oliver2-44 9,696 #1 Posted January 10, 2021 We haven't seen snow in Central Texas for several years. I don't know what to do!!!! Almost Wishing it would build up enough to try plowing. It's big wet heavy flakes. My C-160 has weights,, chains and the grader blade on it. It wouldn't take much to put the plow on. Then the neighbors (and wife) would really know I'm crazy! 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #4 Posted January 10, 2021 We had snow here new years eve. We have 2" here so far today and its still coming down, though it isn't cold enough for it to last. If I had a plow, I would hook it up and use it just because! My neighbor is a nurse and works nights and is sleeping, or I'd go start one of mine and take some snow pictures with it! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting how climates vary so much and that we get to talk to people from all over about what they've experienced. We don't even bat an eye at 6". I can't remember what the most snow I've ever seen from one storm is. I've seen over 30 inches multiple times. I do remember very vividly the most I've seen in one season which was in the spring of 2005 when I moved into the house I'm in now. I had been renting for several years and not needing to clear my own snow. All I had was a couple of snow shovels. In the 7-week time period from the last week of February through the first week of April we got over 7 FEET of snow. That was somewhat challenging to say the least.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a picture of my lil bro in the back yard, the pic shows "March 1960" when it was printed. He was 4 y.o. at the time. You can see the top of his wool hat. That's all! So what's that, 36" at least? As I recall it snowed for a day and a half. Either my bro was below average height (he wasn't) or this record is in error: Quote March 2-5, 1960 - Category 4 snowstorm (crippling) Almost all of northern and central New Jersey was hit with 10 to 20 inches of snow during this storm, with some northern towns getting as much as 20 to 30 inches. Most of South Jersey got 4 to 10 inches. We've had a few 30" falls here at the Ponderosa since we moved in in '84.
