dells68 7,499 #2 Posted January 29, 2019 Nope. Big let down here. Only about an inch or so. Now we’ve got to live with the coming cold and below 0 windchills. When we got the monster back in December, they said only 1-3”. Guess that means expect the opposit of what they call for. So who knows, might be 79 degrees here tomorrow😂. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHGuy413 2,772 #12 Posted January 30, 2019 It finally started here. Calling for 3-5" but who knows they never get it right. Either way the 753 and 416H are ready to earn their keep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,498 #13 Posted January 30, 2019 The storm rolled through tonight. Weatherman said 1 to 3 inches of snow. We got rain, it just stopped before. Now for the cold coming our way. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,465 #15 Posted January 30, 2019 Uh, the total from the last 2 rounds was only about 7". Drifts - 2' and higher in spots. -25*F air temperature, -55*F wind chill (been gusting to 30mph+). I'm staying in, thanks. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.5564&lon=-89.4603 Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,743 #19 Posted January 30, 2019 Here is what is really bizarre about the deep freeze we are facing right now...Jim just posted the current actual air temps at about -25 degrees without the 15-20mph west winds... look at our extended forecast for Sunday/Monday... evening that is a 65 degree warm up!!!! That would be like it hitting 125 by Richie in Florida on Sunday based on his current temps! That is a HUGE warm up. I might have to break out the flip flops and grill out lunch on Sunday. As I posted elsewhere, I ended up with about 10” on the level but lots of drifts that were over 2’ in the driveway. The 523D was definitely up to the task of removal though. It is sooo nice to have a heated shed to keep the tractor in, ready to go at a moments notice (thank you Jim!)... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHGuy413 2,772 #21 Posted January 30, 2019 I think we ended up with around 3 inches. Blew out the drive with my 416 then did some plowing with the 753 til my kids got home from school. My 9 year old wanted to try and he did great. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,465 #24 Posted January 31, 2019 I used to think that it was better to tolerate the cold winters versus having so much flooding and hurricane risk, until the last 10yrs or so. Yeah, it is from getting older to a certain extent, but more about the extreme storms we keep getting here. Hurricanes are well predicted to an extent and you have time to prepare. Tornadoes, not so much - they can just pop up out of nowhere and destroy an entire town. Ride around the Midwest and you'll see pockets of rebuilt/new neighborhoods that seem a little out of place in relation to the surrounding area - that is the result of a twister. I think I'd rather deal with the heat and an occasional hurricane. I'd never live up against the coast anyway - far too expensive. Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,275 #25 Posted January 31, 2019 Sarge, they get tornadoes during hurricanes also...usually on the incoming side. Midwest is the safest place to be...in the states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
