Im not sure how much we will get. I would feel better if i had a Tractor but have a snowblower. Plus my Wife family is comming over---- all 30 of them for a late Thanks Giving dinner!

Well I was ready for the foot they are predicting for my area but just this afternoon I went out and plowed off the one inch or ("chance of flurries") that I've been getting every day this week, and while I was doing the drive of my best paying customer I hit hard on a granite stair step that sticks out into the drive. I knew it was there just thought I was far enough over and wasn't. The pressure fed back through the lines and blew apart the coupling where the third function comes off one of the rear remotes. It stripped the threads so the fitting is junk. Off to the dealers in the morning for a new one and a couple of gallons of hyguard fluid. Good thing they have Saturday hours. Failing that at least it's stuck in the angle right position so I could keep everything open without the part if I had to.

Well about Monday we can add up the damage and see who was really ready and who was delusional. I'm betting that most posters here being tractor focused will be up to the challenge but some of our neighbors will be in need of assistance.

Getting ready. I put the new roller grip chains on this afternoon, and in the morning I'll mount the SB51 blower on the rear. Fluids checked, tank full, beacon strobe tested-- good to go once the operator has oatmeal and coffee.

They are calling for 10-14" here. I'm ready to go. :thumbsup:
