Vic,
Lake effect snow,, Lol! Some don't realize what that is, but when I lived in Gary, about 1 mile south of Lake Michigan. The worst snow fall I can remember was 32 inches OVER NIGHT, you couldn't even see the neighbors house next door. Now that's a snow fall.

They called for snow here, we got it, I wouldn't even start my tractor to plow an inch of standing powder....ain't worth the gas I'd burn. Personally, it ain't snow less you're looking at 18-24'' standing....that's where it STARTS. Real snow (lake effect I grew up with), 30-40'' at a crack....man, that was snow....I shoveled a LOT of it by hand. Now I use a Ford 861 PowerMaster with a 5spd manual, front bucket and 8ft grader blade behind. When we get 20''+, then it becomes a little like work.
