My dog Pica is loving it, she is a Norwegian Elkhound.

The next dog we are getting we are going back to Elkhounds - they are the best. Our little female gave us lots of good memories. Like our lab mix we have now but he is not an Elkhound - beautiful as well as being wonderful dogs! Your photo brings back memories of how they loved the snow - we had a hard time getting her inside when there was fresh snow!

BTW. The weather here was perfect today - high 20s and sunny so we did not have the mess of thawing but a great day to be outside. We have less than an inch on the ground but that came a few days ago. Nothing recent.

They really are great dogs. Was good to see her happy running around in the snow with the kids. She is one tired pup tonight, she's falling asleep with her head in my hand.

Where's her sled and whiskey barrel? She looks ready to pull something!:thumbsup:

Here in Northern Central Maryland, we've been blasted by 23" as I write this, with another 5-8" forecast before daylight tomorrow. I've been out three times, but the winds and drifts are causing trouble. Only my neighbor and his Deere 5055E has saved my bacon, using his big loader bucket, removing the high piles of snow on the sides, leaving just enough for me to plow where our lane is boxed in by banks and trees. I have chains (never installed, will need some fitting) for my front tires, and now I am wishing I had put them on. Slow learner, I guess. I am just a bit worried about damaging something in the drive line.

That pic is a good decision maker for those who are considering a cabbed tractor or not.

Can't seem to post pictures - I select a picture from my computer, the click "upload" and nothing happens. Maybe a size limit on the uploads?

4 inches of snow is not worth taking a picture of. So, no pictures from me.

In Northern Va we got 24-30 inches with drifting. Had about a 4 foot drift in front of the garage.

The canopy of this pine got iced up and crashed down on my porch roof...broke some rafters and the beam and trashed some metal roof panels...it could have been a lot worse...
...The yard birds (regular raking crew) got the day off with the snow...!

We had a few small flurries but they never made it off the windshield - but then, I do live in Florida, what did you expect? We don't even have a snow plow

Things are under control, once again. I had posted a photo of me plowing during the blizzard (and it was, we officially got 30" here) and someone observed that the photo was a good argument for a cabbed tractor! He's right, of course. I know it! But then, today was bright and sunny, around freezing, just perfect for being out on an open station tractor, being fully part of the plowing/clearing experience. I drive in the woods to collect firewood, and use a post hole auger, which I wouldn't want a cab for, and I can't afford two tractors, so... I think I found the limit for a plow on a small CUT- a snowblower would have been nice, but probably not faster than repeated cuts and pushing.

I would have used my loader bucket and rear blade for this storm (I have to deal with a confined lane in places, with no place to push the snow off to the sides) but I stupidly parked them too far back in the yard- getting to them would have been a whole other project.

And, my neighbor came by in his Deere 5055E with a hot cab, and let me play with it a bit. All in all, a good day. Now, to get a gas snowblower to avoid shoveling!!

Good clean fun!

Plowed my untouched driveway when I got home from work as the storm was ending, we got 30" of snow here, all week forecasters were calling for 6"-10" 8"-12" for our area, d*mn goofs!

This shows why a loader SSQA plow isn't all bad (compared to a closer-in frame mount, anyway) in that I could push it up and over the piles when I ran out of places to put snow. The orange part of the snow pole is 6', the pile was over 7' high when I was finished. Melting will probably take until April.
