Heavy wet stuff comes off in 2-3ft chunks.

Hard to tell how much but maybe 6-7? If it had been fluffy maybe 8+. Got a circle in drive at mail box for the mailman but the entrance off the state road always gets plowed in by their crews.

I think a lot of ours melted and shrank yesterday.
Heavy and wet, indeed, here in SE, IN. Probably about 4" at my place.
Didn't plow Saturday as the 2" or so was melting rather quickly, but did this morning. First time, I've plowed in three years.
I used the Kubota B1750HST with back blade and F & R chains on the first driveway. Didn't have the front weights on it and the heavy, wet snow was pushing it around a bit. Plowed hard.
Tried the new B3350HSD with FEL and FEL mounted plow on the second driveway. First time I used and had it all set up with F & R chains. They came off after about 15' as it simply slipped on the cleared asphalt even with a 400+ Lb. ballast box and sand. Never used a FEL mounted plow before. Chains are needed with the B1750 and back blade because the tires are in unplowed snow but the rubber cutting edge on the FEL mounted plow cleaned the asphalt so thoroughly that the chains just slipped on the pavement. No problem with unchained tires. Live and learn.
Maybe I'll try the RTV-X1100C next time.

Even with the front wheel assist and loaded rears I had to use the brakes to help steer and I mounted the blade as close to tractor and still clear tires when turning with blade angled.

I was wandering what Ripley co. got, have a farm there West of Napoleon. I live south of Rushville.
I'm in the Ohio River valley. It's usually a couple of degrees warmer in the valley than just up on the hill. The snow turned to rain late morning on Saturday. I was surprised to find snow on Sunday morning as I had not heard the revised forecast.
I expect that there was considerably more snow in Napoleon and even more in Rushville.
