Alot of seat time today.

After driving home from work in the blizzard last night, I woke up to just under 20inches of snow and my retired neighbor stuck in my driveway in his truck with a snow plow(he missed the drive and was in the yard). He's recovering from back surgury and I've been keeping his drive clean. He was going to return the favor before I got up this morning. We had so much snow he couldn't tell where the exit was. He also burned the cluch up trying to get out before giving me a call. I was just about to hook to him when the the road plow came down our rural road. A nice guy steps out of his heated cab in a T-shirt with the radio cranking out some CCR and offered to help. He got the truck out with no effort and I pulled him back to his house with the Massey. Spent the rest of the day plowing my drive and playing in the Jeep. I live for days like today.

:thumbsup:It's good to have decent neighbors and big plow operators. My little BX2660 with turf tires did a hellava job for 5 hours today digging (FEL), scraping and plowing (BB) 12 inches of snow with 3 ft drifts. Did four driveways and mine. Was darn cold and tired after that. But the neigbor lady brought me some hot soup and a half a loaf of fresh hot bread. Temp at zero now but the wind has died down. Didn't have to pull any trucks out of my front yard however.

Hot soup and fresh hot bread.That sounds better than money right now. It's 6 degrees here in Ft. Wayne tonight. You have a great neighbor. :thumbsup: I love fresh bread with soft butter.

My best quesstiment is 17" of snow from this last storm. With the wind it was hard to measure. Measurements varied from dusting to 6 foot. In the quieter wind protected areas 17" was about the average. 155 foot driveway took 2 hours plus to dig out with the end loader, and the son using a JD 928E snowblower. All told 8 hours plus seat time, 9 drives dug out, 1 pick up, 1 van pulled out of drifts or plowed in on the street. Approximently 11 gallons of diesel, 4 gallons of gas burned. Total fuel cost, $61.00 in fuel burned, $0.00 paid by those I dug out. Just neighbors helping neighbors. I'm sure when I'm down they will be there for me. If not, I know I helped. Had a blast doing it too. My face still hurts from grinning. BTW, wifey seriously thinking about the need for a 3pt blower. One more good blizzard and I may have that 72" blower!!

Great pics, thanks...I like the ones of the big cat, bet one could push some snow with that. Wonder what a rig like that costs??Think it might be abit big for the driveway:confused2:

We got 4 more inches of snow yesterday. I got up this morning and clean drives again. The snow pile is now over 6 foot.
