Well, it's not tractor related, but it IS Nemo related.

We are getting the extended version of Nemo. Some of the pics are from today... some are from the storm last week. We have been getting on average a storm once a week for the last 4-5 weeks. 9418 to 9413 (bottom row)are from today. We are getting the second front now and more to come via Maine tonight and tomorrow morning. Spent 3 hours blowing snow this morning and will go at it again tonight and again tomorrow.

Lloyd_E I think you have alot more coming your way! I live in central Maine and it is snowing harder here right now than it did all night. The wind has let up a little but the snow hasn't.

First time since I bought the tractor that I've had a chance to use it. I spent about 4 hours in the seat today between my driveway and the neighbor's. Usually I plow with my Yamaha Rhino that I've got a 6 ft plow for. I used the Rhino all through Snowmaggeden in 2011 but this storm was different. In 2011 we had one storm after another so our total snow on the ground was a lot more but we didn't get the amount in one storm that we got last night.

Rhino plowing in 2011:

Mailboxes at the end of the driveway this morning:

I started out with the Rhino this morning....not so much. We had 24+ inches on the ground and it was drifting deeper. Of course the tractor was in the garage parked behind my truck so first I had to clear out enough space to get the truck out in order to get the tractor out. Between the Rhino and my snowblower I was able to do that.

The tractor performed great. I put a Piranha toothbar on it and in 20/20 hindsight I should have removed it for snowplowing, but I still got the job done. The snow was deep enough that I was only able to push the snow about 20 feet at a time before the tires started to spin. Other people have posted that R4's suck in the snow....they are totally correct. By the end of the day I had mountains of snow piled all along the edges of my driveway and my neighbor's, so my little orange tractor accomplished the mission. The last storm that we had like this was in 1978 so it won't break my heart if we don't get another one like it for another 30 years.

Of course the dog was none too happy, the snow was over her head so I had to make a "Potty trail" for her in the snow.

Teika after her afternoon potty break, feeling much happier now....

I hope all the rest of you in New England who got hit with the storm are safe and able to get yourselves out.
