My driveway is about 300' long and laughs at the prospect of a snowthrower being used to clear it. I gave my snowthrower to my father and our neighbor and good friend is a landscaper who does our snow removal.
I have a huge driveway as well...goes from the front through the end off the backyard. Takes me over an hour to blow it....I love it!!

wow, that was kind of a bust. about 4 or 5 inches of the heaviest wettest snow i've ever seen in hartford.

i bet if it was lighter, we'd be around the foot they were calling for last night. hope sundown picked up more.

Yeah, I'm looking out my window and it sucks around here, but Westfield got 8" today, I'm sure Sundown's doing pretty well right now :snow:

About 8 here. Fairly fluffy. Sky is lightening up and it's not snowing that hard, so I'd say that's about it. Gotta do some work, but I'm still going to try to get up to Wachusett around 3 for a couple hours.

Sort of a bust overall, but not bad considering we were talking about spring-like temps last week...

Solid 10" here in Portland and we're still getting hammered. Unfortunately, it does me no good here in town and it sounds like Sunday River, N. Conway areas will get about half of the amount we receive.

I'm about 15 minutes from Wa -- about 8" in my yard. Can't get there tonite due to snow clearing duties here, and the crowd looks like it's growing on the webcam. Planning on hitting it tomorrow after work around 4.

It looked like Wachusett had at very most 8" of new snow, but it was very light.

This is a marketing machine moment for every single ski area. Most ski areas in northern New England only got 2-4" out of this storm. Not enough to open back up any natural snow trails. But with the metro areas getting a solid storm, you can bet skiers and riders are going to come out of the woodwork for the holiday this weekend.
