SNowed all night, but very light stuff, about 4-6" outside (I think), need to go out shovel before work....roads might be interesting for my 15 mile drive....haven't heard the plows yet.

Whole trees down (4"-6" diameter), lost power only briefly, vacuumed the flu while down this morning, back up and running.

We got maybe 1-2 inches of snow in Sunbury PA. Lots of wind right now and blowing snow. So much for the 8-12 they forcasted for us here.

We got about 2" of rain yesterday & last night. The river has formed in the basement once again ...

Looks like it started snowing here sometime between 4-6 AM. Only a couple inches so far ....

Was able to repair my winch line just in time. Tried a ballpoint pen as a fid, but was too big. Ended up using a section of aluminum wire with the insulation burned off. Back in business & cost me -0- . 8-)

We had over 4" of rain on the Mid Coast with heavy winds , over 40 mph. The power is still out from 12:45 AM. Our water cooled Honda 6.5 kw. has about 1/2 the house powered up on a 30 amp. sub panel.
Last night while loading / shaking the stove, I closed the baro and the Dwyer draft gauge read -.2 WC.
I have never seen the draft so high.....

Well,the good news is,the house is nice & toasty,thanx Hitzer--got the end of & up to the house plowed so Momma can get out to get to the airport in Syracuse---the drifts are way bad down to the barn,so,I figured I crank up my old JD blower & tackle them--did all sorts of maintenance on it when I got it this summer--she started up great ,runs great,auger works great--put it in fwd--pulled the go handle aaaaand--snap- :blowup:

---pulled bottom shroud off & have a long chain hanging out from somewhere--not the short one that's easy to get to--the longer one--never been into it,but I bet I'll learn alot about it today--maybe I can put an old Harley chain to her---go faster???

I've just confirmed 28" at my place. I have a big dog, but he can't handle this depth and he bottoms out. I'm afraid he'll scrape his muffler off!

Hey Lola & PE - ya know this is the NY page? I can't even measure what's here - 4-5 feet in places. On break from shoveling. The 2 plow trucks broke down - what a mess. Got a winter's worth of snow in a week. May not get out til May

I have a big dog, but he can't handle this depth and he bottoms out. I'm afraid he'll scrape his muffler off!

My big dog is luving it - Husky weather - he doesn't have a muffler :lol:

Lola - can you even see your car?

Stay safe.

Had about 18 inches here so far. In Altamont they had 30 inches. It's still snowing here in the hill country and I expect another foot before it's done.

We looked forward to the Altamont Fair as schoolkids. We would get the tickets delivered to the classroom. The greatest thrill as a kid, the rides, the livestock, the food, the games!!
Got dug out OK today, amazing storm. Last night late it was raining! This morning light snow, must've really snowed heavy overnight. Almost done at around 2PM, the sun would come out, then it was like a blizzard again, with snow that looked like little tiny pellets.
I busted shear pins three times, this damn gravel driveway! Always on one side, little rocks jam between the housing and auger so tight I have to bash 'em out with a hammer and punch.
