Snow total

UP Guy · Jan 30, 2015

The nightly news just reported we have 128 inch snow total for the year so far. The new Kubota is getting a good work out. I'm glad I got a rear blower because I love using the loader just as much.

The weather station S/W of Gaylord is at 109". I'm about 20 miles north of that. Have not had my big blower running in over a month. We received over 50" in November, and has been real scarce since then. Not that I'm complaining, but might as well get with the program and bring on the warm Spring weather to go with the ' no snow ' thing... Camped out in the barn, spending money online, and burning up my wood stash....

I'm with you. I don't get nearly as much as you do but these little kubotas can move a good amount of snow with the blower. It is slow but awesome! After being overwhelmed by a few 24" + snowfalls and just the loader, I bought the blower and am happy that I did. The plow is quicker for the normal 5-6" CT type snowfalls.

I've already busted a shear bolt on mine,,LOL..

We picked up about 8 inches the other morning SW of Gaylord, and then the wind picked up moving it in other places. Even though it was a great grade of snow to blow I broke a shear bolt too. Must of picked up a chunk of ice under the snow.

I spent a lot of time and effort to make me a stash of new shear bolts last winter..... AND haven't needed one since....

It's when you are down to your last few that you have to watch out...

Our area down in snow measure for the fourth straight year,last couple weeks count going up steady might just reach normal measurement...hope not,as they say subject to change w/out notice.

I am located south of Jackson mi.I bet we have not had 10 inches all winter.Tonight we are under a winter storm warning.They are calling for up to 12 inches.

Total for the season ('14-'15) is about 5'. We had 2' in November and then it warmed up and rained. We've got about 3' on the ground now.

We've had a whopping 27" so far this winter and almost half of that melted away before Christmas. I've only cleared my lane twice so far and the yard 4 times. I've usually done it a dozen or more by now.

We only had 4" snowfall in all of December, but we got 60" in January (36" of that in the last 5 days). We're now under a blizzard warning, with 16" forecast for the next 2 days. With winds at a steady 25 gusting to 36 mph, the drifts are growing fast. Just an old fashion winter, but it's making it harder to get the firewood cut and skidded.

You shouldn't have much trouble getting that Freight shaker out, tho.

We are rear end deep in snow tonight,at least 14 inches.The weather service is calling for 30mph winds tonight.All is good though I finally got to try out my new 7ft. front mount snow plow.Life is good it worked like a champ.

Rustywreck · Feb 2, 2015

I don't know what the snowfall total is for this season is but there is maybe 4-6" on the ground here, which is fine with me.

I live north of Lansing, Michigan...there is so much drifting it's hard to tell the actual snowfall here but I would say 10-11 inches came down yesterday, the drift in front of my garage is about waist deep. There has been a snow total of just under 19" this winter prior to yesterday...the season normal snowfall is 51" for this area.

Munising has gotten around 12ft. so far. My tractor thanks to this forum is working great. Just installed a back up camera for blowing snow with the 3 point tonight. Shoveled off the camp and garage roofs with a snow scoop. I'm tired of snow. Bring on spring and the coho's

Plenty of snow here in calumet also. I'm with you on spring. Can't wait to get the boat in lake superior.

We haven't even had enough snow, so far, to wet your whistle. So far 4" total - usually 30"-35" by this time. Annual total averages 45".
