Ithought you would enjoy
When i lugged wood in at 8 pm it wasnt doing nothing.Ithought the storm was a dud.At 4.30 my boss called and asked me if i thought the crew should work.[our mill is partally outside,so snow blows in]Iwas quite surprised when he told me they had 15 inches on the ground in CENTRALMAINE where i work.So i got to play hooky,was tough to take being on the bota all day
It was a little different story here in WESTERN MAINE. After my first pass with the blower ,Melinda came out and measured in several different spots ,and we had 24 at that time.It snowed several inches after that before it stopped ,id say 28 inches was right on.
The neighbor who recently had heart problems was out shoveling a path to his garage to get his generator,because we also lost power.Like most of my neighbors the snow came so quick ,and so much a walkbehind blower was useless ,the snow came right over the top.Icleaned out his and other neighbors drives,the bota made quick work of it.I did break several shear pins,not knowing where their snow walls and rocks were,but still i was glad to help them.
As far as getting out of the cab ,i barely could.There is a slight incline down on the lawn ,and my cab settled to one side and i was done
Iwould say we got 5 feet on the ground this year,sure am glad i built my cab and bought my blower.Hard to see it in the pics ,but its there.
