We finally received app 8" snow here in Western NC and I got my BX2370 out yesterday and scraped 14 driveways in the neighborhood... I was a very popular guy yesterday....
Let it snow!

Super windy here too, yea I have a feeling it's going to be ugly in the morning, I hate trying to clear snow when it's windy!
I moved to a warmer climate. But when I lived up north the two doctors I visited regularly when it got cold were Dr. Jim Beam and Dr. Jack Daniels.
They new exactly what was needed to warm me up.
I'm getting it here also. I'll be plowing come morning. I'm soooooooo glad I built that cab for my little BX.
County or Idot plows don't move anywhere near close to that speed. 25-30 tops.

Because legally you have to keep all snow on your own property, and nobody owns the waterways.
wow you guys kill me.
we got that little piddly bit of snow & a crap load of severe cold....
but i got the toy out yesterday & at least drove it around the yard so that i could at least have tire prints in the snow.

Somebody must be reading the entire thread. TOMCAT hasn't been here for a couple of years. He was in Thailand, if I remember correctly.
one of the last posts from tomcat as I remember, he was getting ready to harvest cane. He was a pretty avid poster.
Have not waded out to the shop yet. I think we only got 7 maybe 8 inches. Just quit so I will wait till sunrise to clean it up. Snow pack is looking good.
Topping off the wells.

I went and blazed a trail for the wife to get out, about 8 inches, I'll need to blow the rest out a little later, as there is about a 4 foot berm on the sides now.
I got 7" last night. When I work up enough courage I'll go out and get started.
I heard a thump last night, and sure enough, a tree came down right next to one of my sheds out back. Looking out the dining room window I can't tell if it did any damage. Guess I'll go out and check a little later. The joys of living in the great Pacific northwest.

Funny, the farther east I go the colder it gets. Was 38 degrees in Amarillo tx when I left this morning. Currently in elk city Oklahoma and its 30 degrees. Checked the weather in Arkansas and its 23 degrees

We dropped about 250 trees (Lodge pole / jack pine) a few years ago just because of that, they don't hold up well under heavy snow and wind.I got 7" last night. When I work up enough courage I'll go out and get started.

We still have plenty of trees and we keep planting more.
Doing a lot of western larch (tamarack), white pine, spruces, and hopefully will find some bigger blue spruces this year, missed out on a good sale last year.
Just have to get thru two more months...springs a come'n
We are part of the headwaters of the Columbia River The Pend Oreille drainage flows North across the boarder along with the Kootenai River and flows into the
Columbia in Canada then back down. We are the storage!
Hate that stuff skeets, maybe the highest on my hate scale. a good time to stay home and off the roads. Of coarse you could weave rope around the spokes of your Harley.
