That's a lot of snow, if you step off the groomed snowmobile trail down the street from me, you will go drop down to your armpits, pretty common here this time of the year.

We got about 4" today, more expected overnight and this weekend.

2-3 inches, I did not even bother to try out my little front chains. Waiting on the big one that is due us.

That's way to much snow for my likings. :confused2:

Maybe foot an half in woods where it drifted,lot southern fields bare.

Here is what the radar has looked like for three days South of Watertown,NY.59" as of yesterday and still coming.
Called "lake effect" ,warm lake with a westerly wind equals lots of snow.Measured by the foot.Hard to believe unless you have seen it first hand.

We're at or over 200 for this year to date.

Compared to friend from Houghton, above we are way, way behind normal. There is about 18" on the ground but it is snowing profusely at the moment

We got about a foot of wet snow with some layers of freezing rain. 30 feet ahead and then had to lift the plow and turn to dump. 2 hrs to clear the Driveway (400 yards) and turn around area. Had a nice herringbone pattern when I was done. It has slowed down now but still snowing. Where is the rain they predicted? Weatherman is now calling for 1/2 to 1" each day for the rest of the week unless it rains. The joys of living on the wet coast.

I can't imagine opening that without some sort of blower or cutter. Even with 3 or 4 feet of snow, moving it out with a bucket is unbelievably time-consuming. Ask me how I know...

Hey FatTire, Im curious what are those round yellow frames in front of the windshields? Pretty cool snow rig you have there.

Having lived the really deep snow for many years, it's a joy to experience only a couple inches of snow so far this year. Kind of looks like early-early spring outside. I loved the deep snow but as you get older it lacks the excitement and intensity it did when you were younger.

Instead of conventional wipers it has spinning windows. The glass spins so fast nothing can stick to it. They work great but it is a small space to look through.
