Snow Equipment Owning/Operating First snow of the year

We had to drive to town and back through a blizzard last night to catch Bob Dylan in concert. It was well worth it but we woke up to this.

Soon it will be time for the snowblower.

Our new Vermont made Hearthstone wood stove is nice and warm.

There's always something special about the first snow of the year! We haven't had any accumulating snow yet, but we did get a slight dusting last night. It's all gone now, though, since the sun came out.

Looks nice and peaceful.

yes it does look pretty nice.
A dozen years ago when my knees were better I couldn't wait for Searchmount to get snow , so I could get up the double chairlift for wonderful downhill skiing.

Now I can't wait to get a decent amount of snow so I can try out my Kubota BX2660. Ours melted already.

My tooth bar is due in from Markham by Friday I hope.
So will put it on this weekend and try it out once .....then take it off for winter !

Ah the toys we need to enjoy the weather !

Jake-you will love that toothbar

Much of the snow is still on the ground here. I need it to melt so I can finish my dead tree felling and skidding work. I had hoped the ground would freeze before we got any snow.

Woke up this morning to our first snow of the season here.
Just enouh to almost cover the grass but it's been snowing all day so far.

We are getting our first snowfall in earnest today and tonight (a foot or so). It doesn't look like it is going to melt and more snow is expected on Thursday and Friday - so the adventure begins.

We are in a lake effect snow warning right now. It goes from 10 tonight to 4 tomorrow. We could get a foot, but I don't usually believe the weatherman until it's over. If it wasn't for lake effect we wouldn't really have that much snow each year. Gotta love lake effect snow!

 

[Northland]

Yes, I see that my American brothers just south of me are getting big snow warnings. We canucks to the north of you are only suppose to get a light 4" dusting of snow
