Woke up this morning to almost whiteout conditions and about 20" of snow on the ground. It didn't stop falling until about 3:00 this afternoon. Once the snow stopped I got out the BX23 and started in on clearing up the snow. I keep the tractor in one of those temporary garage structures in my backyard and just to get to the driveway I have to clear a path. That was when I first got stuck - I have a pretty narrow area I can get thru to the driveway that has holes on both sides, and the snow was so deep I got one of the rear wheels off into the hole and darn tractor wasn't going anywhere. The tractor was high sided on the ground and the rear tire that was in the hole was just spinning in the snow. I finally managed to get the tractor out by using the factory jack from our Volkswagen Passat to jack up the side of the tractor that was stuck and get a board under it. That gave me enough traction to back the BX out of the hole.
