One pass with the snowblower turned it into a sloppy cement consistency...
The stuff just rolled out the chute, too heavy to gain any air time...
Little Blue to the rescue.....
It has turned back to snow now...supposed to last until evening.
Another storm coming by Wednesday evening...

Haven't had to use the snow blower yet this season. That may change this week depending on how much snow we get tonight and then again on Wednesday night. We'll see.  Huh?

Bunch of heavy slush here.  I used the push shovel to clear two tire tracks and call it a day.  One shovel full has to have 2 gallons of water in it

Supposed to be low to mid 40's tomorrow so banking on it all meting away

About 9" here. Wet, heavy snow/ice/rain mix.
Slippery even after plowing it's ice.

Yeah, you win! Your town was in the jackpot area for Massachusetts. Hopefully you didn't lose power like your neighbors in Ashby.

Only 4 inches of heavy wet snow at my house. Thankfully it cleaned up easily with the snow blower.

More coming Wednesday night, but that will be a snow to rain situation in my area. You may stay all snow in your area. Have fun!  Wink

Took the lower 3' of snow off roof with a roof rake earlier this morning..
We have an ice dam probably 2" thick that travels up the roof maybe a foot.
With the snow off it, hopefully the sun will melt it before it creeps up under the shingles...
We got 3 more inches of fluff snow over night....

Storm coming Wed night and into Thurs looks like 3 to 6 of heavy wet all over again...

Boy, these posts sure remind me how much I miss New England in the Winter........NOT!  Grin
 18 holes of golf yesterday, more planned for Friday. I will say it has been an unusually cold winter in coastal SC. We've had more days in the 40's and nights in the 20's than I can remeber since 2003. Somehow, I'm surviving.  2funny

Kathy's son and daughter-in-law live in Charleston and never miss the opportunity to call and ask about the weather. Usually during or just after a storm or cold snap.

You know I would never do that. Wink Charleston is one of the most historical and prettiest cities in the South. If you haven't visited there, put it on your bucket list. I might even drive down to meet you two for lunch.......as long as you're paying. 2funny   Miss all of my New England riding family. God Bless cooldude
