New snow

   / New snow #251  
We got a pretty good storm yesterday. Blew around so much it's hard to tell how much we got. Predictions were all over - 6 to 14 depending on the exact storm track and how much rain mixed in. We didn't get rain but the start was very wet snow. Weighed down the trees in good shape before it changed to nice powder. A few pics plowing this morning.

We got a storm Saturday too. Started as rain, then blowing snow. About 6" and was a ***** cuz it was heavy and wet and slushy/freezing base. But got it cleaned up and it's sunny today.

Well got a bit of snow moved today, the driveway was thawed so it was going to be difficult to clear without making a mess ended up pushing the back blade backwards, did a decent job.

Yeah, hard to tell with high gusts. Someplaces drifted over 21" (height of snowblower) some places only 8" or so. No rain, or wet snow. This year has been all powder so far. Easy to move...

All that snow you should have good water table most of the summer.

Also use the back blade 5 1/2" snow,easier and quicker but not as warm as pickup with plow.

We got about 6 inches of dense packed powder but with the ground now thawed out, I used the bucket instead of the plow or BB to avoid digging up the driveway. Not quite as tidy a job so I "back bucketed" it to smooth out the mess a bit.

No tractor work today, just picked up some expensive fuel. Piled up some though. 097BD509-F780-40F1-B6E2-7A5AA9C71092.jpeg
