Looks like a good dusting.
We haven't had any to speak of this year.
Normally have a couple of feet on the ground by now but only about 4" now.
But March is the snowiest month so we'll see.
 
We go more last night than we normally get in two or three years. Usually about two light snows a year is all these parts see.
 
Never have liked track drive and snow can make for a deadly mix if you have any hill sides to work on. Still remember a neighbor that had a Dozier in the D-8 size that tried to plow the drive way and he found that tracks worked real well as ice skates and he slid dozier and all down a hill. Blade did nothing to slow him down and he had zero control. He had to change his pants after that
 
jm.,

I live in southern Middle Tennessee near Spring Hill / Columbia. It looks like we got about the same amount of snow as you did.

It's still cold at 3:30 PM - about 28 degrees. Not much melting going on and we're expecting a low tonight in the teens.

Yuk.

Brought my wife down to the Spring Hill Library last Sunday morning a week ago. She made a trip down south with some of your folks from Spring Hill. Back down there to pick her up past Saturday. Traffic on 31 was awful , bumper to bumper from 840 to Spring Hill and thru, came back out Saturn PKY .
 
Tom, I didnt realize you were so close to my folks. They live half way between Columbia and Centerville. Drop by for some antique farming sometime.
 
Yes sir, that's just across the mighty Duck River and Aiken Ridge from where I grew up. I see you live in Jackson now. I now reside north of Jackson about an hour.
 
Weakley County. I see you are listed as Stewart? The hills in your photos sort of look like LBL territory.
 
Born right on the weakly county line, farmed weakly,Henry and Stewart County. have a house in Paris but pretty much stay on the farm here in Stewart county. Six miles out of Dover on the Cumberland river.

My wife is trying to talk me into selling out and moving to Tennessee. She's tired of the snow and cold here where it's waist deep or more in the fields and worse in the woods. If that's withat you guys consider a big snow, she might get me to do it!

That D2 would have zero problem moving that little bit of snow.
 
Bret here is what I usually have to move what little snow we get. Normal is about 1 or two may be three times over the winter or total of 6 to 8 inches year round. This was THE BIG one as far as we are concerned. Fifty four degrees today and it is really leaving here.

Looks good to me at this point. We haven't seen an honest +32F since early December. Been a looooong winter! I'm not crazy about the idea of moving though. We've been here 20 years and I still have stuff I haven't unpacked! Plus, I'd have to deal with a state full of people that think all of NY is NYC. Of course that's any state outside Vt or Pa! Sure would be nice to have shorter winters, lower taxes and no crazy gun laws though.
