Winter Storm of Feb 1-3

[Bigturk]

Lots of seat time after this last storm Eh! I managed to get off the shoulder of the road today. The more I tried to get out, the further she went towards the woods. Had to get a Payloader to pull me out. Here are some pics of the fun I had today. Beauty Eh? [/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

I spent about two hours cleaning my drive this afternoon, it's about 600' long. I did one smart thing, I bought some goggles, but I really need a face mask, which I don't have. I actually had some ice frozen on my cheek. Right now at 7:50pm, I'd say it's snowing 2" or more an hour. I can't even tell how much we've got, it's so windy.

Anyone ever try one of these,a glorified grinding mask.

Clean up time today. We got about 18 inches on the flat, drifts twice that or better.

I cleared about 11" around my yard today. This Frontier snowblower is really something else. This snowfall gave it a great workout and it liked it.!! And, my neck and back are getting used to the crookedness of the process with a 3pt. blower.

Today's weather was mid 20's, no wind, full sun. Just a gorgeous afternoon for about 2 hours of quality seat time, making the tractor really work.

Life is good mon.!!:thumbsup:

p.s. I lost my camera in the snow bank...hooking a chain onto a vehicle that was off the road. Otherwise, pictures would be posted. New camera this weekend.??....

I did not fix my big old junk Plow truck last year. I have to use my L39 with 6' Bucket.

Slow and cold.

I have been beating the poor tractor up for hours on end. Really scary hitting a frozen boulder, etc.

I figured I have piled the equivalent of a 8' high x 25' wide x 350-400' long pile clearing out the farm and drive. That is 1500 -1800 Cubic yards of snow. Clearing a paddock or parking area is not so bad, but clearing 1400 Road with a tractor is slow going, an angle blade works much better.

I thought I was rough on the tractor moving 1200 yards of dirt I dug from my two small ponds with my excavator, but at least with the ponds I have something to show for the wear and tear.

I'd rather be skiing.

Only about 8" total. Enough to get a little seat time in but not enough to give any problems. Nothing like watching the white stuff fly deep into the woods on a nice sunny day.
