How do you plow snow?

[Carl_NH]

We've had coldest December in a long time, but minimal precipitation - 4 or 5 annoyance snows 1-3" at a time.

But since it's been cold, it doesn't melt in shaded areas so need to clean up these small sqaulls otherwise ice forms.

0.8” rain and 40°f today. Winter sucks this year.

Forgot to mention that we still have some green grass in places.

Our normal average January temp is 22 degrees.

Already in January and finally last night, mounted up the Inverted blower. This winter "so far" is more like a wet fall than an actual winter.

Same time of year, and same place where the tractor is parked now but in 2022

Same here in Western Wyoming. Even last year we had at least a couple static feet by now. What the hell?

Very cold Dec here and quite a few nuisance storms, but nothing big. I still haven't put the blower on the tractor, so far the utv has done all the snow removal work. We have rain in the forecast this week.

Wow! How much clearance under the garage door? Also, not snow related but what is the car parked next to it?

What winter? Now there are red flag warnings somewhat nearby.

Plowing over the weekend and I'm plowing today as well

.. We are on track for a record setting winter.

What brand of tracks are on your 4-Wheeler?

Its a 6 wheel and they are Apache pods sold by BRP and made by Soucy.

About 2" clearance. I measured about 50 times before buying the tractor. Its neighbor is a '64 Mercedes 230SL.

 

[Carl_NH]

Had a 82 380sl but your car is much rarer - nice garages and lift too!

I see why they are so long in the back being a 6 wheeler. Have a set of Camso tracks for my Yamaha Grizzly. THye are good in the snow but pretty hard to turn on dry ground.

We've been operating utv's and atv's with pods for well over 20 years. We do not recommend them used on anything but snow n ice.

Arly is correct. One reason I sold the ones I had for my Ranger. They are a "one trick pony".

That's a beauty ! Looks like the real deal.

I'm surprised the snow isn't up to or above the windows where it slides off the roof.

We've actually had fairly decent snowfall this year, couple of 8+"ers, plus a bunch of nuisance storms. Don't bother to plow the small stuff, let it build up a good base on the driveway. It's knee deep at my house.
Last few years, storms tended to be northeasters/coastal storms which you'll get buried while NE of the White Mts. we'll see only a few inches. Glad to see that pattern has been broken (at least so far). Most snowmobile trails still not open yet, had a couple rainstorms followed by temp plunges that turned it to crust.
