The ole 1973 12 auto did great.Need chains though as I couldn't do much with 1”1/2 of ice with 7” of snow.

Once the sun worked it’s magic I was able to get down to pavement and then there was no issues moving big chunks of snow and ice .

wish I took a before and after pic.

The county should put me on payroll.

     2014  snow storm

 

Never needed a cab when I was a young 70yo.

@Ed Kennell I didn’t need one when I was young either! Winter of 1984-85 when I was 14 with my Work Horse. My parents got me the plow for Christmas that year. Note the red hat, it’s an insulated winter genuine Wheel Horse hat! I wish I still had it.

Got bundled up to walk down to the barn in the back ground.  Driveway down has significant drifting./  Already feels hard.  Will have to use the blower but wind continues tomorrow so may wait until Monday.  It is 15 degrees in the shop where she is parked....

Ugh, here we go again, so glad I hooked up the blower this year. I’m in the 12+ this round, and we still have a foot on the ground.

Blizzard warning and possibly up to 20” of snow forecasted for the east end of Long Island! Most are saying 10”-16” Yesterday at this time they were saying 1”-3” maybe 2”-4”, that changed right after lunchtime. Definitely going to be time for the two stage blower. Today is prep day for everything around the house and making sure we are ready.

Only got about 5" last night but another 11-13" predicted for Monday. Blower's going to get another work out!

[Ed Kennell 44,787]

Looks like a 3" wet snow for me.   Plows are ready.

NWS has us looking for 3" Monday but Portland is closer to 7".

@Keith Cochrane nice looking unit there , notice the handle end of your  auger  movement ?  years back , took a threaded DIE NUT  and added  threading for a  smooth screw on knob ?  local h/w store makes the  handling   easier  with  mittens / gloves . also added a SNOW SLIDER , VINYL gasket  , with PAM  food spray , for  very slick easy  movement , just measured  base area fit  , and cut  to match , just a suggestion , always snooping around  to improve something , happy snow blowing . pete

Picked up some shear bolts for the impeller fan on my Massey Ferguson blower. $5 something a piece from the Kubota dealer vs $9 something each from AGCO. Same blower. The 314-8 is ready for cleanup duty. Have to get the blower ready tomorrow and change out that shear bolt. Then check all the houses I watch. Then I gotta burn the cardboard up before the storm.  Tomorrow is going to be busy.

This is the kind if storm where 2 days ago was a dusting and now:

 

[c-series don 11,314]

Exactly! They just upped it again, now they are saying possibly 18-24” for eastern Long Island!! 

[adsm08 4,182]

I recently tried to take out a PFA against all the local weathermen.

 

I was told it does not work that way.

  I was in Florida yesterday… shoulda stayed longer 

  Here’s what I saw on TV this morning, I’m under the W in Willimantic.

I agree. Florida sounds better.

We had a bizzare one here. I got 8 inches on the ranch. Ten miles away they got 1 inch. 

[TonyToro Jr. 2,335]

Same as @Sparky here. 12-18” but I saw a different forecast 2 feet . We are all ready here. Adjusted the skid shoes on the single stage blower and added some air to the front tires on that tractor. Then on the C-145 I moved the blade lift arm hole to the other one I drilled so it will lift higher so I can stack the snow. We will see!

[ebinmaine 77,227]

I'd say I feel bad for you folks... very little snow forecast here...

Gosh that's horrible.  

[TonyToro Jr. 2,335]

Just crazy this weather lately. Today I was in just a sweatshirt doing things and was comfortable! And now we have to believe it’s going to snow!

yes - here in Hudson River Valley ---  a t-shirt and lite sweat shirt on top of that a couple days ago I was wandering outdoors completely comfortable -- looks like the Monday 40 mph wind with the wet snow may make for an adventure -  might be some lost power issues ????????? UGH !
