When I get up in the morning I look out and see if we got any snow, haven't had a bad winter since 1978, so I am surprised if we have very much accumulation. If not very much it will usually melt away fairly quickly. If it is deep then when I go out to push it off with the snow blade. I take the pt off the twinkle charger get in the cab of my pt 425 close the doors start the tractor push the garage door opener and then back out. I then go up to the driveway and back drag the snow away from my upper garage where the driveway gate opens. I then push the snow to the center of the driveway from the upper carport to the carport in front of the house. I then back up on the carport and push the snow out the driveway and over the hill and most of the snow rolls into the creek and is immediately gone. I do have to push the snow across the road so I have to watch for traffic which is very light traffic but there are some that makes you think they would run you down [fried brains I believe]. Last year we didn't get any snow to the extent that I needed to remove it from the driveway I don't believe. In the areas where the rest of you live does it seem like the winters are getting milder or worse? I shouldn't have mentioned our mild winters, we probably will have a bad one this year, shucks!
