Big snow on the way!!!

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,612]

I know some of you guys in the warmer states have no interest in dealing with snow. But in the winter it gives us "northerners" some seat time.

Well the weather guy is telling us to expect 8"-14" of the white stuff starting Friday around noon and ending sometime early Saturday morning.

I'm hoping to get the D-160 out for some snow clearing work and see what that 56" blade can do. I also have a "new to me" 42" single stage, tall chute, snow-chucker (thanks Buzz) that I'm itchin to try out.

Hopefully I can get someone to snap a few action shots .

Sparky I finally got some seat time the other night. We got around 5" here in Toledo and are expecting anywhere from 7" to 8" between tonight and tomorrow afternoon. So I have the 520h and the 518 setup and ready to go as the grandson might come over and we'll go for a cruise clearing sidewalks. I did a couple blocks the other night and had a great time. He said he wants to take a shovel along and clear walks up to the house to see if he can make a few dollars. Good luck Burly

Good Luck with the snow and don't forget to move the snow in Tony's driveway before he gets home.

Sparky,

I just finished the restoration of my 312-8 and can't wait for the snow that starts tomorrow. I will be plowing the entire neighborhood (like always). I am here in Ct. Happy plowing ... :banana: :horseplay: :horseplay:

Us here in jackson mich. got 1 foot got to use the c161 with the snowblower worked awesome :hide:

[Rollerman 290]

Here in Millersburg,IN...only about 2 or 3 inches...currently raining & freezeing on top of the snow too. :hide:

[Teddy da Bear 11]

Same here in Niles Stephen. We were suppose to get 5 to 10......looks more like 2 to 3 of ice crystals so far.

I want an apology from our weather man!

[Sarge 3,464]

This was one strange storm here . Got roughly 3" , although 1/2" of that is ice. Started out with nearly 1" of sleet , then the ice , then snow on top of that . If you can get the plow blade under it the stuff just pops off , otherwise a no-go for plowing without a lot of salt .

Pics soon -

[Teddy da Bear 11]

It's not that the weatherman is lying exactly...

He is just not telling us the truth about the fact

that it is not possible to predict weather with any degree

of certainty. One of those pretend professions I guess.

Well here are some action pictures from this afternoon. This was about 5 or 6 inches with another 8 to 10 to come :horseplay: :horseplay: !

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,612]

Well I got out to late for good pics and with a cheap camera and the snow reflecting back I ended up with crappy pics. Heres the 416-H with a 42" tall chute blower. I have owned a few of the short chute blowers and this one definately blows the snow higher and farther.

Again sorry about the lousy pics. I actually had about 15 pics to choose from and these were the best .

Nice pics Fireman . Way better than mine. You look like your doing 50MPH in that last one .

Did I mention I hate ice ??

The craziest part- the tire chains would break it up, then I could actually blade it off . Maybe time to add that super heavy cutting edge ?

:horseplay: Just thought I'd add another picuture to the mix from us CT guys. The blower did pretty well. Even better after I traded the chains off the plow tractor...

There are some good candidates for next year's calendar in this thread. Please hold on to those pictures for when we start next year's calendar (around late August).

Like Nick said on one of these posts they would make some nice Christmas cards.
