Central Maryland
6 inches last Saturday
4 inches on Wednesday
Something on the order of 30+ inches this weekend
Yeah,
take it easy, sit it out. One thing I learned in life, is don't start shoveling until the snow is done falling. Another thing I learned is all the game is gonna be bedded down for a while, might as well sit in camp.
good luck, guys!

Hey Frank! - As you know I live In Md. dead south of Gettysburg, Pa. I got on my 55HP John Deere (No Cab:bitch:) with a 6 ft. wide snowblower mounted on the back. After running about 100 FT of my driveway I measured at six different locations for an average depth of 32"'s. I then did the 1/2 mile Farm lane to Mom's house; to a width of about 10 -12 feet. ( 1 mile total ).Quote:

Please send your snow up here to Maine, we need it!!
Mike, my son is a trucker. He had an oversized load (crusher headed to South America) delivering to the port in Baltimore on Fri. I told him to get there before the shoremen decided to go home, or he would be stuck there. He unloaded Fri. P.M. and got out of Dodge heading south to Tenn. He had to pull over, he said the snow was so heavy he couldn't see. He said they had signs up on the highway that the truck stops were full. He ended up pulling off on an exit and waiting it out. In the morning he saw a plow and salt truck down on the highway and pulled out and followed him. Boy you have alot of snow removal to do. I Wish I could lend you my Cat 933 wheel loader with it's 12' snow blade and heated cab. Take care, you're going to need the "Old Crow" when it's all over.....Frank:cheers:
:super:Frank - Glad to hear your Son played it smart! This storm for Md. was a real SOB!!! - I'm completely open after about 6 hours of "Seat Time" on my JD.Quote:

Mike and FranK:
Glad everything is cool with you guys in the country! We are doing OK in yuppie land as the youngest has an enviromonster truck (F150 Ford with 4wd and 5.4 L Triton engine) that is not the object of scorn in this weather. Stay safe guys as we are going to get hit again.
