Greetings,
They are forecasting the worst storm in a decade here in Western NY tomorrow through Saturday night. They are calling it a "Snow Hurricane" with 2 feet of snow and winds over 60mph. I have the B210 w/blower full of fuel and the generator ready to go. I will post some pics when I can. My wife calls it a man thing that I am so excited about it!

| We had a good amount here in mid-Michigan. We got another inch today on top of the almost foot of wet heavy stuff we just got Monday. I had to use my dad's 4 wheel drive John Deere 5105 to clear the drive Monday, but today I am going home and clearing the stuff we got with my 2110 and grader blade. Just got new AG tires for it and had them loaded so I'm anxious to see how it does. |

| Wow! I was able to plow and negotiate pushing 4-5 inches of wet, heavy snow. I was very impressed. I have put new AG tires on it, had them loaded (about 144lbs a piece) and had new front AG tires on it and even had them loaded to help stear in the heavy stuff (about 24lbs a piece). Plus, I had my carry all box with about 60lbs in it on the back for another 130lbs altogether. Plus my svelte frame of about 220. But it did great, far better than I thought it would. |

Yeah, my last snow storm was quite heavy and I was plowing 5" at least. The snow blower even worked on that, but barely. Rain, rain, rain in my area of Connecticut.

| We have 3-5" of packed heavy snow. Looks like 3" but definitely is 5" of a normal snow. Just shoveled the walkways so far. Will go out later to play. Started in the middle of the night and everything in town was cancelled at 5:05am this morning. |

| We just got dumped on here in Mid-Michigan. I commute 20 miles to work and there were 13 cars in the ditch on my way home. First time ever someone right behind me did a 90 degree turn and slid into the median sideways. Quite a spectacular snow shower. A bit too much for the 2110 I believe, I let my dad clear it with his JD 5105. Might try to have some fun tomorrow though. |

We got about a foot overnight and 4 or 5 more inches today. (pics were taken early this morning. Thee banks are even bigger now) Its supposed to snow on and off for the next several days. The B210 did pretty good cutting through waist high drifts of wet heavy snow.
 Driveway done.  The tractor shed.  The wind blew so hard against the nback of the house that it completely covered the windows on the 2nd floor. I have to dig out the grill too.  Poor puppy probably wished she was back home in Valdosta, GA. Funny to see the AC unit buried when it'll be humming away in a few months. |

| That looks like what we got here on Wednesday. My sister-in-law was flying to Ireland through JFK and got re-routed through Atlanta thanks to the stuff you see in those pics! |

Yuck! I have seen enough snow for this winter for my tastes. Didn't blade ONCE last winter, have had to several times so far and spring isn't here yet. BTW, fine looking pup you got there! |

| Thanks. She is Toy Fox Terrier and Chihuaha mix and about a year old. We officially hit the 20" mark this morning when I woke up to several more inches on the ground. I love this stuff but would much rather be mowing! |
