16" here by midday, then stopped for a while. Just picked up another 3-4" in the last couple hours and still coming down heavy. It took me 4.5 hours to clear my drive way and my neighbors. Looks like I'll be doing it all over again tomorrow. Then another storm tomorrow night. Only problem is where to put it all!?!

Good clean fun! That 1845 Case with chains all around will do a number on the snow!

I wish I had chains, but I haven't gotten any yet. Too late now I guess, lol. It's sitting at the other farm anyways. I did move it up next to the driveway if needed, but without chains or tracks I doubt it'd do much.

A bit of tough sledding down your way, for sure !

I hope everybody stays safe through this, and uses common sense.... I'm guessing that few people are set up properly to drive through heavy snow conditions in your neck of the woods.

We get a 20" snow here in the mountains every few years, although this is the biggest I've seen in a long time. I have a '79 F-150 that is my off-road toy and it can handle snow like this (36" swampers, double locked, plenty of HP) but I couldn't get it to start this morning, lol. Has been sitting for a couple months and the battery was toast.


Our total was right at 24". I as stated, I couldn't get my old ford started, the ATV is useless in snow like this, so I had to drive the tractor 2mi to the other farm to feed cows today. The roads were packed down enough but the 1/2mi back into our other farm was tough going. I set the bucket of the B3200 about 12" off the ground and plowed my way in. Did fine till I got down in a draw where it had drifted to about 4' deep. Had to walk my way back out using the bucket.

We're working on 11or12 with ice in the middle. Still going to come down for a few more hours. I've been using the blower and plow to try and keep it clean. Will post a few pics later. Blower shoot turn is broken so will be fixing that first. Electrical connection somewhere is hosed. Another storm coming too.

Here is one of the snow banks. As you can see it is taller than my Toyota.
