Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Snow Is Coming!!!

Looks like another 6" or so for the mid-Atlantic states later this week. Good practice for CompactTractorFan. Gotta get good before you start begging for Nor'easters.:laughing: You're probably hoping for another winter like last year, when we got 3 storms in the 18"-24" range. I hope I never see another winter like that again. You'll find out the limitations of that BX real quick.

Hey Andy -- I'm not far from your (Hershey, PA).
I'd much rather have a winter like last year than the two winters before when we got mostly ice storms. I can at least move the snow. The ice is a major PITA.

Last winter was rough. I've got a steep driveway and of course the starter on my tractor needed to be pulled and rebuilt when I was supposed to be plowing. Had to get my neighbor to dig me out with a tracked skidloader after that second storm in February. Not that I was going anywhere, because the road I live on was impassable for the entire week. But I agree, snow is much easier to deal with than ice.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I got my drive nicely cleared, headed to work and got...maybe a 1/4 mile.
After about 90 minutes-two hours, a front end loader (chained all 4 wheels) cleared the road enough so I could get back home.
I was lucky enough that a man clearing his drive (with a walk behind blower) cleared in front of my truck so I could get on his drive for those 90-120 minutes.
We were pretty accessible after two days though.

We were going to get 1"-2" w/rain or just rain...Tonight the weatherman says 6"-10" tomorrow night...

Our weather people are bragging now they were right; we are getting 9"-12" of snow today/overnight...The other day they said we would get some sleet/rain...:confused2:

What town are you in....probably heading up to Jefferson for some bunny action....don't what the mutleys to be swimming in this white stuff...

Too much down here......we got 18-20"

Just noticed your post so I hope you came up and had some good bunny running. I live in Lancaster not far from Jefferson but I think they got more snow then us.
