They promised we would get 12"+ But it stayed warm enough to rain most of the day. Turned to freezing rain in the afternoon 1/4" then maybe 2" snow. I knew it would miss us because I put the plow on the truck and tractor and was all ready for it.

You know, the early weather model predictions about 10 days ago showed it hitting the mid-Atlantic, which would have crippled this area. We dodged a bullet with the precipitation (still got the cold and wind though). Seems like all that moisture went north and hammered you NE guys. I used to live in CT and VT and I kind of miss all that snow sometimes.

Yeah no kidding there, ya`ll dodged this one for sure! But i bet you deal with more ice than we do up here in the NE though.
LOL... i would never miss the snow and ice. Now i know why my dad spent so many years living in florida when he retired...lol... oh wait, i hate the hot weather too...

I did the exact opposite...lol... i kept telling myself that it wasn`t going to do anything where we live, then BAMMMMM!!! It got us! Where the heck is all that global warming when you need it...lol
To be honest though, i would much rather deal with the snow than freezing rain.

10" of snow, sleet, and snow pellets fell here in the hills of western MA. All the weather models are being really challenged by this Season's split global jet stream pattern and amped up Pacific, and this storm itself was very uncommon as to the dynamics; a low pressure system following a front over running dammed cold air while being overrun itself by a significant plume of Gulf and Atlantic moisture.

Well the BX did not fail me! Purred like a kitten during the plowing. Sub zero with -20 wind chills and glad I had good mittens with a couple of hand warmers tucked inside. Feet got cold but I finished and getting warmed up now. Wind is howling out there but the wood stove is cranked! Life is good!

I got about 20" here in the great area of Vernon, Upstate New Yorkistan.

Almost got the 'Bota out, but decided to use my Snapper walk-behind and a shovel. Good exercise, and what else was I going to do on a boring Sunday afternoon?!

My neighbor asked what the heck is wrong with me... ya know... ya got a nice tractor with a blower and a loader... here you are doing it like the average Joe. lol

Alas, the 'Bota gets used enough during the summer. Only time I'll take it out is if it's a disaster... prolly if I had another 4" more inches on the top of that 20", I would've. :)

We got at least 15 inches and some huge drifts;7,000 lbs and a heated cab made short work of it.I plow a couple neighbors and the road going to my business.Tonight is suppose to be the last of the real cold for a while.Mine sits out-doors but put my battery tender on and plug in the block heater.
