I'm blowing leaves in my yard today, upper 40's and 50's for the last week and no storms on the radar for at least a week forward.

This is messing up my internal Hibernating Bear (Contractor) biological clock

Not much of anything here yet this year. But a few years ago we had a winter like this and on Valentine's day we got a dumping of over 3' with a second dumping of over 2' on St Patty's day. What as been a pain is the fact that things keep melting then freezing. That means putting down sand. Of course that's just got me looking for a good 3 pt sander.

I want a sander that I can hook to my bucket so I can sand behind my 3pt snowblower. I don't know where the power would come from - maybe a small hydraulic motor. Think something like that exists, or do I have to invent it?

Incidentally, all I see is grass everywhere. I can live w/o spending a half day out of every weekend clearing snow like last winter, but this is wreaking havoc with my ski season, I'll tell you that.

Someone was right. Come up here to alaska. It is a record year up here. Cabin has 6' of compacted or compressed snow. I have never seen it this deep up at the house. Today it is coming down inches an hour. already 7" on the ground since 8 AM. And supposed to get another 8" before it is over. I blew snow last night for 2 hours and will do so again tonite. Gosh I love this enclosed 5740. If you all want to come up and take turns, let me know. The skandic superwide is having troubles getting around in all this stuff.
