oh yeah Ron i feel your pain, i have gotten about 5 hrs of sleep since thursday night with all that white crap falling here. I work for my hometown in MA this snow was horrible after it turned to rain down here both hydrualic pistons broke on the plow on the town truck. we would have been much better off with a front mount blower like yours.
Great pics BTW

Damn you ron! If i was there i couldn't be happier! We were just on the edge of it. They were calling for 1-2" of snow then changing over to rain in the night, but it was ALL rain. I was very disappointed. And if we had 25", whoo that would mean a few new trucks and some equipment! $$$$

Yeah, i know what you mean. Before i got my license, i was the "foreman" of the snowblower crew, We have three 4' blowers and one 5' blower... Out on those things, especially when it was snowing was the "best". Then you'd have the chute one direction, the wind would cover you with it and then you'd be a snowman. It gets down inside your hood and then now youre jacket is soaked, you get cold, etc. Especially your feet. I get mild frostbite every time i go out there and do that.

I can relate! I plow my road with an open kabota, I use the bucket though. I love it, everyone thinks I'm crazy but it's fun.

When I go out and plow with the ATV or snowblow, I make sure every square inch of my body is covered with something. I have full face mask for snowmobiling that only leaves my eyes and bridge of my nose uncovered. I also use a set of old down hill ski googles to cover that area. It works great no snow in the eyes or on the face. Although when all suited up I look like an overweight ninja with ski googles on. Not that I'm over weight I just wear a bunch of layers.
