:thumbsup:

I snowblowed for the first time this season. We got 3 or 4 inches of light snow over an extended period of time. It added up.

The Frontier blower was spot on.:thumbsup:

Who else has had accumulation in which to fire up the blower.??

Other than this heavy dusting, weather events in Maine this winter have been next to nil. Just enough snow to call it a white Christmas.

No snow blowing, not even close. Took the blower off today and did some brush hogging of area's couldn't get to this summer because it was so wet.

I left the brush hog on, I am sure we will get dumped on before next weekend when I plan on putting the blower back on.

It was a balmy 42 degrees today, while not a record high it is very unusual for this time of year.

We had 10" of Snow....last month (thanksgiving). now only 1" on ground. I was counting on lots of snow this season to help pay for my snow equipment...aint going to happen this season i fear.

I use a blade behind my 4wd Massey until it gets over 15", then I go to my 6' rear mount blower. The deepest single snow it's conquered was 32 inches. Stay in low range reverse and give it time to chew it up and throw it 30 ft.
It's a hassle working backwards, but a a front auger model is over $4,000.

4-7" in the forecast for tonight.

49 degrees for a record high the 26th. We haven't had any snow to matter this month (and only 6" in November). I bought a used CUT w/blower this past spring so I predicted no snow in central MN this year when I brought it home in April, way before the weather service.

We have had 3 feet of snow here this season, normally we should have over 6 feet. I snowblowed twice in early December. There was maybe 5" on the ground at Christmas. Yesterday it was in the high 30's here, but it is now 20 and we are expecting several inches of lake effect snow today and tonight, so I will probably snowblow tomorrow.

Last year by this time we had 5-6' already. This year we've only had about 10", none of it plowable.

We got a nice snowstorm last Weds night / Thursday morn (21/22 Dec) - about a foot. Still plenty on the ground here. No snow blowing (we mostly let the Colorado sun melt it at our place :D), but we had some great tobogganing yesterday... first time we've ever done it on our property (moved in 1.5 years ago).

As of about Dec 1, we'd gotten over 23" for the winter, which is more than we had all last winter! :thumbsup: I'm looking forward to more snow this year, and fewer dead trees/bushes in the spring. [Last winter was extremely dry for us. This is the front range at the foot of the mountains, i.e. like Denver; in the Rockies is a different animal.]

We average about 120" per season here, so far weve had..... 10"

We got 2" yesterday, but they predict temps to be 38 tomorrow....so bye bye snow.

Calendar says December 31st here in the Northeast.

Raining to beat the band.!! :confused2:

Up to 16" on the way starting tomorrow night. Along with wind gusts up to 65 MPH. Winter's coming with a vengeance. And I'm doing a last minute project on our new tractor, putting a steel pipe edge protector on the bucket so it doesn't dig up the gravel.

sunny and 35 here today.....weird. no snow on the ground. not a happy boy

Had about 5" in early December and a dusting just before Christmas. Nothing since. They are talking upper 50's by Thursday of this week, and could even break 60 degrees. I'm not complaining one bit. NW Iowa.

Hoping the weather holds off a few more days from Iowa east. My daughter is driving back to Maryland and has a couple more days to go. I would rest easier knowing she had good roads.. not to spoil your tractor time, but what's a few days between friends? Happy New Year!
