    I like to use Intellicast; they're a bit more accurate than the NOAA websit.

    I use Intellicast also, My brother in law the pilot got me on it and I figured if it's good enough for pilots it's good enough for me.

    Bob, just to goad you a little more! It was 64 here today, sun shining, and snow is almost gone from the 8' high snow piles we had. And we're more north than you! I'll need to bring out the mower in a couple of weeks!

    4" so far. Light to moderate snowfall as of now.

    Bob, I think my prediction that your going to win, might be slightly off.

    10:30 am report: Eleven inches of snow down, and we're starting to get a pretty strong wind from the South...

    But that new snowblower sure knows how to move this stuff! There's a bit of a learning curve with it due to all of the new features, but the Missus is happy!

    The first time that she ever ran one of these machines: the importance of that cab was made entirely clear to her...the HARD way!!

    A bit West of us: we've had reports of the snow already being over 26" deep...

    What kind of ATV and plow combination are you using?
    I had a Grizzly 660, with a five-foot plow on it: it was a LOT of work, and you really had to keep up with the weather, or you'd be in trouble!

    It's better for them to run at full RPM. Less likely to plug and easier on the engine.

    I have 2 inches of the White Fungus( Snow) on the porch, now. It is still snowing expecting about 6 to 10 inches, with blowing snow. Getting heavy snow tonight, and other 6 to 10 inches of the white fungus tomorrow.

    I am fine, Hurry UP Spring! I did not work today/or tomorrow, because of my CTO time. Be safe out there! Deanna

    I know... but it had ZERO hours on it, and I was trying to ease it into service.
    Talk about a "trial by fire"!
