How will you cope with the snow this winter?

[jmurray01]

Will you put down preventative products like salt to stop the snow lying on your property or will you wait until it falls then clear it with a snow blower, tractor or just by simple shoveling?

Share your methods here.

I will just push it with the front blade on my tractor. I do hope to get chains for the rear tires though.

I will push it with my 89 F250 diesel wit 7.5' Fisher, or my 98 Explorer with 6' Myers, or blow it with the 68" Meteor I am hopefully picking up tonight. We get a lot of snow and I plow for neighbors/vacation homes up here. I am quite prepared this year...:cool2:

Well I endured one year with just a Toro 824 when we got over 160" of snow.....vowed to never let that happen again!

you could say that.....

The snowfighters last year...."Clampy" and "Junior"...

Here is Lica posing....normally where she is resting is about 6' BELOW the window sill...

Here is the top of my drive, it's about a 12' dropoff below what I am standing on...

And just for fun......

It's -40F

Even the huskies did not like that cold night.....

But.....totally worth it in Summer and Fall.....

I will be clearing the driveway with the BX's FEL. Everywhere else will be shoveled by hand.

We only use salt or ice melt right outside our door and on the patio.

I have perfected the act of hibernating and intend to prove it this winter

I'll make my fat slob of a wife get off her lazy fat *** and shovel it. Maybe after the exercise should wont be so repulsive to look at and I can turn on the lights for once during the ***.

I'll cope with the snow by living below the snowline. Then, drive the hour 15 minutes to Tahoe, ski all day, and come home below the snowline

I love the snow to visit, but I don't know how you guys live in it.

I always wonder, how do the Ekimo, and how did the Native Americans of the Northern Plains live in heavy snow in teepee's...
