We had a few small flurries but they never made it off the windshield - but then, I do live in Florida, what did you expect? We don't even have a snow plow

Things are under control, once again. I had posted a photo of me plowing during the blizzard (and it was, we officially got 30" here) and someone observed that the photo was a good argument for a cabbed tractor! He's right, of course. I know it! But then, today was bright and sunny, around freezing, just perfect for being out on an open station tractor, being fully part of the plowing/clearing experience. I drive in the woods to collect firewood, and use a post hole auger, which I wouldn't want a cab for, and I can't afford two tractors, so... I think I found the limit for a plow on a small CUT- a snowblower would have been nice, but probably not faster than repeated cuts and pushing.

I would have used my loader bucket and rear blade for this storm (I have to deal with a confined lane in places, with no place to push the snow off to the sides) but I stupidly parked them too far back in the yard- getting to them would have been a whole other project.

And, my neighbor came by in his Deere 5055E with a hot cab, and let me play with it a bit. All in all, a good day. Now, to get a gas snowblower to avoid shoveling!!

Plowed my untouched driveway when I got home from work as the storm was ending, we got 30" of snow here, all week forecasters were calling for 6"-10" 8"-12" for our area, d*mn goofs!

This shows why a loader SSQA plow isn't all bad (compared to a closer-in frame mount, anyway) in that I could push it up and over the piles when I ran out of places to put snow. The orange part of the snow pole is 6', the pile was over 7' high when I was finished. Melting will probably take until April.
