Lane Ranger 10,943 #1 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Well it started snowing here around 5:30 am today. I cleaned off the drive about two hours ago and you would not know I was even out there when looking out the window! I used the 1963 Wheel Horse 633 and she amazed me several times when pushing a very heavy load of snow! Edited January 5, 2014 by Lane Ranger 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,943 #7 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) I think I have snow pushed 12 feet into the yard on each side of the 24 foot wide concrete drive! Just finished the second round! Moved another 4 inches. We have every bit of 10 to 12 inches of snow! We used the broom on the dogwoods because the limbs were about to the ground! And it is raining 45 miles southwest of here? Crazy! Edited January 5, 2014 by Lane Ranger 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,125 #8 Posted January 5, 2014 After all that snow...hope it doesn't start raining there too. Just in case, is the generator set up/ready to go Lane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,943 #9 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) My generator is at my parents! I am SOL if the lines go! And it is on my C-121 ! Plus I noticed I was about to loose one of my wheel weights on the 633 as one bolt lost a nut on one side. So I repaired that and back to business Edited January 5, 2014 by Lane Ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 761 #12 Posted January 6, 2014 Well it started snowing here around 5:30 am today. I cleaned off the drive about two hours ago and you would not know I was even out there when looking out the window! I used the 1963 Wheel Horse 633 and she amazed me several times when pushing a very heavy load of snow! That's nature's way of telling you, you should have bought a White Toyota . Great pics and 633+, Thanks. Just relentless torrential Rain, flooding, high winds and mild Temps over here. Glad to see your back to health . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,943 #14 Posted January 6, 2014 I went out this am with the 1967 Wheel Horse Lawn Ranger and the 32 inch snowthrower! It was zero degrees and three more inches of snow on the drive but what was wet and heavy yesterday was now light and fluffy! I moved the snow for an hour (sorry no action pics this time) and ran the tractor back in the garage. I wanted to finish off the drive with the 1963 Wheel Horse 633 and 42 inch snowplow ! But went to start it and the CHOKE CABLE was frozen in place! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kegler 68 #15 Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like what we had here. Bright sunny -12 deg right now about 70 miles north of Indy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,698 #16 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Lane...looks like we are all having a real winter this year. It is starting to look like the winter of 1978 here. I am a lot older now and have run out of places to push the white stuff. At least, so far, it has been the light powdery stuff. Be safe out there. BTW...excellent pictures mate.

Lane Ranger 10,943 #17 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I wish I had my B-80 and plow set up with the rubber tire chains! I may have to do in the am ! We have to drive to Decatur, Illinois to meet a friend of my daughters that they are staying with tonight to get out of Springfield airport in the am to get home to Corpus Christie, Texas. Southwest which she was on cancelled two flights and was not able to get her on until Thursday to get home. She's taking American Airlines from Springfiled. We are leaving in 20 minuted and it is 10 degrees below now! Weird one. But I can say the snow has quit -actually stopped last night around 10 PM!

stevasaurus 22,698 #18 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) It is blizzard conditions out there Lane...check with the state police first and see what roads are closed. Northern Indiana toll roads were all closed to day due to accidents and drifting. I'm talking INTERSTATE 65, 90, 80/94. Be careful.

608KEB 795 #21 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I remember the winter of 78-79. In south central Wisconsin my brother and I delivered the Wiscosin State journal newspaper. There were about 20 days the tempature was between -20 and -1. It never went above 0. We laugh about it now. But at the time the tires would go flat almost everyday and you had to finish the paper route pushing the bike.Good times!!
