Two weeks ago, we got over 3 feet, the most ever recorded here. It was about double what the forecast called for. I spent over 8 hours on the tractor. It was light and fluffy, but it was so cold, the little bit of snow left on the driveway after the FEL cleared it, froze almost immediately, which equalled tire spin, even in 4WD. I have chains, but have never needed them, and would not have needed them for the amount forecast. They did not plow our road until the afternoon of the day after it stopped snowing. So, I had to plow the road to get to the barn to feed the horses, about 100 yards. I had walked through it the day before and it was exhausting, snow up to my knees. Of course, I had just gotten to the barn driveway when the big wheel loader was coming down the road at me. Turn around and skeedaddle to the driveway at the house to get out of his way. I ran out of places to pile the snow. And we have a porch with a low slope roof and an addition with a flat roof. I had to shovel them, too. Shoveling and plowing for three days. :thumbdown:Wish we would get something to plow. So far this has been the worst winter since I started plowing commercially about 9-10 years ago.
