Snow good news, bad news, with snow clearing

[uglyboywith11fingers]

I watched the snow fall all day, we had no place to go, so I waited 'til the snowfall ended this evening to clear out our 200ft driveway. I was just about out to the road on my first pass with my BX24/B2781 blower, when she quit blowing.
The good news... I found todays newspaper that I couldn't find this morning at 7AM.
The bad news... sheared the pin/bolt on the impeller when the newspaper got caught in there.
The good news... 10 minutes later, a new bolt was in place, and I was back to blowing.

It's a beautiful night out there now, clear skies. Looks like we had about 12 or more inches of snow.
Hope it doesn't blow/drift too much overnight.

We got about 30" from this Blizzard over here. I'm sure giving the B3030 and Meteor Snowblower a work out.

Only about 20" for us but some pretty good drifts.

Had to run the B3030 a few times and help some neighbors. When you own a Kubota, you are king of the road.

Went out to do a quick pre-clean of the driveway ... And promptly hit a piece of firewood, AKA insta-shearpin destroyer. That put and end to that idea. Wasnt going to change shear pins when the wind was whipping around at 40 kph Oh well, the snow will still be there later when the wind dies down

I got 6" of light fluffy if I sneeze and it blows away snow, I feel cheated! I did not get enough snow for them to even open the snowmobiles trails back up! I'm Sad.

About 24" here with drifts over 5ft. Spent 5 hrs clearing my driveway and three neighbors. Lots of tractor fun time

I did that once clearing my neighbors drive (young with no kids) and hit his frozen paper using my JD LX188 and 36" blower. About shook me off the seat. 2 winters later, I still skip his driveway. No more nice neighbor to him. Philip.

Not having much luck with shears Wind died down so i installed a new shear in the blower (after having to modify a stupid guard), got about 70% through the cleanup and proceeded to break another shear on a piece of ice.. this time it was the PTO shaft shear Said "frig it!!" and finished with the bucket... Which takes probably 5x as long.. Gah. No luck at all:hissyfit: lol
