Pretty funny, we're all wishing for snow just so we can play with the toys.. like big kids.

I got a chance to really try out my plow set up today. We got maybe 12" or so an she's still blowin. I really like it so far, took some getting use to it not being gravity float, but I think I am getting the hang of floating in at the skids. Plowed about 1/2 mile road and it went so much faster that using the bucket. I got a diamond set up 7.5 skid steer on my L3200. I was expecting it to take a little longer for a learning curve but all is well.

Well now I have a project to get ready for the next storm. Seems I hit that stone step harder then I thought and now the A frame is broke on one side plus the cross brace is broke out of one leg and that leg is bent. I'll be placing a want add here at TBN in case anyone in New England has one kicking around under foot. Failing that it's off to my friendly local welder.

Snows over. I think we got around 11-12 inches. I'll wait until tomorrow but that's looking chilly at a high of 10*F and winds 10-20 mph, even with some sunshine. Have to dig out my bank robber stocking cap. :laughing:
This is the coldest snow storm we've had in several years.

I knew I was going to be out of town for the storm so I spent last week getting everything ready so GF would be able to handle anything MN dished out. Snow tires/plow/bed weights for the truck. Snow tires on her cars and my car, chains/rear blade/wide bucket on the tractor. When she left for work this morning at 07:30 she had to shovel 18" of snow to get to the truck. She plowed out the driveway and then started down our private road. When she got to the main road, the town plows had piled the snow up to the height of the hood of the truck. She said she had to ram the pile of snow 4 times before she could break through and get out. She then drove 20 miles to work, road hadn't been plowed in a while, there were no tracks in the road and the snow was 4-6" deep on the road.
I would have called in, stayed home and had another cup of coffee.
It will be interesting to see what mess I have to clean up when I get home on Wednesday. I bet she will have the driveway to the house cleared to pavement, but I bet I will still have to do the 400' driveway to my shop.
