Ready for snow?

[nylyon-(Admin) 8,834]

This is about as clean as it’s going to get today, it finally stopped snowing at 3:00pm

 

[adsm08 4,188]

We got maybe 3 inches.

 

Wife and I cleared about an inch last night at 8 before bed, and then got up early and move another inch and a half off before I left.

 

Driveway was clean and dry when I got home, so the sun must have done some work through the day.

We got about 8" but its still coming down. Decided to plow w/654 instead of using 702 & blower cause snow was kinda heavy along with being windy.

This Noreaster dumped some heavy wet snow.  I had some knee high drifts. The big D  definitely got a workout.

About 10"s of wet stuff.   Perfect for the 520H and 48" blade.   About 2 hours an 2 gallon of fuel to clean up the neighborhood.

 

looks like Ed's going to be doing some spring grass seed work ?

That's just crab grass that grows up thru my stone road. I keep trying to kill it with old oil and gasoline.       I will need to repair some of the neighbors lawns that I tore up plowing thier driveways.   The ground was not frozen and my plow blade scraped off some sod along the edges.

Looking good out there Ed, we only got about 3" total and by yesterday afternoon it had melted away.

 

Can you send a close up of your Wheel Horse shingle? 

I would like to do something similar and repurpose my newspaper box post with something Wheel Horse. If anyone knows me well enough, you would know that I didn't just use the green metal electric fence post that they provided, oh no, I had to fabricate one out of 2" square tubing, have it powder coated in bronze color, and anchor it with 120# of Sakrete... So, it will be staying.

 

Stay safe out there everyone.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Our 10"s melted down to about 4"s, but the plowed piles are rock hard this morning.

We only got two or three inches of new snow, but it was blustery, which caused some drifting, and the wind blew the snow off of many places, leaving several bare areas on the driveway, as well as blowing the snow off of our vehicles. I didn't even bother to plow the driveway, although I did have to shovel about six inches off of the front steps. I'll wait and see how much new snow comes with tomorrow's storm and re-assess the driveway situation.

Been there done that.

We got about 14” of kinda wet snow. The C-121 and the snowblower and our big Ariens 1332 took care of it! Did the walks and patio and trails for the dog also today with the Ariens. But we have more on the way all this week so the C-145 with the plow with me on standby!

Hang in there guys....A couple signs of spring today.

 

    Robins everywhere.

 

 

Daffodils are pushing thru the snow.

Yesterday I got a call from one of my old snowplowing customers saying that there was a tree across the driveway and the new plow guy couldn’t get in. So I borrowed a payloader and pushed it out of the way and plowed the driveway. 
 Then went past a friends farm and he was out with his snowblower, the thing is so bad ass that I had to pull in and tell him that!! 
 

Since I was already in the loader I drove over to my mother’s house and plowed her driveway. 50 years ago I plowed this entire driveway with Tonka payloader and Tonka T-9 bulldozer. Somewhere my mother has pictures. Recently I posted a picture of me on my Work Horse plowing in this exact spot when I was 14. My mother who is 87 years old and one of the funniest people you can meet, told me “Go stand in front of that thing so I can take a picture and send it to my friends!” 
 
 After that I went to work clearing snow off of a job site with a D-5 dozer. So I thought I’d share some snow removal pictures and videos!

So...

Firstly, it’s pretty cool to be able to “borrow” a Payloader! (JEALOUS!)

And then to borrow a bulldozer (and not ruin the road trying to plow the snow off it)!

As for the tractor blower, it is always hard for me to balance limited storage, limited budget, and limited opportunities to use essentially single-purpose equipment.
