Since this the first big storm of the season, post up your totals. And if it's a wash... Oh well. |

I mainly keep the driveway in good shape for the oil guy and mail lady. Car accidents all over the place on the scanner. https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/141 Good day to stay home. |

So 5 -10 in my area is the guess. I spent last night getting my last mulch in as my neighbors refuse to pick up their leaves. Then I swapped the mower deck out for the blower total time swap 1:10 in the cold and dark. gotta say those little spring clips JD has SUCK HARD. little bastard coming off sprung off and right into my lower lip splitting it. GRR Anyway set and ready for when I get home tonight |
| Got a good 4" so far (Thats what she said, Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk). Supposed to keep it up until 1am. I'll drag the tractor blade around this evening so the wife can get out of the driveway. |

| Got about 5 here but it was likely a bit higher before it settled. Fluffy stuff does that. |

I got a new spring coming for the tensioned idler hoping that fixes my issue. I noted the belt was slipping as the engine rpm was good but the blower rpm was loping |

But when I said tractor, I mean one with a front end loader and heated cab...

We have a new bingo game going on this weekend. All of us are likely to get 12-18" before it's over. Maybe 2 feet over by the coast. It's about time we had a real storm. geesh... |

I haven't been out to shovel yet but it looks like about a foot here in the Upper Valley. |

| Just got done moving the snow around with the tractor. Got a decent 14"-15". And it started back up after I got done. Weather guessers are saying up to another 6" possible today. |

| Just went out to shovel out the mailbox and had to re-shovel the walkway because we got another 4" since the first shoveling. So 14" 16"? Still snowing at a good clip. |

This last round was about 8 inches in Derry. Man since I changed the spring this belt on my blower has been awesome. I was burning thru them every other storm. Now I am like 3 storms in and I abused the crap out of that belt all 3 of them and its barely slipped. knock on wood I can get one more out of it. |

Cutting the path around the house the snow is up as high as my seat on the X590 .. Makes me think twice about giving it the pickle when it gets difficult to push thru and the tires start to spin with the dif engaged. I nearly got in trouble last night but my better thoughts got me to back out and try making the loop from the other end. |
| The last 2 storms added another 9" or so. With the warmer weather, I didn't concentrate too much on removal until the delivery guy got stuck. Moved a few wet inches of hard pack around to get him out and hopefully the sunlight to burn off the rest. |
