    Wow!! Thats a lot of snow!

    We got maybe 8 to 10" so far. Hasn't been that windy so not much drifting. For a change we seem to be the quit corner.

    Hard to tell what we have here. Cars are bare, some ground is bare, and some spots are 3-4 feet.........

    I just made the mistake of watching the noon news. The 14"-20" we were supposed to get is now 20"-30". We already have a foot on the ground with a blizzard warning until 4:00 AM tomorrow. I think I'm going to go and sleep the rest of the day.

    Yeah, I took a vacation day tomorrow but still thinking of going out and running the snow blower over the driveway soon. Makes me cold just thinking about it though.

    But, my area has changed from 18"-25" to 10"-18". I will take whatever I can right now.

    I will be heading out as well. It will probably be round one of two for the snow blower. I will also be cranking up my Husqvarna Backpack leaf blower to clear my porches.

    Im not following you lol! I was almost done, when the auger quit working. The belt is not broken but it sure looks worn. I guess it stretched out, and that is why it came off.

    I broke one this morning but didn't realize it. The blower was throwing great with 1 auger.
    The shear pin holds the auger to the shaft and is designed to break given enough torque so you don't destroy gear box.
    I either ran through ice or rock.
