See what you caused by talking about taking it off. Just image what it would look like if you actually had taken the snow blower off, it would probably still be melting in June!!!:eek::eek::D

Well I took the snowblower off on March 5th. I really thought we were done and when I heard about the storm I figured I would just do it with my ATV and plow I mean it could not be that bad... WRONG!

I raced to get the snowblower on Monday afternoon after my wife convinced me to put it on. I am glad she did! The snow was so heavy that the ATV could not even push the small section I could not get to with the snowblower. It is the first time I heard the engine labor and start to puff out some faint black smoke due to the weight of the snow. Had to slow down to a crawl when I got to the plowed snow by the road.

Lesson learned, wait until April before removing snow equipment...

The blower WILL come off this weekend, so hold on to your horses!!:eek::eek:

Little snow in extended forecast, and I'd like to get the BxPanded Under Armor on for the first time.

Near 50 and rain Saturday, can do this stuff inside!:cool:

I dunno here, NIW, seems like last year you started a thread called "Let it Snow!" The weather gods may have been holding a grudge just waiting to respond to the challenge :eek::eek: you guys got more than your share this year!

I bet that 3' of snow from last week is compressed and now easier to move with the fel anyway. The snowblower chute would probably plug if you tried to move any of the remaining snow.

He's probably pining for losing something to mark on a daily basis.
That's Oliver, our boxer. At 90 lbs, he's a big boy for a boxer.

He doesn't "mark" the tractor or truck, but lots of other stuff.....

TRIED to "mark" local guy's 5 gallon maple sap pail on the ground while on a walk with Mom!!!:eek::eek::eek:

She stopped him in time.......:p:p

Good thing - I know I wouldn't want that batch of syrup.......;):p;)

RCW, you have really p***ed off the snow gods. We are supposed to get a foot or more of snow Friday into Saturday. Put your snowblower back on to Appease the Gods.
