I'm sick of snow drifts
 
Well I got my 1572 running again just in time to clear some snow drifts out of my driveway. Sunday we got about 3" of snow and somehow that turned into about 16+" in my driveway. I've had it with snow drifts and this winter in general.

Good thing you got it running again. I have a friend that calls Syracuse "Tundracuse" he moved to FL. From my days playing at Watkins Glen the locals said they have 2 seasons winter and the 4th of July. I feel your pain.

Makes that blower and cab worth every penny! Our snow that is left is frozen solid.

Been there. I grew up in the country. We could get a 3" snowfall and it would all end up in front of the garage in which my truck was parked and be 15"+ tall. I grew tired of getting up early so I could fire up the tractor and dig myself out before going to work in the morning.

Nope, didn't want what I got. Remember I moved south from CT to get away from this crap. You snow lovers can have my share. I'm almost 64 and I've had all the fun with snow that I can stand. Up side is I spent maybe 5 mins cleaning the neighbors drive and she brought me 2 nice steaks as a thank you. :biggrin2:

Wow.....I don't know how you can get tired of that! With a nice cub, cab and blower with the drift cutters doing just what they are supposed to do.....I just see fun ahead, but maybe that is because I haven't had too much of that snow this year. Well, nonetheless, glad you are up and running with some quality seat time.

yea, i live on a hill and the wind whips...we had no snow fall, but a good 3 hours of gusting. my driveway now had 20+ inches of snow drifts. too lazy to go fire up the plow truck. 4wd in the dodge and bust through them. lol

Got the driveway all cleaned up and I just love how this blower works in the deep snow. I sure hope some of this melts next week. It's supposed to be above freezing everyday. There's some grass under there somewhere that I hope I can mow in a few months.

That's my problem. I live on top of a hill and the wind is always blowing.

The other problem with living up on a hill is the temperature. I can't tell you how often it will be raining downtown and snowing at my house. There was one afternoon the beginning of this winter where it was right about the 32° mark downtown and it was raining. By the time I got home it was 25° and we had about 4" of snow on the road. I'm only about 5 miles out of town, but it's 5 miles up hill.

I'm not looking forward to the sleet and freezing rain this afternoon for sure.

I always thought Whitney Point was considered the Southern tier. LOL Yes the sleet and freezing rain we are suppose to get is gonna suck. Should make for an interesting ride home at midnight.

Southern Tier is part of upstate. Way I have always heard it is NYC is "downstate".
