So what was the total snowfall amount for you guys northeast?

I'm saying around 4-5" here north jersey I'll know when I get my reports

In my area of NH we got maybe 4 to 5 inches of snow.  I know by the coast where my cousins live, they got around 2 feet of the stuff, the lucky people.  She, my cousin said she may move north to get away from the snow.     Roger

My intention is not to rub it in, but when the storm hit there, it was in the 70's here, record highs.   we get back down in the single digits/teens by Monday so January is getting back to normal.  But, the national media was talking up the storm before it hit as the storm of the millennium, talking like it apparently had never snowed in New England before.  I know you folks have seen snow and can handle whatever is thrown at you, but the drama created by the national media outlets was pretty hilarious drama    Glad you weathered the storm though and are getting back to normal!

I think the official total for the Biddeford / Sanford area was 31 inches, OH GOODY, I just let the dogs out and it's SNOWING AGAIN!!!!!!!

It's funny how some of these storms travel.  Take yesterday; I live in Enfield NH which approximately a 1/2 drive to Hanover NH where I work.  In Hanover they got perhaps 2 or 3 inches of snow and that's stretching it.  When I got home in Enfield we had approximately 5 maybe 6 inches of snow on the ground.  To say I was surprised to see that much in Enfield is an understatement.  I'll fire up the tractor later this morning to clear the yard.  Roger

[aries9245]

We had maybe 6-8" of wet heavy snow Sunday, then another 6-8" of lighter stuff Monday.

I'm getting tired of pushing snow, a buddy plowed 32 hours straight which I think is nuts. His boss needs to reconsider his priorities, from experience on the farm you start working that many hours and fatigue will definitely cause accidents.

Was up early Sunday, plowed enough around the farm to get around, wife was up so went to breakfast at the local Legion, got done with breakfast and went and plowed a cousins, then a friends right next to her, then went and did three landlords drive, changed clothes as Sunday was the mens, ladies aux and SAL meetings at the Legion, plowed that lot as well, they cancelled the meetings, so went to top the plow truck off. Local gas station wanted to fill me up if I plowed their lot after, told em I'll plow it first then you fill it up. By then was getting dark, got up Monday and redid everything from the day before then spent the rest of the day on the farm getting all the drives plowed enough to get the semi around without getting hung as we have soybeans to deliver. Then plowed the half mile lane back to the woods so I could feed cows.

Can say the plow truck doesn't use near as much gas since installing a new tank 

Gonna yank the bed off my totaled Cummins, have the frame straightened the best they can, then install a flat bed with a hoist and a plow as the less than 10mpg the Chevy is getting is ridiculous.

Can't beat the old cummins .. The really destroying the new one I bought 2012 2 yrs ago the cummins has that DEF fluid crap and all the emissions bogging it down they killed this motor..

I tried to post some pics of my Friend / neighbors 50 x 100 canvas topped Quonset hut that caved in on top of all his equipment 2 days ago, we got the crane truck that he uses for setting the concrete form cages and his service truck out without any further damage but there is still a lot of stuff in there buried under the broken frame and canvas, it took my Cat, a Volvo excavator and a pulp loader to lift the frame enough to clear the trucks, the scary part was going inside to cut the canvas and rig the spreader bars. Nobody got physically hurt and Derek can now get back to work but Please let this be a lesson to us all, TODAY PLEASE look up at your roofline, if there is a lot of snow up there, GET IT OFF!

That's something a lot of people don't think about is snow load and when these storms come back to back you really need to pay attention.. Slim any damage to equipment
