I took a couple of pictures with the APS camera back on December 12 and scanned them in and am finally posting them.
This shows some serious snowfall for us anyway. By the end of December the tv stations were reporting that we had a record snowfall for the month, about 60" I believe.
One of the pics is the path from my driveway to the barn and the other is from the house towards the road.

Jim -

Holy Moly!

Weather sure ain't distributed evenly in this country. Out here in Californy we're just now bracing for some mild rain /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

BTW - uhhhh, that second picture could use just a little explanation, eh? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

JimBinMI,
I guess I know what you been doing about everyday...either plowing between storms or fighting snow drifts. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
Looks like that snowblower you had in mine would have almost payed for its self.

Are you pulling a Thomas in the 2nd picture and looking for a rear tire chain. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Michigan snow, 2nd

Jim. Nice pictures. Must have been quite a chore moving all that snow with a back blade /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif . Where's the tractor in the pictures?/w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif Oh, maybe that's Jim looking for his Blue Tractor in the snow pile?/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif Looks like us Michiganders are in for a warm spell./w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif Temperatures all the way into the lower 30's this week.

Nice pics Jim. About as much as we have in the valley here. Looks like you been having some wind too. Looks like a pretty stiff neck from all the back blading. Did you get the FEL yet?

Now you see, that was the kind of snow we'd been getting for the last couple of years. That's why I went and got the 5' snowblower for the tractor.

So of course, what have we gotten so far his year? Nothing./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif Looks like you've been having fun though /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

PaulinMI,

The Mighty TC18 was snug as a bug in a rug in the barn when the photos were taken! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
All of the snow was moved using a Woods 5' rear blade and turf tires, the TC18 is hydro 4x4 and has filled rear tires (rim guard)

Harv,

That's my 12 year old son preparing to dig a tunnel through the pile...he's just being camera shy...he did get the tunnel dug! However, after the next snowfall it was gone...filled!
