I know that it's getting close to taking my plow off. Converted from jeans to shorts this weekend. God I love Arizona.

I was up in the Chicago burbs for the last couple of weeks, just in time to catch the 5th largest snowfall on the books, 19+". And I got to shovel every bit of it by hand. It's great exercise, not sure what all you guys are whining about? BTW, 68 here today.

I was the same way when I went from a push mower to a riding mower.

I have never used one in Aus, but I understand you can do this with one.

Wow. I can't believe this thread has been renewed...

I guess with all the bad weather in the northeast right now, everyone is searching for snow moving ideas.

Joe, I'm searching for ME moving ideas. Cause I know the snow isn't going anywhere.
This is one of the coldest, snowiest winters I can remember since the 70's. We have not had a day above freezing since the first week of January and most mornings have been in the single digits. For example, it's 5 degrees right now, more snow coming this afternoon and even more coming on Sunday. I don't have a driveway anymore, it's more like a tunnel from the road to the door.
Anyone in the southern states got a spare room available till May 1st??

Hey AUS, I've lost count over the years of how many times plow truck drivers have intentionally packed snow around cars. Most towns here have parking bans during storms and the folks that don't move their cars can almost expect that to happen if you have the type of vehicle that can't be easily towed. Half the plow drivers I've known have been a bit crazy including a few that have downright nasty.

Tom

4-wheeler snow plow

Some friends of mine were making fun of the 4' snow plow for our 4-wheeler. Ha! Never underestimate a Honda.

I maintain a fleet of 35 plow trucks, 8 front end loaders with 20ft pusher boxes, and 15 salt spreaders. All the trucks are one ton fords and up, and yes the drivers are the biggest problem. The winter we had last year better not repeat.

No truer words spoken
