    9" snow predicted. Thankfully a bit north of us. I kind of like looking at and walking on bare ground again. I can even drive the golf cart without getting stuck.

    High wind advisory today. So much for picking up scrounges today. On the bright side should get some good blow down scrounges next few days.

    That would not work in a farm field. Some types of tillage equipment go 18 inches deep depending on the hard pack.
    They would rip the lines right out of the ground.

    Yeah 5-9" here 35 mph winds. It's supposed to be done my 4 pm. There's already a good bit that had fallen as of 2 hours ago. And it's nowhere near done. Let's hope there's no more branches that break. This is super wet heavy snow. IMG_20230325_075258733.jpg

    I was really liking that I could just drive around in the yard with the tractor and have no worries of getting stuck. The sump pump also was barely running. Well, at least it's working.

    Yes, that tile is in a field. One has to be very careful but it will work.

    Just finished shoveling moms path. 4 houses on the path and I'm usually the only one shoveling it. From the yard to the car. Worst fault is the wind pattern here takes a 4" snowfall and puts a foot in the path.

    See how much is in my 400' driveway tomorrow morning...

    Pretty much. An occasional building. The Only trailer I own is a 40-ton removable gooseneck.

    the part that attaches to the truck detaches so you can drive your load on/off the trailer.

    68° outside gusts of 55 mph. Too dangerous outside to do anything.
