Almost tipped it yesterday.

[Jerome]

Blowing snow yesterday and was turning around on the road and pulled over to the side to let a car pass, all at once I was looking at the snow bank at a very weird angle. My Front tire had slipped off the shoulder (it looked like it was there) and the kubota was leaning against the snow bank. If i went forward I would have gone over for sure so I kept it in reverse and back up the road till I came to the neighbours driveway and used that slope to get the wheel out. Only damage was a bit of paint scraped off the bottom of the front axel and some staining to my snowsuit.

Glad all is well Jerome. With the amount of snow we have the last 4 days and drifted banks along the sides it is easy to do, can't be too carefull. I was in Owen Sound this afternoon and could hardly get through the streets with the banks and parked vehicles.

Again glad you are OK and that will remind me to watch for that when I clear my lane tonight.

I'm sure that many of us will recall similar situations that ended up as well. Glad to hear no injury and no real damage.

Mornin Jerome,
The same thing happened to me except I was in my Dodge PU 4x4. The wife wanted me to pull off to the side to take some pictures and what I thought was roadway was actually drainage ditch. Soiled my britches and I remember hitting the steering wheel center so hard that I thought the airbag was gonna get deployed Some nice guy came by and pulled me out ! Amen, all for some pictures

 

[rox]

glad you didn't over react and kept your cool. Bet you will know where that shoulder is for the next time though!

I have a ditch at the bottom of my driveway that always makes me nervous...just can't see it once there is enough snow. I just try to give it a wide berth!

Glad you ended up safe.
