I just got in from getting my slowmobile stuck 1/2 mile up the property, bit too much powder for breaking trail with a heavy 2 up sled, now it's beer o clock then out to shovel and retrieve! Beautiful day though, sunny and -10c, I was out looking for tracks, see what critters are hanging around.

Not sure if I'd trade this for sweating my bag off mowing the grass...

Spring must be on it's way because the road bans went on today and we have a good crop of frost heaves popping up.

Seems like people have given up trying to see around the snowbanks : they just pull right out !!

Its barely in the double digits this week. Next week dosent look much better its going to go negative some nights. They say that the air comeing off the snow miles away is going to make it cold for alot longer to come.

All vehicles should have safety whips when the snowbanks are that high, people are nuts but atleast then you could see their little flag coming! Haha

The flag is a great idea ! But I'm afraid the snowbanks are too tall.

My idea is to take a self contained backup camera/monitor and put the camera on a bracket on my front liscence plate looking left. Might even see a turn signal with it... if people still use those...

I used to plow city streets with an old 14E with 16 foot one way plow on the front. Some buildings were right on the street. A grader is long enough without that big plow sticking out. I used to edge out and hope someone would see the little piece of reflective tape on the left corner and stop

I see this morning that one of the frost heaves took out someone's oil pan. Wonder if they will slow down next year ?

Got my camera going :)

Haven't had a reall snowfall here since November...had nothing but a couple inches here and and there and then freezing rain on top to really make things miserable the last couple of months, March shows up and we got a few inches of snow(not much at all compared to most of you fellas) and tonight supposed to get 6 or so more inches. Mother Nature is confused or just doesn't like us, I want the frost and snow gone.....
