Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
I used to think a foot was overwhelming until i got up and saw 2 feet plus with 5 ft. drifts on the roof. Can't get to the barn to get the snowblower out yet and it's too windy anyway. Sun is starting to peek thru.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
About 2'+ here on the north shore of Long Island. Drifts were 3-4' in places. The roads in my neighborhood are still waiting for a plow.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
I have about 1/4 of my plowing done.A lot of the roads aren't plowed where I have to go,so that lets me off the hook with the people who are anxious.If I plow them out they can't go anywhere anyway.My main casualty so far is my yellow light on the top of the truck.I have a 96 Dodge 3/4 ton with a Cummins in it,the snow is coming up over the plow,over the hood,over the windshield,then over the roof,taking the light with it.It looks like I have 30 inches in the front yard,I have two rotweilers that look like submarines going through it.Just the heads sticking up as they race around.Their backs are over two feet tall.They seem to like it.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
IN south Jersey a few inches-no big deal.
We live in a terrible state as- the world thinks.... no tornadoes, no snakes, no earthquakes and a WAWA on every corner! We didn't even lose power during Sandy..... I can't stand it..... Tastykakes anyone....? |

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
It was up to my crotch walking up to the barn to get the tractor out, not counting drifts. Got the tractor going and it took an hour to open the drive enough to get to the house, and got stuck. Had to shovel out the tractor. Went back up and took off the plow and put on the bucket, and removed the snow one bucket full at a time until I could make it to the street. I opened the neighbor's driveways and by then I was cold and getting leg cramps and a sore back from twisting around to see when backing. Neighbor came with kids to shovel the walk to the back door, which I had to force open to get out. Had to walk close to the house to get to the driveway, as there was a 4 foot drift in the walk. 5 foot drifts on the roof. Hope some melts before it rains. Pictures later.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
I called My Son up in Northeastern NY, he said about 14". He was just getting ready to go out and Plow. This was at 9:00 am this morning. I was just applying Sun Blok at a Car Show west of Sarasota with the Model A Huckster. His Mother went with me, and wished I had dropped her off at Venice Beach for the Day. Temp here today was 82 - 83 and Not a Cloud in the Sky.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
30" here in SE CT, 14 miles inland, with much higher drifts. The wind scoured the main house roof almost clear, but dumped everything on the ell roof. Guess I'll be raking tomorrow.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
I unloaded the camera, and here is what I got. The snow looks deeper in real life. That is a 45 HP Massey Ferguson. I need chains for the front tires.

Re: How Much Snow Did You Get Here In New England??
Most of our roofs are pretty clear.The wind kept them scoured pretty well.I just finished plowing,now I can plow my own yard.We have four stations in town that sell diesel,every one was out.I don't think I've ever seen that before.I had to rob 5 gallons from my furnace to get through the plow route.Tomorrow I'll get to spend 4 or 5 hours on the Bobcat cleaning around the garages,parking spots,and piling up the snow.Years ago I would spend 20-40 hours in a plow truck,then spend another 10 in a dump truck hauling snow out of the center of town.I'm not missing that.In the blizzard of 78 I worked for a couple of weeks for different people.I jumped from loader to loader,to a grader,to a farm tractor.I slept mostly on steering wheels but I was 22 and didn't need much sleep.This little storm took me 20 hours,but I slept in the middle.
