This morning I spent almost 2 hours blowing snow off my driveway, more than twice as long as it normally takes!

We had another 15"+ last night, 3-4" yesterday. The drifts on the driveway were over 2 feet deep.

Of course the highlight of my morning adventure was hitting the garbage bag that my wife had left at the top of the driveway. It was next to the mailbox completely buried. It does make an interesting contrast coming out of the blower chute. . . Had to get another bag & pick up what I could.

The snow on our deck is now 5-6' deep - I'm ready for summer!

You are right - :laughing:

Here are a few I just shot

A view from the kitchen door onto the deck:

Our yellow lab on the driveway - the dogs can't go anywhere except on areas I've cleared with the blower

We have been out of propane for a week (they won't come down the driveway. Only use it for a gas dryer & grill on the deck. I made a path from the driveway down the rear lawn (too steep to go all the way down) so the driver could get to our tank with the hose - under deck in rear.

Hilarious. My deck looks the same - I've been taking a couple of pics of it every storm for a time-lapse effect...

I officially hit the height limit for my lawn tractor blower today - I can't shoot over the top of the piles at the end of my driveway any more. They're big f'ers.

You're growing some impressive icesickles too... not necessarily a good thing. At least you survived the super-cold... I have water trickling out of a ceiling in a rental unit as we speak. Might make for a delay in cleaning up this last storm if fixing it sucks up my weekend...

Thats a bunch of snow. Real nice house you have there from the little bit I can see. Sure is pretty though. Maybe 8" on the ground here and I'm ready for spring also.:)

Best get some ventilation on the roof or you will have water under the shingles and into the house quick.

You may even have non-insulated areas that need attention.


Much cheaper to fix it now that after the leaks and rot occur.


Oh, don't forget to shovel off the deck before the boards break. Ditto for the roof. Ain't winter a joy?

It's getting to the critical point where any more is gonna really cause some serious problems. Roads are choked and buildings are caving in.

I've got no more room to put the snow and January isn't even over.

Pushing my machine hard, worried something is gonna break.

I was gonna start a thread titled "My Kingdom for a Snow Blower" That's what I was thinking today running out of space to plow the snow. Never thought I would seriously consider a 3PT snow Blower, but I am now!

Just as I suspected.......you can also keep it. Got more than enough here.
Our Propane tank is along side the the house about 100ft from our driveway and we use the snowmobiles to pack a path to the tank for the delivery guy.
