Heard this morning that as of January 23rd, the official snowfall in
Boston and surrounding areas had only been 5.5 inches.

Since then over 58 inches have fallen. Getting stupid. This amount of
snow is great for unpopulated ski locations but towns and cities
have run out of places to put the crap.

Going to have another cup of coffee and then go hit the driveway again
for about the 10th time in the past 2-3 weeks. Same problem. No place
to push it. I am really regretting that I got rid of the big
snowblower
attachment I had for the tractor at one time but it was a rip roaring
pain in the ass to take off the front end loader in order to put the
snow blower on.

I HAVE PLOW TRUCKS AVAILABLE ALONG WITH THE BACK HOE AND MEN TO SHOVEL,

BACK HOE AND OPEN YOUR DRIVEWAY RIGHT UP FOR REALLY CHEAP, DON'T BE SHY.

I know, the guy always post all caps but he's a good guy. Are you near
enough to Dighton Mass, if so I can shoot you his number...

I know he sounds corney but he's the real deal. Out last week doing some
folks for free, just because they needed it.



Appreciate it but so far we are holding our own. I plowed a couple of
times today but finally gave up because there's no longer anywhere for
the snow to go. I drove around on the driveway packing down what snow
remained and at least we can get out and down to the road. I am always
concerned about emergency vehicles being able to get up from the road.

Tomorrow I'll spend most of the day moving some piles back about
6 feet with the tractor to make room for more snow.

Incredible amount of snow in a short period of time. Originally the
weather people thought the "front" would set up more north and the
North Shore would get the brunt of the snowfall, but instead the front
set up 50 miles to the south which put the South Shore from about
Plymouth northward in the heavy bands of snow. When it's all over
early Tuesday morning we will have right around 24 inches of new snow
on top of the 28 inches we received three days ago.



Yeah, me and Jess had a **** of a time getting to work today cause they
really don't plow our roads in the neighborhood till later. Got sent
home today early though cause of the storm.... I have Wrangler AT's so I
usually get around pretty good if I can get off my street



The town has done a pretty good job keeping up with the roads. My
problem is keeping our driveway clear so we can even get to the road.
The house sits about 600 feet from the road and the driveway circles
around the barn with a pretty steep grade up to the house. Total length
to plow is just over 1,000 ft. Plus, I do my two closest neighbors
driveways. Keeps me busy.

Here's what one side of the driveway looked like this morning. I am
in the truck plowing. It's worse now. About another 10 inches has
fallen since then.
