I'm jealeous Bob. We had a nice snow for Christmas which melted by New Years. Another inch or so the other day and maybe an inch or two today. Really not enough to do much with although my wife does want me to find her cross country skis this morning. Have fun with what you're getting /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well, it's just after 8AM Saturday morning....just came in from outside and I'm estimating we have so far about 16" that has fallen so far. It's still snowing at a moderate rate and weather forecasters are predicting another 3-6" before it's all over.

Frank, we're down just outside Ithaca. We had 18" of the white stuff on our hill out of this storm so far. Certainly got a chance to use the JD 4100, and it did what I asked it to do.

It's now 5pm and I've just finished plowing, shoveling out the woodpile, making a path to the chicken coop, raking the roofs of the house, cottage, shop and garage, and digging out the mailbox from the mountain of snow the town plow buried it with. Used 3/4 of a tank of diesel in the process! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Looks like we got 18" or so, though it's hard to tell since the wind blows it around a bit. The road and walkways were over two feet deep. And this is on top of a solid sheet of ice left over from last week's rain! Slick as can be!

Just think of all the FEL practice I got today. Just think of those poor sods in Texas who never get to experience Nor'easters! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Good one, Dave! I was wondering if you were paying attention. And as a matter of fact, I did find one thing about life in the desert to envy you for. As the proud and sometimes frustrated owner of two 57 Dodge pickups, I salivate at the thought of all those rust free parts trucks out your way! /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
