I’m on the south shore. We got 30 inches. Love the variety in the lunch box and you guys working together to make repairs. Great video. Thanks for what you do. I know it’s not easy.
Mike, the Mack, all of your fellow plow and clean-up folks and special equipment are incredibly durable. 21 hours, shovel and then do it again so we can be safe. THANK YOU for your skills and dedication. You are all unsung heroes.
30 year plus driver here no respect after I go gown the road and they dump their driveway on my fresh plowed toad hey I wn t he o after I plow the roads so fire police ect CA get we the hveto go.
Lived in the Stearns Hill apartments back in the 90’s. Out in Grafton now. We got about 18 inches. You all did a great job clearing the roads. We nurses thank you!!
Fun to watch so thanks! First started plowing 50+ driveways in Lexington during the blizzard of '78 (Don Kent predicted 3-4" at 9:30AM); still miss it as I live in Atlanta.
Great Job Guys Nicely Done 👍🏽❄️On The East Coast Today Thursday We Are Gething Some Rain And For Friday Some Slick Road The Temp Will Be Dropping Again. Good Luck To You Have A Great Weekend
I remember those days all too well! We had some big snow when I was growing up in NJ. Ran a 922 Cat and HOUGH pay loader. Plowed with tandem dump trucks as well. Slept many a night in all of them. Thanks for taking me back. Ohh by the way not only did I lean out of the window too see the curb, I was trying to stay awake! Lol
Great video Boston Trucker or aka Mr. Snow plow, LOL. I feel for you my friend, been doing the same thing last week, feels like there is no end in site, but we keep going. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
Who doesn't love a Trojan 😂 especially with a screamer 😂 love watching old iron work glad to hear that you didn't get as much as they was thinking great video as always mike keep up the good work stay safe and warm out there mike
first time i see one of your videos. GREAT VIDEO..:) great filming with all the filming view points. continue doing great work plowing...lol and yes, it gave me YOUR point of view while plowing with a big truck...really cool..:)
WOW, WOW, WOW 😂😂 I didn’t think you would have crawled out the snow banks until at least Tuesday or Wednesday 🤣🤣 great job Mike 👍👍 Stay safe out there ✊✊ I have to remember Pizza, popcorn and a pissa jug 😂👍👍 oh yea , I heard that durn a white out if you shut your eyes it helps to see better ✌️
Great video i love plowing i am a 22 year plow driver in central Mn and love my job i hope we get at least 1 good storm like the before i retire it just dosnt snow like this in Mn i run a 2021 westernstar tandem with a plow a wing and belly blade sander and brine system i have all the toys just not enough snow to play with have a great day be safe.
Love the videos. Here on Long Island we got 2 feet snowed Friday night and all day Saturday till 6 pm. Just got finished plowing everyone out today on Monday. We got hammered.
One good think about plowing parking lots,especially on weekends. We called it a night a 8 pm after the heavy snow fell in Woburn. And picked it up again at 6 on Sunday. The only place that was opening Sunday was the cinemas in Woburn. I think I played mechanic more that plowing this storm. 2 flats,and a rear brake rotor broke.
I've been out of Mass for 17 yrs but I immediately recognized 1030 as being WBZ. My mother always had that on in the background. We used to be glued to WBZ snow days in the 70s in hopes of school cancellations. Dave Maynard in the Morning. I was born Oct '69 so I "survived" the Blizzard of '78 and I know these weather people in New England have been lusting over forecasting the next '78. They all want to have their hat blow off live on TV like the newscaster back in '78 did. None have had the power of '78 since. Although I remember one being close in '94. I can't comment on winter 2015 because I was already gone 10 yrs by then. Thanks for the memories. Now I need to text back home and see how much they got up on the North Shore.
We got about 10" in my area out of that storm. Went out just after 10pm, got home around 5:30am, then jumped in the tractor for a couple hours to snowblow the driveways on my road. I miss the action of my commercial account in Portland, but I don't miss the 24 hours to do one complete round and cleanup of my route
Watching this video was trip down memory lane. Raised in Waltham, I plowed snow for Cochran Construction back in the late 60s before I joined the Air Force.
