I know what you are saying. I used to have a bunch of accounts in Minneapolis so I have seen real snow but come on...there is almost 4" of snow this morning in Texas! 2 days ago I was golfing without a jacket.
The old 1948 John Deere has thrown up some pretty good snow banks. Those two cylinder Waterloo engines really have torque. They just keep pushing even when you can count the cylinders firing. A simply gorgeous sound when working hard. There are lots of JD 2 cylinder Waterloo tractors working round here. Some are now 75 or more years old. John Deere still supply the parts, even for the original 1923 Model Ds and continue to train the parts people on the old Waterloo and Dubuque two cylinder tractors. I use the dealer in Grand Forks ND still, and they seem to know these tractors backwards at the parts desk. I think John Deere have a lesson to teach all manufacturers somehow.
We have the rest of February, March and April to go. The snowiest months here tend to be November, December, March and lately April. So the piles might get bigger.
Nice view of Benedict Lake.
In addition to clearing this lot, I keep next door clear and the place next to that, as well as a half mile of road. Where my private road, takes of form the Township road, I have to pile up big snow banks at the intersection, so the school bus can turn round. Apparently the Steamboat township does not have the funds to send out a front end loader as well as a grader to clear the township roads, so that part seems down to me. The bus got stuck Tuesday, as I did not get back from Eagan until 3.00 PM. I worked past dark and was working with the fore and aft floods on the Model A.
