Blizzard 2015 Boston

Why yes, it was windy.

I measured 20" in an area not susceptible to drifting. The drifts were quite a bit higher. I parked my truck at midnight with only a dusting and got up at 9am to 15" in the driveway. Oops, I wanted to plow halfway through. The pile I had at the end of my driveway ended up being higher than my truck, I had to bust through to get to the road. I got stuck a few times. It was all over the top of our walk-behind snowblowers before it was over. I got the tractor out to push back the banks only to lose a hose 20 mins in, oy.

I work in downtown Boston, and it is still a mess. Is anyone from this forum available to teach the Boston contract plow drivers, and city workers how to actually plow? Talk about morons in trucks.

Great video of snow blowing, but I have to ask, if you drive forward, does the snow come down thru the shoot and lay on the driveway?

Be safe all.

I don't stop to disengage the PTO when going forward, so what little that does fall is only what's gotten stuck behind the auger. It tosses that snow with so much force there is little to no snow in the chute or fan area. I coat the whole working area of the blower with WD-40 or silicone spray before and after every session, so very little tends to hang on.

So, to answer you're question directly, yes... some snow falls out of the blower onto the driveway, but it's minimal.

Hate it when that happens. I think the only thing more frustrating than not owning the right tool when you need it is owning it but not having it available. :mur: I lost a hose in the 14" storm immediately preceding Snowmageddon in 2009-10. Fortunately I was able to get out to TSC and found a replacement before the big one hit. Quite a winter for those of us down here in the balmy southern latitudes. :laughing: At about the same time, my neighbor lost the hydraulics to the loader on his JD 1050. They stayed broke until he could get them fixed in the Spring. That summer he added a Kubota M6040 to his tractor shed, just to be sure it didn't snow much for a couple more years.
