Most snow at one time in my history here(2003) glad I brought my kubota blower up...still took forever as there was is a solid 4 ft...twice as high as the blower auger. Got the generator going as cabin was a nice 2 deg inside. We were lucky as all our roads were plowed for the first time an hour before our arrival...felt like a lottery win.. Then even better power comes back on...woo hoo.. Power has been off at our place since Christmas eve. Got a nice bill coming up for frozen pumphouse when i get back. Oh well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nice morning rip yesterday with a couple good buds. Happy to get out before the rain. About 2-3’ of setup snow in grey highlands. Deeper in drifts and loaded areas. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Some Sault Ste. Marie Reality Jokes...Enjoy "In Sault Ste. Marie, you snow-blow a path to the garage.....so the burglars can break in" "In Sault Ste. Marie, you have a 50/50 chance of getting your snow-blower stuck going downhill" "In Sault Ste. Marie, my sled is stylish, sexy, comfortable and elegantly maintained....the house on the other hand" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 @Dan-Senior we drove through the Soo today, they have February depth snow, right now! it is crazy what you guys have. Along the same token... we shoveled out the house in Dub when we arrived tonight... We have February snow depth too. usually I dont start level shoveling from the deck, off to yard snow depth but, this day, was the day. front deck is level with snow depth, back deck is above deck. we did get some freezing rain north of Wawa, into Dub tonight. seems to have switched over to snow but, who knows for how long. if you are looking for something to do, we are here until Sunday morning.

Ski How is it between the two? How 'boot Chap? Typically it doesn't seem that The Soo and Wawa area both git big snow at the same time? The Goose Cam doesn't seem to show "Feb depths" I don't think.

I have a pic of the mountain of snow in the soo from yesterday. I posted pics in the northern sections of our place, after the dig out yesterday.

Full tank of fuel through the chainsaw today just clearing the feeder trail. Need a hand tomorrow getting one final tangled mess of trees cleaned up that i shouldnt do alone. Dont need more rain that they're calling for on tuesday. Our lake turned to slush so thats good, at least it'll freeze solid now on wednesday night. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast coming up is looking better, some new snow and a bit of cold, just need a lot more cold and snow. Here is hoping that was our Jan thaw and its onward and upwards from here on out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not all gone - but a significant chunk is. It actually pains me to say this - but we almost needed it - there should at least be a base now - which did not exist before that snowfall and now the lakes might have a chance. Roads are pavement - which is a kick in the nuts. Our local club I'm sure will have their hands full with downed trees and I wish I could be there to help as it will be a tremendous task. I know they'll get it done, because they always get the job done, but it will just make things more difficult. Mother nature! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, and I agree that most likely was our January thaw. I’ll gladly take a thaw now for consistent sledding later on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
