Plowed the church lot this AM - well started then - Takes from 1 hour with a lite snow to 2 hours with a moderate snow .
Today 4 hours of moving 11 inches of snow with heavy wet base .
Could make one pass and roll snow over , then had to plow it with blade straight as could not roll it a second time .
Had to cut lot into small pieces and plow those off one direction then come back and clean up spilled snow off blade .
Normally plow in one direction and stack at end of lot , today 2 sides of lot have 4 to 6 ft high banked snow I pushed up .

We got about 9" of snow and ground wasn't frozen but wet and soft. Made a trail with Bobcat from barn to house and then to road and moved the bank of snow the township truck made at end of driveway. Then moved more snow to park the car out near the road.

The joys of spring type weather.

Blowing and Snow/Rain mix for a few hours then done, 30 minutes away and nothing where ours accumulated about an inch but was plastered on walls and machines facing the wind. That howled at around 30mph until well after midnite and has currently subsided to a breeze. Got little nothing accomplished yesterday, made tuna salad for dinner as is Ash Wednesday start of Lent, will be a Friday Fish Head a few weeks.
