We set a record for the area for most snowfall in a 12 hour period, 23" There is 20 at my house, my accounts ranged from 18-22 inches. Thank goodness my parking lots got done before sunup (I was out straight from around 2pm Monday to 5pm Tuesday) once the sun came out tues morn the snow turned to, as someone else said, wet cement! Got stuck twice, once the blade went over an old pile which had froze and dropped down the other side, 10 min with a longhandled shovel and Im free, second time, thankfully at the last stop yesterday afternoon, I pushed all the snow from a driveway (walls on both sides) oyut to the apron, about 6 ft high, figured Id blast thru it as usual, unfortunately as I hit the pile instead of going thru the pile of mashed potatoes the plow went OVER it so here I am with the front wheels off the ground and 8000 lbs of truck undercarriage sitting on wet compacted snow. Once again out with the longhandled shovels. 1/2 hour later got enough snow out from underneath that with one rocking and another pushing it came free.
Thats what happens when you dont sleep for 36 hours.
Once the sun has had a chance to loosen the hardpack this am I will be back out toi cleanup the scraps.
Im glad I have a Fisher and not a full blade trip. All the guys with Meyer who didnt plow every 6 inches couldnt keep the load on the blade.
I did not use lo range but once, to show my helper what a PITA it is to plow with it LOL.
I will trade one of these storms for a dozen 3 inch storms any day.
