Missing.... Looking for white stuff called snow. They keep saying were going to get some but haven't seen more than a couple of inches at a time.
What about the rest of you ? How much have you had this year?
We have a Nor'easter coming in tonight and tomorrow . Would like to have enough to push some around at least once this winter.

Similar here. We have had 3 snowfalls totaling more then 3 inches. the rest were just dustings or maybe and inch if you were to jab the ruler halfway into the ground. I for one don't mind the lack of snow that much, what I do mind is that I'm not getting that sweet sweet OT that lets me cushion up that tractor budget.

We've got about three feet. About a foot of the 4' fence is still showing,and were only about 80% of normal snow pack.

You can keep the nor Easter in Maine I give up on snow time for dry land so I can take off the snow plow and put the bucket back on.

We got about six inches beginning yesterday and today in my area of central MN. We also had some freezing rain first which caused the schools to close today. The snow was mixed, some that was blowing but most very wet with a blue tint under cloudy skies from all the water. We have had very little snow this year.

I live in a subdivision on the edge of a town with 60k people. I must have done 20 driveways and parts of another 30 (no charge). They were all around 50 feet long. Usually I do half a dozen including mine.

I have a Deere 4100 CUT with a 47" blower. The reason I did so many drives was because the walk behind blowers couldn't handle the wet snow with two guys telling me they were using theirs just to push snow. Three were shoveling out their broken down blowers The partial drives were just the ends where the city plow pushed up sloppy wet snow three feet deep and people were really struggling to even shovel it. Temps were right at the freezing point. I started at 6:30a and finished at 3:30p. The 4100 handled it all flawlessly. I used about 6 gallons of fuel. All good fun.

I need a cab which I will fabricate when it warms up in a couple of months.

Not one flake on the ground this morning :mad: I guess there's still hope, it's still coming up the coast and has just started in Maine down south.

Other then that surprise storm on 31 Oct 2011 (about 6-8 inches), our total accumulation in south central PA has been less the 6" this season.
