My snow blowing day was yesterday. Hoping I don't need to start it up today. I have decided that I would rather see temps stay below freezing most of the time and not hover just above freezing. It is just a PITA when the ground stays soft all winter. On the plus side I'm getting better at using the bucket without digging up my driveway and lawn.

letting it warm a little before heading out soon.

In OUR Etna, we got about 12", maybe a tad more. Hit it with 10" down, then again the next morning before temps warmed up and it turned to slush. Agree--- MUCH better when the snow isn't slushy!
Had to hit everything again this morning (didn't take long) as we got another 1" or so overnight.
Love my pavement! With warmer temps today -- even a bit of sunshine-- everything's clearing off beautifully. Man, I love that tractor and its snowblower!

Made two stops today, so when I put the grapple on my shelf it cannot fall over like it did the last time. This is a Homestead Implements grapple that has flats on the side ends, so it can stand up by itself, but if you push too much when attaching it, you can push it right over.

Had about 10" of snowfall the last 2 days and Springtime is on the way!
Watched the neighbors dog yesterday, see picture, and cleared their driveway also.
I didn't install my 4 tire chains this winter and with my 50% wore out tires,
I had to push their snow down the driveway and not up the driveway.
Also did a lot of slipping just driving up the driveway.
Suns out mostly today and it's already 26F. Yeah...

well supposed, from MANY entities, was gonna gonna have 10" on ground.

the 40mph winds did affect me but...as of 8am this morning all clear.
all that screaming for nothing.
family and I have thought about paying for me (at 55 yrs old) to go back to school, get meteorology degree and get paid for being wrong every storm.

I decided against it.enough people hate me as is LOL
