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...

Had 8+ when I cleared the driveway at 6:00 and it was pouring snow when I left at 7. Quite the gradient on the south shore. 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...

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! I've got plenty of wood chunks and bark stuck in mine, the funniest was when my brother had a 1" pipe wrapped around his auger, he bought a pair of those giant pliers to cut it out.

That stuff mostly water removed made this mornings snow blowing very easy, no problems at all. You're a wise man Ginxy, I should have done that yesterday, instead I had to shovel 12 inches of glop, snow blower was useless today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say ask the wife, I know my wife is not going out to measure if i'm not around, She already thinks i'm a sicko, You probably will have a better chance of training the boy when he is older.

tavwtby Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I gotta say, this was some of the most compactful snow I ever had to clean up... blower blade just went over top, had to bust out the spade to chop the 6" of compact snow in the driveway... my kids loved it though... wound up official to Albany was 11... but there were spots in the yard that were up to 20"...

I lost an inch while it was still snowing. I measured 10" flat at a around 8 or so and then we got another .5" (cleared a surface off), i remeasured where i measured 10" before, and it was down to 9.5" and that was only a couple hours later.
