biltno 32 #26 Posted January 30, 2023 That is pretty incredible Rochester had little snow. I think all of us in Connecticut havent seen more than a total of 3 inches that was quickly washed away. I believe. Two months held the warmest ever record. It is supposed to go down to -5 for one night then right back into the 40's. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHGuy413 2,688 #30 Posted January 31, 2023 Here in western mass I live in what is considered the valley. We haven’t gotten much for snow. The boys did plow 2 small storms. I plowed the heavy wet stuff last week. But with the warm and the rain we have only maybe 1-2 inches on the ground here. The big 2stage hasn’t even made an appearance this winter. I wouldn’t be upset if I didn’t get to use it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #32 Posted January 31, 2023 I’m happy with no snow here in central Ct. I did upgrade my walk behind Ariens snowblower, back in November, to a newer model with a brighter headlight and heated hand grips. Haven’t used it once! Kinda feel bad for the landscape guys that make a living clearing snow in the winter months, gotta be tough on them. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,130 #33 Posted January 31, 2023 Here's hoping... another new one next year will have the same effect. C'mon bro, we'll all be counting on you! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the last couple weeks we've had something like 29 in he's of snow and some sleet ice rain to add in just for the hekkuvitt. Eric nice picks and I like that overhang. It serves two purposes. Slippery slides are the best for up north. Also, you have a loader now that is a plus. Edited January 31, 2023 by Retired Wrencher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biltno 32 #35 Posted January 31, 2023 I totally forgot to mention (probably because i used it once last winter) I purchased a brand new 3 stage snow blower for the walkways and retired a Yardman 5 hp. blower i bought new like 29 years ago. I bought it before my 1989 416-8 and i was actually very surprised it lasted as long as it has! I may keep it for a backup. Ill see how is goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know for a fact this works to prevent snow. Two or three years ago I purchased my brand new Ariens commercial walk behind snowblower with a brighter headlamp and heated hand grips and it did not snow up here for a lot of January or February. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's an Ariens S16H. I picked it up with a Horse that is now owned by @OldWorkHorse. Originally got it for the engine but I've decided to leave it whole because I've read online and been told in person that it's quite the working machine if it was up and running. Not likely I'll do anything with it so I've decided to sell it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About five years ago I was lamblasted for replacing my blowers with plows. "you'll cause some major blizzards" After this year, I'll probably replace the heated plow tractors with air conditioned mowers. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,968 #43 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Not the Northeast but my sister Connie’s place in Steamboat Springs , Colorado is on the west side of Steamboat. They live in an area that is mostly a valley that has revived tons of snow. They built a barn several years ago where the windows are eight foot high on the side of the barn. The snow is six to seven or eight feet high in some areas. I have a couple photos. Homeowners regularly use big brooms with very long handles to clear snow from their roofs. My sister and her family has already removed snow several times this season. One of the pictures I am posting shows her neighbors on their roof removing snow. it’s is a real problem to find a place to put the snow!
