Did you get dug out? Starting to look like a normal winter of 60 or so inches. I have about 30 inches on the ground so far. I have it cleaned up and pushed back pretty good, still lots of room to push and pile.

About the same here. It's been so cold and the snow is so dry it don't want to slide of the roof.

Private road was looking a bit narrow, and my neighbors drive, (1/4 mile) was under about 2 foot of drift snow, they have no trees and driveway is north south running, so I put the grader blade on the front of the bobcat and shoved it all back off the road. :D
The Hydraulic powered snow blower is a bust, it works, but it requires just a little more flow than the hydraulic pump on the bobcat puts out right now, (11 GPM). So for this year it will go back on the PTO of the L, Next year I'll have the new motor driven high flow pump setup (25 GPM) on the bobcat then it will work perfectly. I've got plenty of HP available and left over with the V2203 I put in it. ;)

It takes a few hours to do the driveway and private road off the main road. Fortunately I moved an out building back 35', took out 3 more big trees, and made a big turnaround area between the house and shop, unfortunately now I have twice the area to clear up by the house! Nice and powdery, so it moves easy, but won't stay where it's pushed. ...... one day I'll have a front snow blower for my little BX, that will be nicer than pushing piles

Other then one week of cold, it hasn't felt like winter yet here. Today's been in the mid 50's with rain. Ranged between hi 40's to low 50's during the day. Usually it's running high 30's during the day and below freezing at night.

Been a warmer then normal winter for sure.

Cold this AM....-15f. The dog was only out about 5 minutes on his morning stroll. 74f inside. Toastie Maybe this will reduce the wasp population this summer. This is the coldest it has been in a few years. Back in the 8o's it hit 30 below and was cold for a month. Warmed up to 0 on a warm day. A real heat wave. We have a pretty good snow pack so the frost won't go deep.

CHICKEN! :D

We hit -3 last night .

One thing very odd is there is almost no frost or freeze level because it got cold and dry and all the moisture was freeze dried out of the ground, as soon as I blade any new snow off we get dust, a rather odd sight. :rolleyes:

Yup, just got home from picking up some stuff to finish up my latest attempt for oversized skids for the blower. This time going with 20x4" skids with 3/4" UHMW polyethylene on the bottom. Calling for snow the next couple days so finish that up along with new skids for the ATV. Time to fire up the mig. Been watching the us news and weather, some of you really got socked in...play safe my friends.

Calling for 1 to 2" of snow tonight in Arkansas. First snowfall of the year. Just talked to my wife. They are already getting call ins at her work because of it :rolleyes: Any time it snows there it's mass hysteria. Currently 39 degrees out.

Already getting hit by the same storm in Amarillo. Currently 14 degrees out and lightly snowing. Supposed to get 2 to 4" here. It's cold enough where it's not effecting the roads.
