About eight inches so far. The wife took these while I was plowing.

Nice hat, Tom. Tractor is nice too. I was disappointed with 2 inches of snow that we got. Specially after I spent a cold day outside in the hut getting the blower mounted on the 716H.

Doesn't seem that long ago we were drinking beer in the hotel parking lot at GOTO in short sleeves, does it guys?8DIt's now 11:15 EST here, I have about a foot on the ground and it's still coming down. Gave both driveways another quick hit and I'll have to do the real good cleanup in the morning before work. BTW: Elon, did you ever get the dinner pic's developed from GOTO?

The snown started here in Hunterdon county in western NJ about 9:30 yesterday morning. I waited 'till 9 at night before I went out and took care of about 8 inches. Figured I'd do it in stages that the blower on the 6116 could handle. Thank heavens I put a cab on 2 years ago. The 30 mph wind and 5-10 degree tempearture made sure that the snow was really moving around. It looks like another 3-5 inches out there this morning with some small drifts. I can't even tell that I took care of the walkway last night.

This is what I woke up to this morning. It's supposed to keep snowing and blowing till this afternoon. We'll have to see what the total is then. So far we got a far cry from what they thought. Still with the drifs, it sould make for some dificult snow removal.

I'm not sure if Melaine did get them put to disk. When she wakes up I'll have to ask her. I'll let you know. Elon

Good luck to all of you on the east coast as heavy snow and wind can be dangerous. And as for all of you that kept saying send us some snow to play in, well, there you go! This storm only left about 6 inches here in western Michigan but we are at over 80" inches for the year and I'll try and send more out to you as I'm a little sick of it. Great Pictures guys.

In northen Vermont we didn't get enough to justify starting the tractors not even enough to justify taking the broom and sweeping it. just enough to say we got some.

Great pictures guys keep em coming!! Sounds like you guys in the Boston area are going to get lambasted. Have fun out there but be careful not to over do it in that cold. Some of us ain't as young as we used to be.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
