I grew up in the middle of a snowbelt and I can't shake the idea that I have to get after it, no matter how little it actually snows ! <br /><br />The part Melissa forgot to mention is that there is a 200 foot elevation change between the bottom and the top of our current curved, paved, and extremely steep north facing, shaded 1/2 mile long driveway, so even a skiff of snow or ice turns the thing into a toboggan ride from hell. Believe me when I say I look forward to the day I no longer have to fool with clearing the driveway on top of everything else, or, alternately, parking my truck a half mile from, the house in nasty weather and hoofing it up the hill.<br /><br />Isobelle; I'm available for hire, but only from May till September !<br /><br />SmartAlex;<br /><br />The more I hear about Tim, the more curious I am to actually meet him ! :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092424684260339977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-52379019620750446952010-12-15T16:10:58.884-06:002010-12-15T16:10:58.884-06:00Hahaha, I'm dying.

And last time it really snowed, I made a path to the paddock with a manure fork!<br /><br />We got an inch last night and it's all gone today. Proper snow behavior IMO.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-15420347917713311862010-12-15T11:11:17.489-06:002010-12-15T11:11:17.489-06:00Ahhh...

And he doesn't even have a heated cab on his tractor. He plows our drive, the neighbor's driveways (whether they want him to or not), the road side for a quarter mile to prevent the full snow plow from emptying in the end of our drive. He once drove his tractor two miles to plow his parent's city street to his own satisfaction. He shovels the roofs and knocks the snow off all the trees and basically ruins anything picturesque about the whole deal. But hey, whatever makes them happy.SmartAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219182373225762230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-80362778914791676082010-12-15T07:44:49.836-06:002010-12-15T07:44:49.836-06:00I think I could easily come around to your way of ...I think I could easily come around to your way of thinking - if the snow will just melt, why mess with it? Although, here, you need to start working on the snow right away, or you could get caught with more snow that you can deal with.<br /><br />We got our first real snow yesterday - 3-4 inches and no one even blinks. Too funny.<br /><br />Some areas near where I grew up in Southern Ontario have gotten upward of 100cm or 39+ inches of snow recently! Now that shut down schools and pretty much everything else!<br /><br />Stay warm... :-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-59887112606225310022010-12-15T05:54:00.068-06:002010-12-15T05:54:00.068-06:00We need a Jason around here!!
