I just measured 16'' here. And it's still snowing!!!!!!!
How's everybody else doing?

I was busy getting my John Deere fitted with a 42" snow
thrower. I have a
lot to clear (no pun intended). Anyway, the pros at John
Deere prepped the
tractor for the thrower when I bought it, but I'm guessing
they never read
the instructions because they prepped it for an electric
PTO; mine is
mechanical, and they knew that. Well, the thrower still
fit, but I didn't
like how things looked, belts too tight, etc., so I dug
out the original
manual and there it was. I remounted all the brackets and
shoulder bolts and
so on, and she fired right. I hit the 15" of wet spring
snow and she plugged
up like a fat man on a cheese diet.
Scout, waiting for a foot of powder snow.

I had a snow blower on a garden tractor long ago. The old
belt drive type. Man did it throw the stones!
