Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Another morning spend moving snow around, not that it bother me. I've been piling all the snow up for the kids to enjoy, and that thick, wet, slop that I just dumped atop it all ought to create some slick surfaces and decent snow balls.

I'm going to have to start on a ramp so that I can pile the snow over top, as I've reached my bucket height, lol.

You got that crap today ??? Yuck. I was out this afternoon and it was snowing but 22 degrees. Tonight and tomorrow sounds more interesting - like you said.

Yes a miserable mess Wednesday night on top of the nicest snow that we've gotten this season ruining it.
Awful to plow.

Same thing happened here last night. Finally had some nice snow - lasted a couple days then last night 5" of concrete followed by drizzle all morning. Run over it with the truck and it immediately compacts into a solid 4" of hard pack you need micro spikes on. Glad the plow is up front.

Too wet to stack with the plow.

There's a lot of snow there. There's a 4' rock retaining wall just beyond the machine and the grade falls away so looking at it from the other side, it's a good 12-14' tall.

Mine. Delivered in November and have only used it once for a true snow event. Otherwise I take it down our road to put the garbage out, pickup the empty bins and grab the Mail. Wish it would snow a lot more! This blower is so much better than the Meteor I had on my MX5100 but in fairness, this is a commercial one. The cab is nice too.

1st rule of snow blowing.

When you buy a new snow blower, it stops snowing for the season.

Slowpoke - how true - in 2015 we had 110" of snow from January 15 to March 1, so I bought the 60" SB, since then no more heavy snows - this year we might have 12" total at the end of January and that's from 4-5 snow events.

I single handedly prevented a Thanksgiving blizzard a 4-5 years ago. Bought the plow & was up late assembling it in 15 degree tempatures. 1' of snow due in 24 hours vanished. Hardly any snow last year when I got the blower too. It's making up for things this year though.

This is the 3rd season I'm on where it stopped snowing.

Had to get old "Betty" out yesterday to push banks back lol. A 4wheeler is much quicker than a gear driven DT7 trans even having to do multiple passes with a 4wheeler especially when it snows under a foot and don't require your roads to look like an interstate in my experience.
