This is our first REAL snowstorm of the season. Yesterday I removed 8" in the AM, then worked at the sugarhouse. I came home for lunch and blew out about 6" more. When I came home at about 5 I had to remove about 10" more. This morning I have about another foot to remove. I sure hope the snow blower will handle it, this stuff is very heavy with temps at 34 degrees. I always have more than my share to clean up too, I am the first house around a corner, with a side street beside me. The city cleans the side first and plows it onto my street. Then they do my street and put their wing down plowing about 80% of the width right into the mouth of my driveway. Right now I have a pile about 4' deep in the mouth of the driveway, while the other side has nothing. When the plows do the rest they will have a foot or less. This is a lesson to me and anyone who will listen, don't buy the first house around a corner if the side street is plowed first. After I build my new house out where my sugarhouse is I will be over .3 miles from the corner and there I will be able to use my tractor and loader.
How much snow do others get from this storm? My total I had to remove is at about 34-36" of heavy wet snow. When I get to the sugarhouse I'll need to clear about 18-20" down there. That will take a few hours if I clear the entire drive and the parking lot, including my big circular drive loop. Some of it might wait until Sat.
