I have found long johns, Carhartt bibs and hoodie over a wool base layer and a waterproof outer shell and a good hat or facemask with Muck boots (with or without toe warmers) gets the job done. Typically if we are getting snow temps are in the 20s with some wind. I have been out there in the...

Wasn't planning on dealing with snow removal today but the storm that was supposed to pass south of us brought slow steady flakes totaling an annoying 2". Back blade time......the gravel is frozen at this point so was able to use the aggressive side of the blade. Will most likely have to sand...

Well, if I were a jazz drummer I would clearly walk around randomly with the box instead of a straight line and make people interpret where I was trying to go.......

No judgement zone. We all have the world's most expensive wheelbarrows and I bet we all do this, I know I use it for things I "could" carry but........tractor. Chewy box with a 50lb bag of dog food.....sure I "could" carry it from A to B but I had the tractor going anyways so.......

I had this same problem a few years back when I was building out my home recording studio (I'm a drummer) and the Fed Ex and USPS guys would just leave stuff at the top of my driveway or worse on the opposite side of the road by our mailbox which would sometimes slide down into the frozen...

Got 8-10" overall.....nice dry fluffy stuff, great for a blower and no wind this morning to speak of.

Ah.....I was looking at an NC or ND Miata for a bit as well, killer fun cars. In the bubble is a Porsche 911, a 997.1 C4S from 2006........there is some family history with that car and I am now the new custodian of it and enjoying the heck out of it. During the warmer months I was going on...

Winter prep done today ahead of 4-8" early this week. Pulled the FEL, wrapped that up with the tarp, mounted the blower after greasing all the zerks on both the frame and blower before mounting. Grabbed the rear blade as well, I wanted to see if I could fit the full setup into the Morton this...

Here in NH we have the typical New England cold temp range, 30 to -20F, but the coldest I usually run it is 10F or so. I have a block heater but have not installed it as of yet. I usually run the glow plugs for slow 7 or 8 count and it fires right up with a small protest then let it warm for...

Actually a fairly enjoyable morning blowing snow......6 degrees but I'll take the trade off of having nice fluffy stuff to blow vs the heavy wet crap. 2601 worked well.

Looks like I am blowing 8" of light fluffy snow today........7 degrees and blowing up to 30mph so there is that....... Then heading up to the cabin to fire up the woodstove and work from there for a couple days as it will be deep into the negatives up there and I don't feel like burning a ton...

Another morning, another 2" of snow and ice to clear, so another hour on the Orange Chariot. Then because it is 2024.....a nice inexplicable 1.2" of rain and 55-60 degrees tomorrow, which will then freeze up like a clam over night as temps drop to mid 20s. I am starting to think I should just...

Yesterday morning I woke up to a dusting of 1-1.5" of snow on top of the handpicked previously cleared gravel drive. I really didn't want to bother with it, but I also knew that amount on top of the skim coat would freeze up and be a PITA with our hill. So I had 45 mins before I needed to head...

When I was checking over the tractor for winter use, I noticed another one of my 3 LED ROPS lights is toast and flickering with only a few of the individual LEDs actually working. I also had a new one laying around since when the first one went I contacted ROPSLights.com where I got the kit and...

Ran out in between today's meetings and work BS to finish mounting the blower. Hydraulics tested, blower tested and hydro lines safely tethered to keep them safe. Gotta run back out later and fuel it up and toss the Ram 2500 back in the Morton and button things up for snow overnight. Now...
