ebinmaine 63,308 #30 Posted January 7 Interesting how UT varies so much from one side of the CT River valley to the other. Happens up here too. Microclimates. Neat science. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,916 #34 Posted January 7 I got some seat time. I had to hurry to clear the 2 inches of wet snow from 5 driveways before the sun melted it off. Even was able to pile some up and try big dually. She didn't blow the packed slushy stuff into the next county, but she threw it about 20 feet and unlike a single stage, never clogged up the chute. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,762 #35 Posted January 7 I heard 5-9 inches and 4-7 inches, and they were close this time. I measured 7". So I used the 16 Auto with the snowblower, it was great snow for that. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,762 #37 Posted January 7 I was more interested in getting the tractor cleaned up and put away, and me into the house to dry off and warmed up. That's the only bad part of not having a cab, you tend to wear some snow by the time you get done. I had a cab at one time, but I couldn't see my surroundings that well. So down the road it went. I knew someone would want some pictures 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,003 #38 Posted January 7 Same thing with me and a cab. Great at night. But if you're out in the day and the sun is out you can't see a thing because of the glare. I needed sunglasses to avoid getting a headache from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,308 #39 Posted January 7 No cabs here either. 1. I barely fit it one. 2. It's VERY challenging to get out of one for me. 3. Visibility from a cab is too limited for me. I work outdoors. I have plenty of clothing to wear. Biggest concern for me is keeping my hands and toes warm. Hot Hands solves that when I remember to use them. I do like the idea of NOT being covered in snow but the cons of a cab FAR outweigh the pros..... for now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 10,656 #41 Posted January 7 (edited) Maybe it was 3” before it started melting from below. 35 miles north of NYC. Driveway was an inch of slush so I used the push shovel only. My son got ~5” of the wet stuff and some good seat time in the burbs SW of Boston & his first run with the new safety flasher! His neighbor was not happy--his fancy snowblower kept clogging while the WH & plow just pushed the wet stuff aside nicely.

Maybe two inches by the time it consolidated. It was deeper last night when I went to bed! I had to work fast this morning before it melted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would but insurance won't pay until they get bigger. At least that's what my eye doctor tells me. On with a couple pics! First time the FJ Wingers 14HP got a good workout!

My eye doc said they won't pay as long as I pass the vision test. Gimme the test...I failed. Now, with these new lenses I can even drive at night again and don't need glasses. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
