We have 2 feet of snow on the ground here.
I have been plowing with my truck so far all winter. But today I headed out with the tractor.

I needed to make more room in a couple places that I stack snow with the truck plow like this square turn. It was all hard packed.

And this fork where the crotch is filled in -

Then I broke 0.2 miles of trail pulling my saw so I could cut a dead tree that fell across during a storm last weekend.

I figured posting the same old pics would get old but honestly we have been getting several inches of snow every week and I have been out on the tractor clearing the drive what seems like every 3 days or so.

I'm reaching the point of the season where I am looking for the finish line of winter.........

This is the top of the drive looking up our road, with 4' high side piles....

When I was working and people would start looking for the end of winter in the middle of February I would just smile to my self. We would snow shoe, ski, and ice fish into April. So there is a lot of winter left and some of the best weather.

Snowshoeing later today....... honestly, here's the thing, I don't mind winter. My wife has 2 horses that are boarded off property where she goes and trains 6 days per week. I hear about frozen buckets, ice, blankets, and -10F mornings more than I care to so at some point I need some relief lol

And, I miss golf and my fun car which has been put away for winter.

Other than that we love some XC skiing, snowshoeing for me, fat biking and some rabbit hunting but.......
