Unbelievable amount of snow for the high desert...:confused2::eek:. I have about 5-6 hours into digging out of a grand total of 39.75" over 3 days. The piles are 5-6' high and go all the way down the drive for about 1500'. Had to do it all with the bucket. If this keeps up for the rest of the season, I'll definitely need to buy a blower!

Ha, better you than me! We had a lousy fall and now having a nice winter (so far) in this part of Ohio.

Hey, looks like the bright side is you have sun and blue skies after you push snow.

Geez... I would NOT like to deal with that. No snow here so far in SW Missouri. I think we were in the 60's today.

It’s been raining like crazy here. Record setting 80 inches last year. Today was sunny and about 60 degrease.

Now, that much snow would move me off my big 'ol rear blade and into a blower also. That's a good job and represents a LOT of bucket work. One winter out of the 37, I had snow like that. Fortunately, I had a blower. We will normally have 12 to 18 inches on the ground.

Way to much snow for my liking :( you shouldn't get cabin fever keeping up that much snow. :eek:

FYI - once you buy a blower, IT WILL NEVER SNOW AGAIN. I purchased my current home in 2015 and the MT180D with rear blade from the prior owner. In February 2016, we received 4-5 feet of snow in <24 hours. Rear blade useless; had to hand shovel for 3 days. The entire area was paralyzed. Purchased my Meteor rear blower in summer 2016. We have not had a decent measurable snow since. On the other hand, it is cheap insurance to guarantee no more snow lol.

I have the same issue except it was a new snowblade that I bought.
Nothing but some dirty snow with a bunch of ice underneath!
That black blade sure looks shiny and pretty setting on the lawn:{

We got that same storm here in Maryland, but only 3’. I had a blower and was the only equipment on the road for almost 3 days. I did get a cab tractor as a result of being out in the weather for a total of 24 machine hours...
