snow pics

[I Know Something]

Just another February weekend here in Southern Minnesota!

Love the plowing pics.

That one storm this year got me from the north bad. No snow fence from the north being it has only happened a few times since 94. Bet your azz I have one back there this winter.

3' drift about 2o' wide with wrong tires still on between me and the 700' drive with 1'-1.5' the rest of the way. Was like a heavy ice snow mix.

Fence in pic is for where the top turn is.

Seeing Phil's bristle brushes deal. I wonder what my echo and wife's stihl could do for snow.
We use them on 57 gravel after plow season and when apple trees are over bearing.

Amazing how much stronger the echo is. They should have put a pro grade motor on the stihl.

Not no 4 mix crap either. Rather have the weak 2 stroke stihl motor then that.

Pretty hard packed.

Maybe not as hard packed as that plowed snow at the end of the driveway that forced my neighbor's car above the road yesterday as she rammed into it backwards. I have never seen that before.

Philbert, your snow depth has my snow beaten by a foot, even if mine has more ice. How on earth do we cope with this stuff?

This is a first. This latest storm had wind out of a weird direction and turned my awning into a Venturi. The wood pile is 25ft from the open end. Time to bust out the leaf blower...lol!

Path in my yard so my stubby leg dog can get to where she does her dog type stuff.

Expecting another 3" on Friday and Saturday. Below zero Saturday night and Sunday. When is it all going to end? Average high this time of year is supposed to be 45 F.

Same nonsense here. Every overnight low in the ten day is below zero here.

I have noticed also that the last four storms we have had here in Nebraska have eventually gone straight to northern Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I've tried to steer them elsewhere or snuff them out, but they don't respond. In fact, they sometimes gain strength instead.

Here's my latest snow thrower enhancement after the skids wore out:


I decided to try shop-made wheels. They roll rather than scrape. So far, so good. That's a 29", 10 Hp Craftsman that I have used for almost 24 years.

This right here, this man speaks the truth. Getting sick of all this "Blame Canada / Gary" BS.

A likely story Gary... We're onto you, eh.

I'm blaming the left coast. It's a combination of too much wetness and hot air that get's cold as it heads east and turns into ice and snow. Latest is that they also don't like our heavy machinery that runs on gas and diesel fuel.

Imagine running heavy snow removal equipment on electricity.

I bought these big skids. I have a concrete drive and this makes the transitions less jarring.

What's snow?.......

You'll find out soon enough when you come home there Gator man. Be lucky if it's melted before August here.

I told you to quit buying all them damn Arctic saws. Lol
