As of this morning it's 8-10 inches estimated. It started to fall at 10 am today in Mansfield.

We woke up to about 3" of wet show Friday morning, sun came out about noon so it was gone by Saturday afternoon, this morning light snow, ice, then rain for the entire day....

Sat was quite cold for here, low 30's but wind chill into teens, finished water pump replacement on driver, warmed up enough in the afternoon to start her up and move just outside the garage to run about 15 min. All good!

Went out at 4:30 this morning and plowed another 6 or 7". Also did 2 of the neighbors driveways. Not sure what the rest of the day is supposed to bring. For the guys that ride snowmobiles, this has been one of the better years.

And another 5" when I got home tonight. 19 degrees while plowing so it's a little on the cool side.

Guy,
Let's see this RV project. Show me yours and I'll show you mine, as they say. :) Mine is too large for the garage or shop, although I have a Planar diesel heater installed, the snow makes it tough to walk back and forth from the shop to the truck.

Not much snow to speak of here in beautiful sunny Clarksville this season. Only had to plow once and that was only 3 inches of fine white powder snow. But I'd rather mow grass 50 times than plow snow once. :x

Unfortunately, a cold blast is on it's way and starting Saturday night, it is supposed to be near or below zero F every night for at least 7 days :(

Here is the link to the RV build. Bought the RV in October of 2019. 1975 GMC with a Midas 190. 58k, runs and sounds great. Had more water damage than originally thought. However, I enjoy working on it. It's now a challenge to save it. My dad had a '72 full size Chevy van when I was a kid and the van portion (or what's left) is identical so that was one of the reasons I bought it. Covid made for a change of plans last March so I didn't do much to it over the Summer. Once interior is fixed I'll replace all rubber lines, hoses, etc. Already bought the mechanical items (fuel pump and water pump as well) and have new tires as the old bias ply's are about to fall apart.

I bought a toyota sea breeze to use instead of the motel bit, while on the road(working), it cost more to park it at a campground than it did to stay at a motel.Plus every morning had to unhook everything to drive to work.I wish I'd kept it.

Hello Guy,
I checked out the whole thread on the RV build. Did not know how these things were constructed...So in a way I'm glad that I'm building a Sprinter van into a RV.
