No pictures this morning - will take some in the morning.
Ground is not frozen solid, so had to be careful not to dig into the lawn.

The 3-5" turned into 10" :lol:
Didn't have my phone with me, so no photos. :( ....maybe next time.

My Jeep is pushing this wet heavy frozen snow. I don’t think my cub could do it. I could be wrong. It’s so thick and frozen I could stand on 4”/6” of it.
My son plowed last night but more snow came overnight. He’s plowing again.

My oldest son got my jeep running again, cleaned the points, my youngest son is plowing.
There’s no “I” in team. I have the best sons.

My #3 int154 needs new battery cables, carb cleaned, bolt put in the flywheel. She has the duo chains, the plow and weights on her already. I hope to get it running next. It would be nice to see how it plows.

I always get more snow than my neighbors do. It’s the moon and stars causing it? Lol

Bill that is a nice pic!
In fact, that’s Christmas card worthy!
On a side note I followed up on another plow/grader set up. It had been on CL and though it was pretty cheap (like me ;) ) I was doing my best to resist.
Then yesterday I look on Facebook marketplace and it’s there too only with a price drop. I’ve said it before, if you dangle the right part in front of me, at a cheap enough price, I’ll bite. So I took the drive today and upon arriving I ask Bill if he’s heard of farmallcub.com. He says yes he’s “Drifting “!
Small world huh? :)
Despite the sub-arctic temps we had a nice visit.
Gotta tell ya, his Cub looks as nice or better in person. Yes Bill you did a nice job on that. You should be proud.
Back on the snow, I’m on the Jersey Shore, 8 miles from the ocean so we only got a dusting.
Bill on the other hand , well he has a proper Currier and Ives scene at his place. Very pretty up there.

hello all from the somewhat chilly south ( 40* this morning, high today in the 70's , couple days ago in the 80's ) . not sure about mike , he's "way up there" in north louisiana . looks like my last cut of grass was about 3 weeks ago . winter gives me time to do a lot of the maintenance ( 5 cubs at this time ) without being in the " summer steam bath season " . coppersmythe.....................PS: setting aside january to try and finish the '48 high and wide , counting on y'all for some much needed advice . Bill , PERFECT picture!!

I think it would be great if the eastern seaboard got a lot of snow. I'd also be pretty happy if the Ohio valley and Canada got lots of it.

Depends on how ready for it you are.
We were supposed to get 5-8 so I made sure my Cub was ready and my neighbor did the same with his (he hasn’t had a snow worth plowing since I got his Cub running last winter).
With two cubs fired and ready old man winter decided it’d be no fun so we just got that dusting. Feel like if I get the plow on the SA we’ll end up in shorts for the rest of the winter too. :)

I'm in agreement with Dale - you guys can keep the snow. I'll take a nice, mild winter myself - no to little snow, and no ICE!!!!
