BrianW Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Rough drive home from VT with whiteout conditions from the wind on 103. 91 was chunks of ice flying off cars and truck. Heaviest icing on trees looked to be around Northampton and Meriden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokeupthisam Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It's been a 'wintry' day with these winds, to say the least. Relentless... even got photobombed by a renegade plastic bag tumbleweed from somewhere upwind... <with sound> 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I love the power. Still miss the steering of my old Crapsman. But holy cow does it throw the snow. Way further than the old one. get extra batteries. That was the issue yesterday. The density of the snow drained em. I had to swap them out a couple of times before I could finish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new one has the stick shift for the auger, hard to get used to that. Of course I haven't has that much practice last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shoots the snow 50’. I did have it on turbo mode so that probably drained it more quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

512high Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Not a snow picture however, this old truck ran for about 18 hours straight, got into the shop this morning. It was white like a salt lick for a deer! All equipment washed down. I know what’s gonna happen.

Im 5 miles S. slightly higher elev. It just kept coming and this storm put us over the top. I have been in this area since 87 minus a short stint for 3 years in methuen when it also snowed hard(2000-2003). 2006-2007 we had Valentines day and then its snowed till april. And then the next winter even beat that. This winter is beating both. Its literally silly, my depth is 37 avergaged. I have a board and i wipe it. I got 16 inches. But man its been nickel and dime the whole way but nonstop. I only have 2 days where we went above freezing since around xmas.

Being removed from the spine has reduced the amounts we've gotten compared to you guys. Plenty of snow though and really the only fly in the ointment was that stretch just after Christmas that reduced my back yard to a few scraggly patches. Other than that I've had snowcover since just before Thanksgiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No end to the fun with a c1790 farmhouse! The wind raked us all day, easily 50+ at times. Another angle shows the speed pretty well: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 These are the worst winter conditions since I think the winter of 2013. The gusting is unbelievable chunks of snow from the roof flying around. Our house is on the top of a small hill surrounded by 30 acres of hayfield. The wind is insane. Snow blow the driveway with the tractor and we have not even 20 minutes before we can’t get our jeep down the driveway. The intensity of the wind and how long it’s been blowing is Not fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
