We've got about 10" so far down here in East Bridgewater

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

24" so far, yaaay. Everyone should get them a 76 year old father/room mate.

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

Up to 28" here now, still haven't been out yet. Been slacking on letting my 19 and 17 year old daughter's and Dad take a break. Guess I'll have to crack the whip a little more tonight, bahahahaha.

 

[dz6t]

Got 18 inch here.

 

[chadfish]

Just 2-3” in North Conway.

Sunny and warm here in Westford.

Only 14” in Grafton

I hope everyone has hot coffee and flow this morning!....
24" in Foxboro and our lights never even blinked.
Sadly my wife's Zoomba class is on and I need to go snowblow......lol

 

[Cpage101]

depends on where you measure 16-20” but I have snow drifts over 5’ deep too

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

Todays episode, 25 year old snow blower finally died.

 

[Cooper2]

The term "died" can vary...... I'd rather fix and oldie any day and after buying new equipment and being disappointed I'm only buying old stuff and restoring it from now on. My Power steering equipped, heated handlebar, headlit Troy-Bilt snow blower locked up on a 1" stone and smoked the belt. The old Simplicity blower I once had built in the 70's could vaporize a small concrete bunny. It happened twice actually!.....
Just a puff of gray dust and kept going. I deeply regret letting that go...

I think the term "well engineered" really describes how cheaply something can be made and last till 1 week after the warranty expires.

I'll take all the old dead snow blowers out there thank you very much, and happy to help anyone fix theirs!

 

[Cooper2]

I see the 76 year old still running in the background of your pic............see what I mean?...Hahaha!

It's been maintained throughout it's life. The last few years it's chugged along but like anything in today's world, there is a time for retirement. It was grossly undersized for a 200' driveway that is 75' of double wide with a 3 car width turn around. Oh and its had it's fair share of vaporizing things. Cobblestone lined gravel driveway. I remember shooting stones 40 ish feet through the air years ago and even when the snow melted from the cars having a few broken windows too.

Last year the 25 year old lawn tractor was retired as well. Maybe we'll go redneck and drop a small block chevy in that for some fun, lol.

Definitely don't make them like that anymore, he can't sit still. In the spring and summer months, this place looks like a well maintained golf course.

 

[joe0813]

was out plowing for 25 hours... red bulls did very well for me

What small block Chevy? You really need the cool high tech one from the hot new Land Roll-over Defender v6, so that you can enjoy the check engine light not long after it was driven off the dealer’s lot brand new. I don’t make this up, it is on You Tubbb.