You brought back a lot of memories when I lived on the east side with that meatball sub the other day, another favorite of mine was the hot Italian sausage sub. I cant remember what kind of cheese was on them ? provolone or mozzarella ?? I liked both of them dressed with everything. Cant find the bread in AZ compared to there, it must be the climate.
That's interesting about the bread. I don't always eat unhealthy, if you were to watch my old videos, I eat a lot of collard wraps with hummus and a lot of salads with chicken breasts.
Awesome post! Up here in eastern Ontario Canada, we've been dealing with the first legitimate January winter in 3 years. We've had some decent snow falls but "NOTHING" like what that nor-easter dumped on you. But we've got temperatures in the minus 30s.....so we've got you beat there. Our trucks don't like being woken up when it's that cold. That's when you find out how good your hydraulic seals are......
we had a wicked blizzard up here in SW Saskatchewan on Monday, whiteouts everywhere, 1st time I've had to stay away from home since I started running garbage truck
Slick ol truck nice plow set up i have a sbowplow business I carry all kinds of snacks and goodies to I also keep a good chain in case i get hung up or in a emergency situation I need to yank somebody out or a situation I had to yank the door open to get the people out of a wreck with no help around in the freezing temperature
I was in Boston January 78 after that snow fell. Driving on packed snow that became ice about 6 " thick. If you found a pothole , you didn't move. Watched army APC drive across fields while traffic backed up unable to move.
i would love too send you a video of my plowing shift down in northeast PA we use tri-axels 14 foot blades and a spreader on back country roads Lots of fun
I remember the blizzard of 78 very well. We were snowed in for 4 days. Our son was born 9 months later. Then there was the blizzard of 82. Our daughter was born during it. Now everyone but us are getting blizzards. Give back our winter!!! lolol
Marcia Marcia Marcia! Pretty sure I was watching the Brady Bunch during the Blizzard of 78! It's nice that you have such great memories from those big storms! I agree, we really haven't had a real Boston winter since 2015.
The storm was not what they had predicted. I'm in the western part of Massachusetts along the Connecticut River and when it was over for us we ended up with a strong 3" . Except for the blowing it doesn't look like your day wasn't what you were expecting. The 78 blizzard was certainly a snow storm and very memorable.
If you want to stay up at night plowing snow? Chocolate covered coffee beans. They served me well between 3-4am. Another thing after many, many years of plowing snow, the smaller the flake the more snow you get.
Porter greetings! Does that Trojan have a 238 Detroit ? It sure sounded like it! 🧐 I love those 238s. We had one in an old IH cabover single axle. We hauled styrofoam with it. Loved it!! 🥰 Dude, you get to drive around in circles and on the wrong side of the road…when no one is around that is! WOW! 🤩 Good job. I was freaking out when you showed your snacks…I thought it was too much, but you do have to plan for long hours! A job well done!!! 🥰🤩✌️
Not sure about the 238. Yes we get to break lots of laws! The snacks are a bit to much but nothing is open during these kind of storms so you have to be prepared to be out for a day and a half. It's okay, I'm back on my salad and fruit diet, gotta look good for Louisville! You going?
@@TheBostonTrucker 🇺🇸 It’s nice that you get to do portions with your fellow drivers. That is so, so cool! I am sure wanting to go! Both my boys might go as well. We’re also hoping to go to the Fairborn (Dayton) show. This Covid thing has really sucked! I’m so glad to be able to get to some shows this year. I am hoping to make some progress on my trucks this year as well…REO & IH 9670. 🥰😎✌️
Mr Nice Guy --that beats ya up for sure --i know u know what "snow blind" is whn its like that !! Nice job --as long as i ddnt get wet I was ok --but wet & cold = miserable (for me) nice job !!
