    We had some ice in CT today. Pretty nasty out right now on the untreated surfaces.

    Sounds exactly like something I would say and do.

    And it won’t go anywhere for a bit. Next round of above freezing temps arrive early next week.

    Another round in VT this weekend. For the record, I’ve never used the quad in February to move wood; or in general. It’s usually tucked away for the winter. We’ve owned the property up there for 15 years in March. Such a strange winter. We ran errands Saturday afternoon in Keene, NH and I was walking around outside with nothing but a hoodie and jeans; my wife had to change to a lighter weight jacket.

    Pics from Saturday morning:

    Took the sleds out today just to get them to move a little bit and run some two stroke through the engines. Trails are mint! LOL!

    We call that stuff you are rinding on “snirt”! Incoming snow on Tuesday!

    Totally! A nice mix of snow, dirt and organic matter.

    I have owned a garden tractor for years and this winter is the first winter I have had it out and been using it. Strange year indeed.
