Had that deep snowy crap for the last couple of years here, you can have it,I am just about ready to head south, 38* would be a heat wave to me right now.

Got hit very hard in northern NJ. Just got in from shoveling.  . Can't really tell how much snow we got as it is so windy that the snow is blowing all over the place. At least 2'-2.5', and there are areas that are waist deep. Shittty weather, crippling taxes,etc. etc. Keep asking myself why the hell don't I get out of here? MB

Not trying to be negative but watching the national news makes me sick. We had a little over 20" two weeks ago and no one said a word, our governor didn't declare a state of emergency. Everyone just went on with their lives plowing and snow blowing. traffic was not at a stand still (slowed down of course) Just curious why they make such a big deal out of it when it's out east?? I had 5 foot drifts between the house and pole shed, didn't bother me happens every big snowfall... Just plow it out of the way and move on with life 
big difference between people who are use to getting snow and have the equipment to deal with it vs people who don't.

 and a big diff between the one's who drive on snow and those who never have before. 
Yeah I guess you're right, but didn't they get hit with some snow last year? You'd think they'd be a little more prepared the 2nd time....

I agree with the prepared for it and the not prepared for it comments. You guys ought to come to Syracuse, and try that. 83" of snow two weeks ago in a week period. We never shut downt he airport, only cancelled school one day. Its what we do. Snowiest December on record. Regardless of whether or not you have the equipment, you still have to MOVE IT SOMEHWERE!...I'll take the snow anyday over Pelosi...! We just go about like its another day. Where my shop is located it is in Oswego County, which is directly hit with lake effect all the time. I can leave my house and only have a few inches, get to my shop and have over two feet. Just depends on the wind.I've seen Oswego County with over 300" in a season. That is some snow. Hell, they had 72" OVERNITE once. Was an unbelievable site. Anyone here remember the Blizzard of 66 ? Now THAT was a storm. Storms, albeit troublesome for some, are very good for the economy however.

had to blanket the horses sat night, Its been a wile for snow this early in the season,I think its kinda nice 
I had this plow on my last truck ('89 Toyota) and the mount was much beefier. It would take a lot of abuse with no failures at all. I had to get the torches out and bend these back. I'll have to weld a gusset or something...
Not a problem if your prepared for it
