I plowed the driveway with the bobcat. Very heavy crap for a shovel. But, it cleans up nicely with the bucket. Better than usual. It packs really well.

I was surprised at how well the blower did with the heavy snow. I thought it was going to be slushier than it was.

A skid steer would be nice!

We push ours with a Bobcat at home too. Not a bad job with the door shut and heat on! We still only have an inch or so here in Crookston...

Let guess, you turn the radio on too? Lol!

Jake, it sounds like Fargo got plenty of snow in this storm. Wahpeton Breckenridge area got hit pretty good too.

As a matter of fact Chris, I do!

I have family in Wahpeton and Fargo, and have been in touch with them. Yeah, have lots of snow, but I think Bemidji takes the cake. They have 5"-6" today and are "expected" to get 15" tonight.

Good evening guys.

Plowing done here. Almost not worth the fuel though, just about 2" of new.

It may be a "drive your truck to work" day tomorrow... If for nothing else but to feel a little safer with all the morons on the road in the morning.

Hey, I can think of MANY days where that would have been nice.

Of course, I remember many a night plowing snow in a Bobcat with PLASTIC "windows" and no heat. Not so good on nights where it is below zero.

I think some models have them... Ours doesn't. There is some sort of butt vent behind the seat though that blows a little hot air. Not quite heated seats, but better than farting your rear warm...

Good evening everyone. It stopped snowing late this morning and never started back up. It started raining a little before 5:00pm. Driving tomorrow morning is going to SUCK!

I'm guessing we got a total of about 3" of pure slush. The end of our driveway is pretty much a lake.

Evening guys.

I wish I had a bobcat!

That snow is some heavy crap! My lower back is sore! Got my driveway shoveled and of coarse the plow comes by and and plows the end of the driveway back in. He did that twice!

I really need to get my snowblower fixed!!

Days like today are what makes me want to set up my 54 project with a plow.

Lynn and I put about 16 miles on the sleds. Trails are pretty rough overall but it was nice to see her out again. It's been quite a few years.

Still just a really light mist here. Maybe 3" of snow.
