Going to be 45*+ and sunny tomorrow so most should be gone before dark. They're now predicting 70s by the end of next week.

I measured right around 19-21" on the patio here at my place. Old Stanley the F4 is doing his COE impersonation!

So, I put up a picture of the tractor moving the shooting bench back when it was much warmer. Ignore the date.
Yes, very similar. Is yours a diesel? If you can't get anyone to take a picture of you try mounting a game camera near where you are plowing.

It is amazing how much you use the bucket. I have a workbench of the same heavy construction as your shooting bench. When I rebuilt my old garage last summer (it was rotting into the ground) I had to move everything out. The bucket came in very handy. Afterward I invested in a set of short forks from Artilleran that replace the bucket. . . . Very easy to change. Moved everything into the new garage with that.

Looks like a lot of fun as long as you don't have any stumps around

The last time we had snow here that actually stuck was in 1973, the winter that I spent in Wilmette (Chicago).

You have that snow so packed down your front yard is never going to thaw. Our roads are the same way.

I feel like such a sissy! I haven't seen snow like that since I moved out of Illinois back in 1990.

I just saw the Wall Street Journal at the store; headline was: "And the winter weather winner is... Atlanta", with a picture of a jogger in modest clothes in Sochi at the games, next to a picture of snowbound Atlanta.

At 11:30 pm in Central PA it is still snowing, but it has slowed down. The last time I measured we had 7".

It snowed here about another three inches, more on the forcast for tomorrow night, and maybe more for saturday night.

According to the local weather guy, it was warmer in Sochi yesterday than it was in Atlanta. However, I bet they have snow plows.

I say a news clip yesterday, did't really catch the city but it showed a scene and in the background there was a garbage truck with a plow on it plowing the street. I drove a truck nation wide for 41 years and I have never seen anything like that. Winston-Salem,NC around 1985 I came up behind a pickup pulling a 3 wheel a-frame steel wheel kinda plow on I-40, the best part of it was the guy riding the plow cranking a big wheel to adjust the plow

I think it was Atlanta that started putting plows on their garbage trucks.

Snow plows on a garbage truck makes a lot of sense. You already have a heavy base with hydraulics, put it to use. Somewhere, someone in government was using logic.

OR (if it was a small town) it was a county road truck that was purchased by the city and converted to a garbage truck. And they had enough sense to leave the blade on the front.
