Actually, the wettest stuff was at ground level, of course. So as long as I
kept it a few inches off the ground it threw nicely. After topping it, I
dropped to surface level and it just wouldn't do it, got all clogged up.
Ruined my whole testosterone rush.

You have 2 choices here Scout.... approach it a little at a time or
undertake "Bobsprit's Revelation" - which states that deep snow provides
better traction than plowed snow.

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.
