I have a Toro 1028 that hasn't seen any action this year but we are predicted to get 8-12 inches on Monday and some more the next day!

Yup, another tv station just said the same thing 12-18, loacally around 20" it doesnt get much worse then this around here. So tomorrow this time I will know if I bought the rite machine.......lol.

The crazy part is, for a split second I almost returned it and bought the 421! Guess I made the rite decision being it has no place in 12"+. JMHO

Monday morning it's going to be at least 10+ inches on the ground and more coming down so I'll have to do the driveway twice. My neighbors are all using the same plow guy so they'll be stuck just like I used to be. They are too far away to help without a trailer.

heh, I'll take 5 inch of snow, 10 inch would be nice as long as the road crew clear the main streets.   My car only 5 inch ground clearance to get to work.  :)

It sure as hell beats the 1 lousy inch we got earlier and nothing before that. New Hampshire usually gets a ton of snow but it seems Europe wanted more snow than us so they are playing in the white stuff while we get hardly anything. Normally we'd get at least 12" per storm but not for a few years now. I'll be amazed if we even get a total of 12" this storm. We've been having a major drought for 2 years now and the water resevoirs have been way down. We need snow and rain. 10" is kids stuff, we are adults in NH so give us more!
