Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[Hilbilly]

It's been sunny and warm for awhile and I thought Spring was here. Snow was melting quickly and the mud season started and then ...... it snowed today. Only got about 4" but there is still about a foot of snow on the sunny side of the roof and 1.5' to 2' on the shady side. Still 2' to 2.5' in the bush. The forecast calls for colder temps for the next week but no snow until Thursday. I put the snow blower away on Sunday, thinking I was done for this season. But I'm not taking the chains off until ALL of the ice is off the driveway.

I'd say the total snowfall this season hasn't been unusually different from other years ...... other than the one CRAZY event that saw 48" in 24 hours. Sure wish I took some videos of the snow moving operations I went through when that happened. That had to be a once in a lifetime event for here.

Back in the days of 1950's in my youth, there were only shovels.. one shovel-full at a time. 1/4 mile long driveway held a lot of shovel-fulls and sometimes 12-20" storms. But keeping at it, and eventually it gets done.
Dreamed of a power machine to move snow.

Nobody to figure out how to rig a plow on a car in the 50's? Mechanics Illustrated and Popular Mechanics had all kinds of diy stuff.

In the early 50's, central IA, most people didn't have a car. Father couldn't buy a new car after WWII because had to already have a car to do that. So purchased an old Model A that we had to have for at least a year. Then a new '49 Ford Stationwagon Woody. High maintenance on the wood cladding.
But the driveway to the long 2-block alleyway had to be shoveled.. but it was pretty flat..

LOL when watching the Elec Smart move a couple inches of snow..

You don't need a car, a Harley will work!

A very cool High School Tech Ed class made this for one of its residents.
