I was wondering how all of our friends at the coast of New England or anyone in line of fire made out regarding the storm.  I live on the western border of NH next VT and received about a foot of snow.  It was hard to guage but the general feeling was we received somewhere in the 12 to 13 inch range.  That wind sure was brutal yesterday.  The pic in my avatar shows what I use to clear my and my neighbor's yards.  That a 40Hp JD 4x4 with a heated cab and a n Erskine snow blower that's 6ft wide.  It will take the snow from point "A" and deposit it approx. 50ft away to point "B".  All the while the wind was blowing, I was inside nice and toasty with the OWB stoked for the day.  Roger

That is a nice machine Roger, I've admired it all along.  I'd like to get a snow thrower for our JD 870 28hp sometime.  Mostly I use my truck with plow.  Break out the JD with bucket every once in a while to push back the snow banks if needed.  We don't seem to get the snow we used to though, at least for now.   I'm located in pretty far Eastern Maine next to Calais which borders St. Stephen NB.  I figure I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 to 16".  Really hard to guage.  Wind was brutal.  Drifting was crazy.  I hardly have any snow build-up on my house or greenhouses except where my OWB room butts up against my main greenhouse.  There is about a 5' drift up there and my exhaust fan has snow against the shutters rendering it useless.  So that's where I'm heading now to get some of that shoveled off.  I heard Southern Maine was supposed to get buried pretty good, but I have not actually seen any snow totals for that area.

Yes   I'm jealous  Roger I hate seeing that picture  I would love to have that   JD.         I have one but a lot smaller 42" snowthrower and no cab and no snow this year.  So far  I'm glad I went through the trouble of taking mower deck off and putting on the snowthrower.   Oh well.

I just got power back it went out Friday, I love this weather but not when I have to send a ton of $ on gas for a generator, I had some extra shoveling some windows were covered from drifts. All in all it is great
