You can have my part of it. If I start to complain about our rain and mud I will just look at some pictures of your neck of the woods.
Looks like that way down by the coast in Maine. Where I am maybe a 12-18 inches. We will see, As I said,stay tuned!!!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm hoping to go to Jersey soon to help with Sandy cleanup. That will delay things for sure, as if they havn't been already :snowball:
nothing to plow yet 1/2 inch wind has kept my driveway fairly clear....

I don't think much of that, If I want to go somewhere Im going, when the snow gets 5 ' or 6' deep in the road Ill stay home :D :D :D ;D
Nice rig you have there Sprucebunny!
Got up this morning and had about 3 inches in the driveway, so I went down to help my brother hang more sap line!
When I got home, 4:00pm, there was 8 inches of snow in the driveway, so I went out and cranked up the snowblower and took care of it.
Around 8:00pm we had another 4 inches or so, so I went out and took care of that, and now at 10:40pm, there is another 2 inches.
Well, it's waiting until morning, 'cause I've had it with outdoors for one day!
Up at my brothers, there's about 16 inches of snow we have to travel through to hang sap line, so next trip up there, we'll have to use a tractor and trailer to haul stuff.
We'll have to wait and see what we have here in the morning.
woke around 2 AM, and some 12+ with 2 to 3 foot drifts
drove the dump truck around for about an hour
things look good now around 7
lotta blowing and drifting
I might of got a foot of snow. The wind is still blowing.
My avatar shows what I use to clear my yard. That's 40hp JD 4x4 with heated cab and an Erskine 721 (6 feet wide) front mount snow blower. It'll take me about 15 minutes to clear my 200ft long drive. Usually it takes 10 minutes but with the drifts I'll have to slow the ground speed down a bit.
Keep the OWB stoked and stay inside where it's warm.

A little surprised by how little snow we got. Maybe 10" and most of that came from a different storm yesterday. These past few winters have been pretty weak around here as far as snowfall goes. Last year I bought a tractor to move snowbanks when I run out of room to push it, haven't even put the chains on this year and never used it for snow last year! Its still handy for so many other things though. It will take me about 45 minutes to clear my driveway with the plow. 8'6" plow on my 2009 Ram crew cab, Cummins powered!
At least a foot here, but hard to tell exactly with the drifting. Going to put the bucket on Max (CaseIH 5250 with cab and heat ;D ), and clean out around the farm.
Sprucebunny brought one of those to the pigroast one year! Honest!
We got a taste here of the storm, before it merged with the one from the south. We got over a foot. We had lost all of our snow, but we have plenty now. Never had any blizzard conditions, just 1-2 inches of snow per hour. Had my workout yesterday morning clearing snow. Its looks beautiful and sunny out this morning, but I had enough of being out there yesterday! :D
Had 14" here , no problems, but I did get all of my fire wood cut , split and stacked next to the wood shed,before the storm all 8 cord for next winter.in aug it will go in 8) 8) :D
I measured 7 locations in the yard, in Lunenburg, average 19". Just spent 1.5 hr with the 40" snow blower ,we can get out but I still need to finish up the end of the driveway. Drifts are 2.5 to 3' in the driveway.
we probably got 2 foot
some drifts were huge
non of it was light and fluffy
the snowblower will eat just about anything
the cape in massachusetts is still getting pounded
only 8 or so inches here but it is windy and the snow was packed pretty good so I had to do some cleanup passes...
About the same here 6"-8" not much of a northern storm. :laugh:
plowed from 7 pm Friday start of storm 3-5 inch drift bans spaced 1-2 feet apart across all roads what a strange ride plowing until 4pm Saturday when the the governor released the insane from the asylum...... then it became a [I have typed a profane word that is automatically changed by the forum censored words program I should know better] show !! The driving ban was the best Idea any governor ever had.... Finally a State of Emergency !!! We were able to complete all major snow removal within 24 hours !! all roads were passable and safe !! Yes there is still cleanup, side walks, parking lots and Piles !! But if there had been traffic we would still be at it full bore......Not one storm related call for Police,fire,ems...... a few complaints about drifting...... " the best calls were call about impassable roads during the driving ban!! slept from 5pm-4am this morning back out for the clean up and private plowing 4pm all I have left is the home front !!
hit a log in my yard with the plow truck
dented bad my side box, but more so
drove enough wood into the bud wheel to flatten the ouside tire
dug out the wood and the tire is fine.........nice nice
My plow truck at my woodlot north of Berlin wouldn't start...it also wouldn't stop cranking even with the key out of the ignition :o Smoke got out of the starter solenoid. Oh well. There was only 8" of snow there. Packed the driveway and moved the roadside berm with my J5.
Got between 9-10" here-the International 504 Utility with Model 2000 loader handled it well. Glad we didn't get as much as the southern part of the state! My friend Ray over in Groton,NH,maybe 10 miles west,got 20" so we didn't miss by much.

Just 34°F here this morning!
Nice!
This "warming trend" will settle some of the snow, making it easier to get around.
storm total 29.7 inches....... Still more cleanup here at home, and it is snowing again here !!! The weather folks are saying its gonna change over to rain !! That will be great, head out shortly to pop snow banks for road drainage !! Hope I don't get stuck !!
