I measured just under 19" laying in the backyard today. Now we are expected to get another 3-6 inches.

That is my winter Soob in the driveway. The snow that is on it is just since this morning.

What are all of the snow plows doing with the snow? I imagine that the sides of the roads would pile up too much after 19" of snow.

Everywhere you go there is about a 2' embankment along the roadside. If you spin out it seems that you just bounce off. Local grocery stores have front loaders in their parking lots filling dump trucks and hauling the snow out. At the mall it is piled up to about 15 feet in some places.

Nice! Especially your pic, 84300DT. I'd love to have that much snow over here for a change. A lot of sunny, dry weather gets boring too.

snow? no prob.

Had more snow than usual last week. Had to give the little tractor a shot of testosterone. My wife thinks we over-did it.

GS, awesome tractor. My wife got a little giddy when she saw it. She runs twin Ariens 18hp. One for the "yard" cutting and another with a plow. Not quite as big as yours.

Wink a couple more ... and it will be the end !

Since a couple weeks, snow was (slowly) melting and it looks like the winter's end (we can't already talk of spring, it's only march up here ). A couple more like that, and it will be true

What's boring about the snow? These pictures conjure up thoughts of hopping on a snowmobile, and going on a nice 150 mile ride! How I wish winter existed where I live. BRING IT ON!!!!!
