Pictures after this coming week!

It's hard to tell how much snow we got in my area of NH. The wind really picked up yesterday afternoon and there was places where the drifts were over a foot deep and places where there was no snow at all. I guess we're expecting more over the weekend; bring it on. The tractor is fueled, snow blower greased and ready to go. It was 0 degrees with a healthy "breeze" outside but it is 70 and comfortable inside. Roger

We got about 14" here but it all came in a short time. I left in the morning in rain and drove home a couple hours later in a white out with several inches on the road. Winds here were the big deal 30+ mph NW with gusts 60+. Nice and warm in the house anyway. Looks like more Sat. and Mon.
-
Bring it on! Radio said in the next 7 days parts of Maine could see up to 44" of white gold.
-
You guys up in Maine can have it. I will admit it was really beautiful out this morning when I was plowing , but it can melt now. I used to love snow could't get enough of it , more the better , but now I could go without it. Shoveling off staging , roofs , decks ect. gets old then trying not to slide off to your death gets old. Production goes down when you try to work in the snow. Seems like every winter we work outside , then it gets nice and we end up inside. Oh well we're big boys we can deal with it.
-
We had 18" this week and now we may be getting another 10-12 Tomorrow. Big Al i am with you, I am sick of cleaning up snow. But a 1/4 mile drive and clearing chicken coops etc adds up. The only beautiful snow is when its gone.
-
Have more mud than snow as off noon. Was quite bitter yesterday, was hooking up a G100 for a show, took the wife's hair dryer along to make the pex pliable enough to get the unions together. Today by noon if you weren’t parked on gravel you were stuck.

The numbers are in.

In the 60's in southern Indiana. Caight up on wood splitting and ran my motorcycle down the road and back.
-
My walkway, going to road at 630 pm. That's what we have on the ground right now.
-
Holy Moly! We didn't get that much where I am in NH. I think maybe a foot. I think I posted somewhere else for slimjim's benefit a couple of pics of my system to clear my yard. I tried to post a video of it but the site kept giving me the finger. Roger
-
That's what we had for the year before this last storm, still snowing with 20 plus inches right now.
-
A photo of the trampoline legs yesterday and today.
-
And of course weatherman says 8 to 12 for Wednesday and Thursday.
-
Break out the banana hammocks...
-
You ready Slim, I am in the white.
-
When I saw that earlier, I thought of you, good luck, baton down the hatches and let me know if you need anything.
-
I've been watching this and a few other posts about this winter's weather. Haven't said much because 1. Don't want to rub it in. 2. Don't want to jinx myself.
We have had 4 inches of snow total all season. Two 1 inchers and 1 2 incher. They all melted within 2 days. The forcast for the next 10 days has 7 days over 60 and 3 over 70. Never seen anything like it. I know, I know. A lot of winter left. We could get hammered with snow in March, that is when our biggest snowfalls come. We had frost in the ground for about 4 weeks from late Dec. to Late Jan. It's all gone now. No mud to deal with because no snow. We're getting cows off the crop fields so as not to pack the soil.
I'm behind you guys all the way. Be careful and stay safe with all that snow you're dealing with. Good luck.
-
Just a dusting I guess, about 8"
-
According to the skidoo reports our part of Ontario has had more than its share of snow resulting in 24" on our lawn but the next week will be above 0 every day... Its 5 degrees and sunny now, the wife is using the clothes line for the first time in a month..
-
You guys got it all wrong. I live in WIS. Usually have bad winters. In fact, when I was nee high to a grasshopper, it was nothing for the temp. to get to 30 below F. for a week straight, and berried in snow. A couple of years ago, we were getting 6-8" of snow ever other day. I had snow piled up almost 20' high and 40' long. This year I bough a 72" rear snowblower for my tractor, usually only used a blade, what a difference. Seems I chased all the snow to the east coast. We are now running, according to the weatherman, about 2'-3' below normal. Sure glad I bought a snowblower.
-
Stop blowing that snow our way then.
Been looking at blowers for my tractor, how do you like yours?

I bought a Frontier, sold by John Deere. I got a good deal on a new leftover 2016 model. Only got to try it a couple of times and the snow was wet and heavy. I could not believe how far this blower blew the snow. Works better then I could have ever imagine. Paid $3750, had a hydraulic turn spout and a hydraulic spout deflector.
-
I have the same one for my 1025r. It is amazing how far you can chuck snow with it. I waxed up the inside and the chute real well and it isn't hard to chuck snow 30 feet!
-
News says we lost 50" of snow in the last two weeks.

I have a 6ft Erskine on the front of my JD 4500. Due to a neck problem it prevents me from craning my head around for more than a couple of minutes. If I did, I'd be in such agony that I can't stand it. Granted the Erskine is pricey but for me it's worth it. And, that thing will toss the snow out of the way.
I can't remember the last time I saw snow disappear as quickly as it has this year. After this cold snap we're experiencing, it's supposed to warm into the 40's and 50's again starting Monday. Roger
-
We came up almost 2’ short of snow for this winter, sure made wood cutting a lot easier.
-
I think it's sad. I always loved having the snow. This year we only got 24" total and that's counting the 7 we got Wednesday.
-
Nice to have winter back here for a couple days. Newsman said today and tonight would be the coldest temps we have seen all winter. I love to run the boiler hard for a couple days , really cleans her out. Makes the creasote really easy to scrape off. And with wind gusts 40+ and this old house boiler spends a lot of time running. :thumbup:
-
I think this was one of the coldest days all winter, my thermometer never got above 8 today.
Brrrrr
-
It got up to 35 here today but felt really cold. Not sure if it was humidity or what. I would have guessed close to single digits if didn't look at the thermometer.

Same here, had some moisture in the air with a stiff breeze all day.

I agree, I think it was the coldest day by far and that wind! Wow! That was cold! But it was a toasty 72 inside the house. I think starting today the temps are to get into the 30's and then climb into 40's and 50's again mid week. Roger
-
January Temps in march here , saying two more weeks off this
-
Revx1000 - Where you from? I think I'll keep our temps, thank you. Roger

Sounds like here,-30's,, then right into central air conditioning ....[with a quick visit from the blackfly in between]
At least the ontario gov is doing something about the outrageous hydro rates.
Going down 25%+
-
Weatherman says another NorEaster for Tuesday into Wednesday.
Glad I changed the oil in my shovel, checked the muffler bearings in the snowblower, and I was going to change the air in my tires too summer air but didn. :bash:
-
I feel terrible, well not really it's going to be 85 here in Melbourne Florida today!
-
This week was -28 over nite with 20 km wind - 24 this morning. Now the weather man is saying by Monday noon plus 5c crazy weather . Going from plugging in the truck , driving with square tires to pulling the winter frt off . Guess I will be putting a few hours on the bobcat hauling the snow pile out to the dug out .

-20c/-4 f "here" [if you look at my signature here has relevance]
Your quite a salesman Slim!!
if you can sell boilers down there, you could probably sell ice to the eskimo's in the arctic.

You bring your bottled Maine sunshine down to sell?

Not selling boilers here guys, helping my mother in law pack to move to Maine however for some reason I think I may have sold 3 in Maine FROM here!
-
Lost some snow last week but down to minus 32C tonight. Won't be back above freezing until next Thursday. Some bare patches on the hardwood hillsides but the lake ice is getting thicker, its just too cold for this old guy to stand on it...
-

That's awesome on both counts! We've had below zero wind chills up here and I just got over 24 Hr burn time from my g200. Went out of state overnight from 5pm last night to just a few min ago and didn't want to trouble anyone to load it while I was gone so filled it 3/4 full with maple and came back to a full coal bed still going strong. High winds and a high temp of 12° during that time
-
If you ever get into that situation again, you dambded well better give me a call, neighbors work together in situations like that and you can bet that I may call on you the same way so don't be afraid to call!
-
Seems like winter is back for a while. Coldest we've had since January. Snow on the way.
My G100 'll be happy. :)

Didn't get above 5 today, wind is something, gusting to 40 anyway
-

Yah, Friday afternoon is literally the coldest I’ve been all winter. Not actually that cold, but the wind was extremely cold and had some moisture to it, a solid 20-25 MPH wind with upwards of 40mph gusts was bad enough, but where I grind feed between the buildings, silo’s and grain bins they all act like a funnel and amplifies wind speed, several times I was about ready to hug the engine block on the tractor.

First time I seen a MF20000 that was my first thought, the mother in law would fit in this easy.

8"+ of snow so far here and still coming down for the rest of the day. Wet and very sticky. :bash:
-
Sunny and nice here, the wife’s easter flowers are out and bloomed already.
Had to get the Bug Assault out even, now thats some good salty fun there.
-
We lost about 3 ft of snow the past few weeks, still a good 18" plus what we are getting today.
This heavy wet stuff will help melt the other, probably 5" today.

Your definitely ahead of us in New England, far as the whole flower thing lol

Need to get yourselves one, good fun. The gun shop I frequent took one and got to messing around, ended up with a laser site on it even by time they were done ;)

In the past week we have lost so much snow that I can pretty well fight my way thru anyplace I want to take the tractor. Granted it is 4 wd with chains and I use the FEL to pull myself thru many spots
-
Wow, and some here have mowed grass....
-
Wow, and some here have mowed grass....
Going to be at the point here shortly as well, course it never really got good and crispy during the winter either.
-
Lucky. We have another 4 to 8 of snow coming, no grass in sight
-
I'm and have been shutdown for the last two weeks and done for the year until next burning season.
-
Shut my stove down this last week. Going to clean the firebox tomorrow, test the water and get it all oiled down. My lawn is getting really green, I can bet in the next week or so I'll be out de-thatching my 3 acres and for my Dad and his neighbors
