#NoPoles Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Let's see, things that I've snowblowed: the Boston globe newspaper on two different occasions. It's also not very smart trying to snowblow to the wood pile when there are random chunks and pieces of bark laying around. Yep, ive gone through a few shear pins...i even got the Boston globe so wedged into the auger and chute, that we had to have a guy come and take it apart just so we could get it unclogged. I'm pretty damn awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty damn awesome! Lol. Earlier this season mine ate a rubber doormat. I had to cut it out, it was a hot mess inside the auger. Lol. I'm sure I'll find chunks of mat all over my yard.

I'm pretty damn awesome! So is your delivery person, flinging the paper onto the driveway during S+. Many years ago I nearly vacuumed a partridge into the machine - was about to run it toward the dog trolley but decided to walk instead. The bird had done its dive-in-the-snowbank thing during the overnight, and burst out right as I came by, beating its wings on my leg as it fled.

It’s possible could’ve been more because I was not home but that’s seems to be my best guess. It was quite the longitude gradient. I doubt more than 6 inches. Can’t win them all.

Wasn't expecting much last evening, but when it changed over it started accumulating so quickly even at 35 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty damn awesome! I ate a phone book with my last machine. It got completely wedged between the augur and the body of the snowthrower. I finally removed it with a reciprocating saw with titanium blade. There was smoke pouring out of it from all the friction. The worst thing that has happened to the current one is taking in about a softball size rock and throwing it. No harm on that one luckily. Still kind of angry that someone would deliver phone books just as a storm was beginning. I think it may actually have been the last time they were delievered as it's definitely been awhile.

Ginx snewx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 one thing I did last night as soon as I got home and try to do every time ,in these mash potato storms,was to shovel that first 1.5 of glop. That stuff mostly water removed made this mornings snow blowing very easy, no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Nice fluffy dimes have turned to teenyflakes in Augusta, not for the first time today, though visibility is still 1/2 mile or less. We'll see if there's more of the good stuff to come. At least the Maine dogsled championship races in Farmington this weekend have plenty of snow to run on. It was looking kinda grim for a while.

wxeyeNH Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 31F light snow. Vis 2 miles 12.5" Temps during the storm were in the 28 to 29F range so no tree issues here. Mood flakes all day. Peak of sun midday but now just a gentle light snow. A friend of mine that lives NW of me in Groton called me and said she got 21". She is at 1500 feet. Seems suspect. Most places in my general area according to the Gray Maine reports look like around 9-10". Makes sense I was more being up high. I didn't clear, just stuck the ruler in the pack. Im at #4 on the boards snow list but dryslot hasn't updated so will fall back to #5. Backedgeapproaching made a big jump with 19.5"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the gradient driving into work today....as I passed near 24 on 93 (pretty close to blue hill), you could see there was at least a solid 7-8" and that was after a bit of compaction since it wasn't until midday. By the time I got to the Braintree split, it was at least 2-3 inches less. Obviously that is not a very far distance between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
