80" of snow this week.

I expect most have heard of the snow storm in Upstate NY. I am in the place you read about. My house got 80" in a few days. It was pretty intense. I run a Kubota M6-111 hooked to a Cyclone 92" inverted blower. I hear everyone saying the inverted is no good in deep snow. Maybe it is not the...

Wierd for me. Just a little south and the typical Lake Affect snow stayed abnormally north. Summit is usually right in the tracking. Waking up to 20-40" of snow , after the weatherman tells us not to expect any, is typical. High elevation is to blame. I drive 6 miles off the hill and roads are dry.

Don't have any really good pics as I work alone and pulled some hours this week. I did run into one drift that was higher than the nose of my M6. Here is what I did take.

Been snowing here for the past 48 hours. Not high volume but flower like snow with our temps near or below zero.

I was teaching the the 13yo neighbor boy the finer points of snow plowing today. Like to see more?

NW Montana has been a bust so far for winter, I'm about ready to take off all the snow removal gear. I've used the snowblower once so far, its been a real Donald Duck winter.

Just the opposite here. Not a lot of snow, just a bunch of 2,3,4 inch nuisance storms. The biggest so far was 13" but the road gets just as slick with a 2 incher as it does with a big storm.

I normally have to plow an average of 8 times per winter. So far this season, I'm up to 10 and the heavy snow months are just starting.

We have been seeing snow here on the south shore of lake Superior. Seems we are below average but not terribly.

In Western Pa we've had a remarkable snowy winter in Jan. It's warmed up lately the last few days but they are expecting a return to cold and snowy again for Feb too. Time will tell if the Groundhog in Pa is correct for us.

Had to use the snowblower three or four times this year so far. Hooked up the box blade yesterday to deal with a few inches of fluff that fell for aesthetics. That's been it. There is between one and two feet of snow in the bush here. Winters are completely hit and miss with snowfall here.

Only nuisance storms here except for 8"+ on Thanksgiving day. I've plowed several times, used the snow blower zero times. We're way behind on snow fall, but there's plenty of winter remaining.

What tires are you running?
Are you pleased with them?

I went with BKT Ridemax and am pleased with them this winter so far.

We've had a normal winter here in Houghton MI and my snow machines are starting to show it. That is 5 days out of the week trails are being groomed and snow is plowed. Right now I got multi system in need of service and I'm only addressing the high priority failures..

Got to brush the rust of the tractor after not being started in 4 weeks. 4'' of fluff and 0F

I can hear that. I actually placed my tractor under a battery maintainer because i wasnt using it…….first winter since i can remember.

 

[fishhead]

we've had so much slop I just left my rear blade on- could have blown this week but i wanted to get the edges bladed and packed before blowing. Too our road is on a south facing mountain and there was enough warmth to keep rock fall going till not to long ago- finally frozen and the rock cleaned up- figure that means a thaw coming soon

We normally average 50" per season here. The record was 120" in 1994. The lightest Winter we've had was 2 years ago when we got just 11"

I guess everyone gets a turn in the barrel.
