Holiday gathering in MA on Jan 4, 2014

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

For anyone looking at the snow coming in this week, so far it looks like it'll all fall before Friday daytime is out. They do a great job plowing all the main roads around here, and we're right on a secondary highway, so that's even better! Shouldn't be any issues at all. However, we'll be sure to update as it gets closer!

Oh, for those keeping score of the food, we'll be putting out a relish tray as well!

The truck shown uses what I beleive is the "Rapid Rail" arm system.The trucks reciprocating ram compactor operates continuously unless the driver stops it.The trash must have frozen or somehow stuck to the wheelie bin-and came loose as the arm went down.Some of those automatic trucks have what is called a "pendulum packer"The packer head swings back and forth in the hopper compacting trash as the bin dumps it in the hopper.The pendulum packers are sort of neat to watch.Someone filmed one on the "Classic Refuse Trucks" site.
 
Almost looks like the full truck kept the lid in place until it was flung back. Either way, can you say "operator error?"

Sorry we won't see you, Larry! Look like the snow will be out of here by tomorrow afternoon which means they'll have everything cleaned up in plenty of time. Unfortunately, in your job, it's gonna cause a major logjam and you'll be stuck working with it. :-(

yep, working the district and the got us working in the cold, cold streets without shelter for 12 hours.
I don't understand this city when it comes to snow removal. 12* at this hour and manually shoveling snow before it ends. Stupid!
 
Sorry guys

I REALLY wanted to be there but there's no way I can get out of my driveway now. The road I live on hasn't even been plowed yet. I'm so disappointed but I hope everyone has a good time!
 
Hey Andy- Hopefully they have you cleared soon. There are still 19 1/4 hrs. until party time!!

Scott (a.k.a. "The Bride To Be")- Yes, all parking spots have been cleared!!! According to my calculations, there are more than enough spots available now!

All roads around here are clear- the storm didn't come even close to expectations for this area. We got maybe 4-5" with maybe 8" drifts due to the winds.

See you all soon (and it's never too late to just show up either!)!
 
Roads are fine now here so I'll be up with GadgetGary. The other evil-doer isn't able to make it, unfortunately.

Hummus, cheese, & crackers will be my contribution if that works.
 
Missing all the festivities in MA.  Oh well, we have my wife's work Christmas party tonight at the local country club, and it's open bar all night looong.  Grey Goose gimlets, straight up.
