There are a couple of forecasts that have 50" of snow hitting all of eastern Mass, southern NH, and most of the Maine coast..
They say 40" for me mid state on the Maine line.
Another says 12-18 + for the same area...
Usually for amounts over 12-18 inches they dont like to say what amounts we could see because they dont want people getting into a tizzy and freaking out. That and they want to play it safe so that they arent wrong...again
This one is going to be a big dog! Do your best to get a really really good night of sleep tonight and try to sleep in. We are going to need every bit of rest we can get. I can't imagine anyone getting any sleep Friday night. If you do, you'll be hard pressed to push that much snow when you wake up Sat.
Good luck everyone and be safe!

Had a long meeting this morning with the guy I sub for and all of his guys. He is kicking us off the clock around 11pm friday night to sleep for a couple hours to be back out for 3 or 4am. Not sure how thats going to work out but we will see. Good luck everyone be safe out there.
Had to be yanked out of a ditch. Other than that no issues! Going to replace a hose that's rubbing. The rubber wore down to the steel lining. No leaks though.

Lost my passenger side wiper arm right in the middle of the heavy stuff Friday night. That made 3/4 of the storm exciting to say the least.
I've been plowing up here for 10 years and that is definitely the worst storm I have seen.
I put in 26 hours straight. You know it's a big storm when you pack 4 meals in the cooler and eat them all!
It was wild!
Oh yeah, if you're into knowing these types of things, this storm was a good sample size for how much fuel you burn/hour. For my truck in my signature it was exactly 1.5 gallons/hour.

I did the math out to. I was burning about 2 gallons an hour. The stuff was heavy!
One plow went down Saturday late morning with 3 driveways left. Lost the power connection in the Truck side pin on the harness. Only issue I had. I spent over 30 hours in the truck between Friday 9pm and Sunday morning. And then random calls Sunday and Monday. Worst storm I've plowed in my 8 years. To you guys calculating fuel, too much time on your hands. All I know is my dump truck used half tank of 36 gallon tank in 9 hours my fathers truck used tank of 29 gallons in 9 hours and my truck I used little over 2 tanks, 29 gallon tank in 30 hours. You guys can do the math for me if you want lol. Can't wait til the thousands of dollars starts to roll in!

Haha im an hourly guy so sitting in the truck and figuring it out didnt matter while i was on one of my many "breaks". But yes I cannot wait for the check to come in now.
I gotta rewire my sander lights. Took the sander out the other day and forgot to unplug the trailer plug they're wired to. Needless to say ripped the wires out. Easy fix though, then I'm ready.
yea gunna change my oil and grease everything friday. truck needs tie rods but gunna wait until im home on spring break for those when i can put it up on the lift. gotta paint the side of my bed to, may wait until after all the snow for that though. hopefully we can make some more money!
