I missed it the last few storms as they fell on my days off.

Got about 11 inches,, very powdery, always looks so pretty here, very little wind. Especially compared to the last storm.

Same up north Willy. Somewhere between 10"-14" depending on the wind drifts. Light and powdery, easy to blow with the snowblowers. Getting kind of tired of the snow though. Ahhh well.. can't do much about it.

If you & Willy didn't live in another country, you may not have as much snow.

For us southern boys anything past the mason dixon line is Canada.

I ended up with about 9" but it had rained and man this stuff was hard to shovel! The snow blower kept getting clogged so it was the shovel all the way, Man my back is killing me!!!

I hear ya MJ, it's not the inches is the weight....

Would much rather have the 1-2 feet of the light stuff. Having the slushy stuff also stinks because you need to remove it before it freezes.

I'm more than ready for the cruise we just booked, March 3rd....

Truly sorry about your back MJ.. been there.. not a fun thing.

I have 2 snow blowers (well 3 actually, but one is a small 2 stroker) Anyways, the 2 big ones both have the exact same engine. (5 hp Tecumseh) One is a Craftsman and the other is a Snapper...both are 2 stage, both have the same width and height. The Craftsman constantly gets clogged with wet snow, the Snapper just laughs, sends it flying and looks for more. I don't know what it is about Snapper snow throwers, but I've seen and bought a lot of them at work. They just seem to keep working when others clog up. You get what you pay for I guess.

Funny you should say that Garagenc. For us Yankees, anything south of the Mason-Dixon is rain forest.

Rain forest, LOL
