I've been watching the South Eastern front for a week and there is another coming in from Canada. These would seem to me to be the ingredients for 4' of partly cloudy. All week the forecasters have been "poo-pooing" the chance of a storm predicting that it will go out to sea and perhaps brush Cape Cod. Finally today they have raised the potential for 2, 4, or even 6". If so it will be my fault. The model 47 blower is still way back in the shed and not on the Deere x748!
Is anybody besides me worried about this storm in New England?

Finally snowing here--was nothing all morning,the sun even poked out a few times before 10 am...now its starting to stick to my driveway,at first only the grass had a dusting on it..road looks like its sticking also,only 2 tire tracks and the yellow line showing,it'll be covered up soon if it keeps coming down steady like it is now..
My area may not get the predicted 4-7" due to mixing with rain--seems like my town is always right on the cusp of the rain/snow line and we get that wet cement snow that plugs snowblowers up and weighs 40 lbs per shovel full...if it snows after dark when it cools off a few more degrees though,we could be the "jackpot" area too though..

5.3" so far here. and it's sticky but not heart attack snow. It should give the x748 a nice walk in the park tomorrow morning.

If it’s any consolation Steve, I spent all day in the shop making the switch. Had to get the new cab on, figure out the spaghetti wiring that the P.O. had done, finish up the chute mod on the 54” blower done then hook everything up. Finally got the first trail pass at about 6pm tonight.
I’ll be out there in the morning to clean up. Seems pretty wet tho. I hate the heavy wet stuff...

I'm on the south coast of CT (Mystic) this weekend. It snowed all day yesterday, starting before 9 am. It's amazing how little actually accumulated (less than an inch). I did live in Newport (RI) for several years, so I am familiar with how much the ocean water temp affects the coast, but just a few miles inland, they saw more like 6-7 inches!
No report from home yet...

Well looks like we have 4-7" from window? Have not ventured out yet. The John Deere 345 waits outside after I played with it first time in pushing snow. This will be good test.
I can't pick on anyone, my blowers were parked so I had to move my bagger tractor out of the way and others are facing wrong direction perhaps. Hoping for some seat time on all of them today!
The pics are from 3-4PM yesterday.

We had snow pretty much all day here. Took a wile for it to start sticking, but when it did it started to pile up! I would say we got about 5" or so of heavy snow. Blowers all ready to go, and its just waiting for me to be the same...

{Down south}==Virginia , actually--we got about-3-4 inches over Friday afternoon, and then Saturday. Heavy/wet stuff--power went out for awhile yesterday morning, as tree's fell on the lines--so we went out to eat, and my bride about finished her shopping list.
Roads and parking lots are in good shape--bur slippery to walk on.especially designer concrete areas...lawn care companies out spreading salt everywhere...The roads are full of folks in a hurry to go no-where.

There is about 3-4" here near Taunton MA...it snowed most all of yesterday after noon time,but didn't start sticking to the roads until 3-4 pm...it was very slick though,dozens of accidents everywhere...the streets are bare tar now,they salted the crap out of them in my town even before any snow came down..
Not looking forward to plowing my driveway and walks...when its only 3-4",it feels like a waste of time and effort,but if I leave it,it'll freeze solid and might not melt for months..hoping the drive belt on my SS-12 holds up long enough to get the snow moved where my truck cant go...back is killing me as usual,if I have to use a shovel I'll be really hurting..at least the sun is out and it may go above 35 degrees and do some melting--and there was no wind with this storm..

We got about 5 inches at home. The boys helped my wife shovel the driveway. By the time I got home last night, it had compressed down to about 2-3 inches.
Looks nice with the Christmas lights (which is all I really got accomplished Friday night).
