Got dumped on last night

Hopefully this is one of the last major snowfalls of the season; but in the mean time lets see some of your pics/videos of snow and snow removal. Should keep us sane till spring time.

20 days til Daytona Beach. This winter has been non stop. I'm ready to cruise A1A on a Harley! :cloud9:

We got maybe an eighth of a inch.

WE got 20" here in VT.

Up at 3AM blowing snow, too teed off to take pix.

Nothing but a "Bone-chilling" wind, & light snow here in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts.
Quite a difference from the 65 degree temps on Tuesday!
All my puddles in the yard froze solid, nice ice skating rink now!

got about 8 inches here, but with the wind, we ended up with some 2 foot drifting.
PITA snowblowing our gravel driveway because the top couple inches had thawed over the last few days.
Was okay doing the neighbours paved driveway for him, they're gone to South Pacific for 4 weeks.
Woulda thought he'd have asked us to come along.:confused3: instead he asked me to clear his drive so it wouldn't look like nobody was home.

He obviously values your tractor more than your friendship...lol

Will post a few vids shortly of snow removal today

don't know why you don't blow the snow down wind...
don't you clear that neighbours driveway for him ?:laughing:

I suppose if you weren't taking a video, you'd have a hot coffee in your left hand...
I'm a tad jealous, when I blow I'm out in the cold wind, facing backwards...:drool:

We got about a foot. I almost side swiped my truck with the plow while backing up and turning it was really close. That would have ruined my day. :shocked:

Thanks Mo I do like that shot of the dawnserlylight(1) showing the drifting. Not bad for a cellphone shot from the tractor seat.

VT does your tractor push this depth away in one shot of do you have to skim some first with what looks to be an 8' plow?

I plowed this storm a total of four times so didn't try to do the whole thing at once. It will walk through a four foot drift in one pass if the drift isn't the full width of the road or more then say fifty feet long. It is having some place to push it to that matters. I had one spur that is not essential that I left for last and plowed full depth. I ended up making four passes on that to get it over the banks and cleaned up so there was no advantage to waiting. . The picture taken at dawn shows some pretty good drifts and I walked through them with no problem but I came back after daylight and pushed the banks back and then re-cleaned the driving lane. A proper wing would be useful and is on my get-it list.

I am glad this past storm stayed north of us. Sorry VT,NH and ME. I do like seat time but this winter has been a pain in my AXX. I want to play in dirt now not the white stuff anymore.:hissyfit:

Just like rubbing it in...

Yes I do but I try and keep everyone's snow on their own lawns; keeps the hassles down.

I actually usually have something cold to drink as it gets pretty hot in there even with the 3 speed heater fan in the off position.

Picture is of the snow accumulation so far...hoping it doesn't melt all at once.
