Surreal snow, no road.

I took a different approach. I built the road up and have big ditches on each side. The wind blows the snow to the ditches.

No need to plow...

Ask me how many years it took to figure that out...

Should of only taken one year to figure that out in the winter wind capitol of the Lower 48. If it blows trucks off the road, why not the snow?

How do y'all remove snow? Plow truck, snowblower, 3-point back blade, etc.
Our primary snow mover is the 1989 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 6'6" Western snowplow. It does a real good job with a front diff lock, 5 speed with the 4.0L. It's nice to have a heated cab. Traction becomes an issue in wet, sloppy spring snows though. View attachment 4419913
With my SSV65 with a snowblower, the B2601 with a plow and now a sander, or lastly my old L2250 with a fixed plow. The driveway is 800 ft long. A couple of times I've had to use my BCS 725 snowblower. There are times that we get almost 30" of snow from a storm here.

Now days I plow snow by sitting in the recliner until it melts. We have not been getting snow for the past several years like we used to, maybe an inch or so that melts off reasonably quick and I for one am DARN glad of it.

We're not getting as much here either. Ground was bare most of the winter except for this surprise 12 incher:

Now just hope that Chevy (oops, GMC) holds up... ;)
Was kind of wondering the same thing about the guy who used the 80s vintage tacoma.

Keeping it pretty simple here:
Loader's not ideal, but I only have a couple hundred-foot driveway so it does the job. Would be nice to have a blade where I could adjust the angle, but then it wouldn't fit in the garage.
