I have been putting this dump in to use a a lay down for onsite fab we have to do. Not too big probably a squeak less than an acre. Started from the front, knew we had ton of snow coming. Exaggerated the drainage to the point it looks like a down hill course put a lift in had the truck wheel roll it and repeat. I still have some of the finest mud in the land after several weeks of single and or no digit freeze, 2 feet of snow over two weeks. If I can't get it to come around, look for "Mother Deuce's Organic Beauty Mud" coming to a store near you!

I wish I had a cam/phonr mount on my hard hat. I was wrestling an excavator for bits of baby eucalyptus trees, with the clamshell of a skip loader, for an hour or so today. It was amusing.

I used the CAT to dig thru 3-4 feet of snow at the low side of my house to make sure water doesn't back up behind the ice.

We just went through the coldest Feb. in the last 40 years. Lots 0f -30C temperatures and a lot of snow. Out at my property the snow is about 18" deep everywhere. I've cleared the driveway a few times but last Sat. had to take the cat to make a path around the oval track. Skid steer wouldn't go too far but a lot of the reason is because earlier in the winter the weather was crazy. Would snow a bunch, then warm up and melt, then snow a bunch and melt. There's a sheet of ice under everything. We're getting decent weather finally, I just hope it doesn't get real warm real fast so it floods everything because the water has nowhere to go.

I went and measured the snow on a pickup cap that's on 4x4s on a flatbed trailer ( 34" deck ht.).
My snowshoes were more than 36" above the ground and the snow on the cap was 40".
Going to be interesting when ( if ? ) it melts.

Last year we had all the Dahlia starts (several hundred) in racks on heating pads in the back bedroom... errrgh uh "greenhouse" for several months before we could move them outside. Had good results though.

Were down to about 4 inches on the ground roads are clear... not snowing here finally. Was thinking about possibly about taking the studs off the car. However just the thought of that usually creates a blizzard.

:eek: Dont think it then. Its been up and down for the last week, thought we turned a corner till I woke to this ugliness.
In all fairness, I like snow. On Christmas morning. Maybe a couple of weeks through the winter. This, this is getting old.:mad:
