We got about another 6-7 inches today I am so tired of it. we don't get this kind of snow down here so I am done with it. I made a front plow today that is angled to to push snow and am runing out of room off the sides of the driveway to push it off to with the angle. Down here in south eastern indiana we have had 3 storms in a row and know they are talking about another one this weekend already. Once I plow it down to the gravel and can see gravel here and their I would like to beable to salt it some times. I was thinking about one of them 12v atv salters since they are cheap anyone ever tried one.

:(I'm tired of snow also. The big snows were sorta fun to deal with; but since then, we just get some sleet, drizzle, and snow bursts with long cold windy spells. Yesterday we had four major car pile ups on the Interstates. About 60 cars altogether were involved. Why, you might ask? Snow bursts with 40mph winds. I wish I had a heated garage so as to do something besides view TBN...."the next best thing to seat time".:rolleyes:

Yea I am getting tired of pushing snow around. I do have heat in the garage I built a wood stove to heat the 30x40 barn. I just went out their and it was 50 in their and is like 17 outside. I started building a 4 seat dune buggy so I have been in the garage allot but have to keep pushing snow. I am heading back out know to plow one more time and I hope it is done for know.

I live up a 2.5 mile gravel road That I maintain myself. We are at 3,000 ft in the WV/Md. mountains and all this snow is starting to get to me. I walked out of the house 4 times this week in 40+ inches of snow. Thankfully most of it was froze pretty hard and I could walk on top for th most part.
I even went out and bought a new MX5100 to try and deal with it a bit better. We were snowed in for 4 days. Now we re both finally out and at work and it looks like we might get snowed out now !! I'm tired of plowing !! C'mon spring !!!!!

We have the opposite situation here in West MI. Supposed to be 2-3-4 feet of snow to the north and west but we have had almost no lake effect snow this year at all. In a normal winter we will have 10, 12, maybe 15 days with bad roads and icy conditions, this year we have had 4-5 tops. We have only had to "seriously" clear the driveway 4-5 times.

Sorry that all of those storms have been heading south! I recall 2003 being a lot like this, too. I'm sure everything will swing back around next year!

Not to much in Maine this year. We got slammed every week last winter though. I was glad I had my little tractor to plow and pile up snow with and didn't have to depend on a clumsy plow truck in my drive and turnarounds.

last year we had .1" , this year 32" so far. I am tired of shoveling all of this global warming!

We finally got some snow today worth plowing. Got about 9" of nice wet heavy stuff. Had a ball with the BX and my home made plow :)

A little too much here in the WV panhandle. My little BX2200 was able to lift one end of the roof high enough to pull the ski boat out, with my friend's JD at the other end. The pontoon has to stay until the building is disassembled. It took me several hours to shovel the snow off the roof! Most of it was 28-36" deep when I shoveled it off. Thankfully the boats are insured.

Yeah, I'm really regretting not purchasing a sub-compact tractor last Fall, as I was originally planning to do. Especially since my walk-behind snowblower broke. :mad:
