I NEED snow!

2 bonuses so far this winter: The heat bill has been very manageable and the hours are being kept off the tractor.
We don't slammed with snow as a rule, but last winter I used the tractor more in a one month period than I did in the previous 3 winters combined.
That Kubota is just fine sitting inside and saving itself for spring! :thumbsup:

I've been playing russian roulette with the snow....or snow machine. Have yet to take off the loader, bolt on the front hitch, or install my new cutting edge on my blade, and install the blade.....just keep "putting it off"......:laughing:

My view is that that is only 1 bonus.
Heat bill: :thumbsup:
Hours off the tractor: :thumbdown: = NO SEAT TIME!!!! :(

Agreed.

I've used the blower only 2x this year, and neither was a real challenge for the machinery.

I enjoy the winter, if it's cold and clean. This sloppy crap, where there lakes barely freeze and there's no snow is not what I'm used to. I'd love a couple of real squalls, batten down the hatches, stay at home days.

I've only been to Chaumont in the summer (Crescent YC). I'm surprised to hear you don't get much snow - I guess it's because you're just far enough around the end of the lake, up the east end, to avoid the lake-effect snows that Oswego gets.

No relief on the heating bill as temps have been near average, December was actually 1 degree cooler than Dec 2010. Snow actually has some insulation value. We are short on precipitation overall, not just snow.

Cold temps, high winds, and no snow mean higher heating bills for me; or a lot more wood burned in the fireplace to take the chill off.

Worse, the driveway melts too quickly and often, leading to mud ruts that then refreeze. Worse than 4 wheeling on a lava bed.

I've only got to plow one time this year and it really didn't need it, probably did more damage to the gravel drive than good but it was a lot of fun. Still crossing my fingers for a lot of snow. I love winter!
