I recall a 32 inch snowfall on Halloween when we lived in Minnesota. I rolled out early, fired up the big 8 horse snow blower and cleared my drive in about half an hour.

Of course I still couldn’t get farther than the mailbox; there was still three feet of snow in our street.

My sis-in-law from north of Minneapolis told me about that storm. I have a pretty nice 2-stage Toro, but I think it is going to take a while to clear my very long driveway.

I’m just assuming the plow guy is not going to be able to clear the driveway.

When I lived in Northern Michigan I spent a few winter nights in the shop I worked at due to the roads being impassable. The factory kept a couple dozen cots for such events. A few of my coworkers had snowmobiles that they kept parked under tarps behind the shop so they could go home during storms.

Having people stay at the shop was ideal because most would choose to keep working. It helped make up for lost man hours of those who couldn’t make it in for 1st shift.
