After 5 inches of snow, I went to work and shoveled out an 1800 sqft house I am building. Walls up, ready for trusses. BAD!

I know some have to put the T up for winter due to cold, salt,ect... I have to keep mine at the ready. Living in the country and on a gravel road meens no salt. Lots of open pasture lends itself for winter games. The grandkids wanted to go sledding tonight? Paw Paw cant refuse granting their wishes. After all it is our right to spoil them. Usually when the snow is deep, the 4 wheeler fills this bill but its only about 5 inches !
Sooo! Loading up Headed to the pasure And we're off! Round and round Sun is going down and the chill of 18 degrees is setting in.

Well I wanted to post a couple more photos but the inteweb had other ideas. Yes snow is good when grandkids are concered!

Those kids are like spiders, They suck you into their webs!

This time of year there is nothing like a T in the snow.
Thank you for the participation.

Rich, I thought low band took a dump. The engine rev but no go in low. Turns out the rear wheel was spinning! Not a problem often encountered with 20hp. My 275 lb son hopped in the back and we were off again!

When I was a kid we'd load all the neighborhood kids in my dad's bobsleigh pulled by a team of horses. We'd tie a couple of long ropes from the back of the sleigh and hook several sleds to them. We'd run thru fields or down back roads when the snow was deep enough to cover the gravel. It was great fun!

I've never had my T in the snow and don't know for sure if I will. No top or heater, wimpy old guy for a driver.... If I had grand kids, things might be different

On a slightly different subject - today I used my old Ford tractor to plow the foot plus of snow that fell yesterday - this was the first time I've plowed since I broke my leg doing the same thing last January.... you better believe I paid attention to where I placed my feet.

Glad to hear you got back on that horse Tim. Sorry you had to!

Gotta love it Dallas.
We got the major salt dumpage !!

We had 14" of snow yesterday … they were calling for 8". I always like to post this when it snows.

I have them Steve, just didnt use them

You, my friend, are living the dream.

Having grandchildren is the dream! Teaching them how to have fun with a T is a bonus. Had to post this. Looks like a R. Eagle painting?

I bet Rich can make it a painting, beautiful picture Dallas.

Just Awesome Dallas, Thanks for sharing!

Hank

Boy I miss those days. Maybe I better grab a rope and my Flexible Flyer and head on over. The snow missed us.

We have pleanty Dave! Better get started, it will be gone next week. We can go to the Twin Six to warm up after.

What happened to the dog???

That was Daisy. She was a real sweetheart. It looks like she did go outside before I closed the door.

She liked to help me collect firewood.

Sweet pupper Steve!
Dallas, how these surreal last pics? Very cool.

My son likes to play with the photos on his phone. He sent them to me.

Dallas, Anyone of your photos would make a fine Christmas Card!

Dogs, grandkids and Model T's....pretty much all a guy needs.

I have two out three. I'm hoping for the trifecta before too long.

Snow being either good or bad depends on the amount received and when. If the crops are still in the field a little can go along way.When you only get a little and you wonder why the combines are not running,it is because when a slight amount of snow hits the fan it will melt causing ice to freeze on the sives and that can be a real mess!!!!! Skidding logs in snow will keep them clean and dragging a fuel oil hose is easy and it covers up dog poop!A little snow on a icy road will give better traction. Makes a nice picture if YOU do not have to deal with it!!! Bud.

Dallas - what a beautiful photo! Thanks for sharing.

Bud - we've still got a lot of crops in the fields and the foot of snow we got has put a stop to the harvest for now. It's been a rough year for farmers in my area.

Yes i heard you got about twice what we did.Yesterday at the table of knowledge i was told a few were still trying to dig sugar beets in the mess!! I would have liked to escape between Christmas and the new year but i might have a problem now. Bud

C'mon Bud, hop in with Dave and come on down! After sledding we can carry corn to the house for the stove. Warm up twice that way.
