Thanks Keith. I sure will. I'll be INSIDE, looking OUT!! :lol:
We're expecting 12" of snow here in winter cesspool Ohio by Tuesday noon. Bet I won't make it to town
for my haircut. My road will drift closed. I'll be out enough on my tractor plowing the driveway. Glad I have a cab on it!
You keep on enjoying, looks like you are.

Well we don't have quite as much on the ground. But they still keep promising 10-12" overnight.
So I scraped the inch we got today, and pushed back the piles to make room for the new. Mayne tomorrow I'll post an "after" pic. :lol:

Looks different than yesterday Tim. Gotto love the midwest. Another 3 to 6 possible thursday? No wind, no problem. We're in trouble with any wind now the banks are up.

I like the plow attachment - might have to look into for the JD BUT we don't get snow very often ! Not like this anyway !

Yeh Dan, I finally discovered that. So for you, that WAS a big deal! :lol:
Steve, yes that plow is the cats meow! This little bugger can plow some very serious snow and stack it high. It's the only part of winter that I actually like!!

Larry, I'm actually the same. Can't wait for summer. We don't get spring here anymore...we just jump right from winter to summer come June.

We only got about 2 inches. Not fair that it is all heading south. We want our snow back.

We haven't had much snow accumulation this year. The last couple days gave us enough to make tracks in on our way to breakfast today.

Nothing interesting or unusual to report though.
Parking between trees has helped some too.
Rich
When did I do that?
