I didn't need to even lock the hubs on my K5, or even use the snowblower, but got it out anyway because it didn't need to be used at all last year.

Yup, we got a lot of snow here in New England. There was a time not so long ago when we'd chalk this up to "winter". Now it's catastrophic. It's ridiculous how they hype this stuff up.

We got about 20" here in my area. It was a b!tch to move. Spent about five hours getting everything cleared. We live on something the size of a postage stamp but I'm very particular about the snow shoveling.

Sounds like 25-27 inches but the drifts are 4-5' in some areas. Connecticut got the worst out of anyone. Over 3' ... at the end if both our driveways the plows created 4' drifts. That was fun lol

Y'all need to keep that crap up there where it belongs! We were hit with 11" around Christmas and it sucked. I had to shovel the stuff for the first time ever and it was horrible. I never want to do that again.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with all that snow. Today in GA it was sunny and mid 60s, I went fishing in shorts and a t shirt So much for winter down here.

Bet everyone's glad to get that storm system out of the way. Couldn't deal with that much snow...we're looking at 3 day's of rain starting tomorrow. Glad our local Mardi Gras parade today didn't get rained on...cloudy but around 70 degrees.

Same here, getting tired of working around that thing in the garage year after year. Thought maybe I'd get to burn a little paint off the muffler this year. Not really. However, It snowed pretty good once, 5 or so years back. Made it worth the investment, I guess -

What are you using to move it? I'd let you use mine, if you were closer. It'll throw a newspaper 30' or so. Well, unless I scarf a Sunday paper, -then I'd need a couple crow bars and a few shear pins.
