3 ft snow drift

[dmay]

We had a light snow fall last night. Only 4 inches. Then we had 60-80 mph winds which lasted the entire evening. My driveway turned into a solid 3 ft of wind drifted snow. Here are pics after I cleared my driveway. Had to raise the snowblower to highest position, clear the top, then back up and clear the base. Repeat every 4 ft until I cleared the entire driveway. I have a total of 9000 sq ft to clear including driveway, garage, parking, driveway to horse paddock, and a large trailer turn-a-round area. Took two hours to clear.

If you didn't have that tractor they would be air lifting you supplies. Looks like you had a good time.

Thanks for the pics. Good machine for those tough conditions. I suspect the temp wasn't so great either. Hope you can get the cab soon.

Dang, that looks like fun ... Now granted I'm in a nice warm room right now. I'm wishing for one more good snow storm before full spring hits .. good ol #3 storm I call it...

#1: Cant make it to work snowfall
#2: Can't make it to the liquor store snowfall
<------ NEED STORM HERE
#3: Can't make it to the ski lift snowfall ...

Tractor on

You should have put a weight on the seat and put the tractor in cruise control so we could see an action shot.

Too bad you didn't have one of these.

Winter just likes hanging on here. Today is -15. At least the wind has gone. Took my smaller walk behind snowblower over to the inlaws today who live in the city to clear their driveway. Even they had a foot of snow in front of their garage door.

Too funny. :laughing: Sure did.

David vs. Goliath ... you need a bigger snow blower and of course a bigger tractor to power it ... while you're at it might as well included a heated cab!

Consider yourself lucky your rig didn't just climb over the top of the drift. :thumbsup:

And the next wind betcha it's a repeat performance. :thumbsup:
