A good days work

Recommended Posts

Woke up this morning to 5" of new snow with 1/2" of ice on top. After breakfast I fired up the D and hit three driveways. The snow thrower slowly ate through the heavy snow & ice. The chute clogged twice so I had to slow down some. The fourth driveway was a different story. My D has the power but not the traction. The drive is about 100' long and most of it is uphill. Thye D just will not grab, even with chains and wheel weights. So I had to resort to my Deere with the snow plow. At least it will go UP the drive so I can plow DOWN the drive. Once I broke up the snow with the plow and pushed it as far as I could (which wasn't too far) I was able to chew through the piles and throw that stuff where it belongs. Now, all three of my elderly neighbors can get out if necessary, All in all, it was a good day.

The snow in central pa was a bear today...so wet and sloppy under that thick sheet of ice. my chute clogged 5-6 times but got 5 driveways cleaned up. My 11 year old passed out flyers this fall to do driveways. He's the clean up shovel man for now since he can't lift the blower. He got a call today because the guy who plows the neighbor did not show up and when he does he takes 2 long swipes and leaves the neighbor 1/2 hr. of snow to shovel. He's learning the value of money and what it takes to make it!

We had about 2" of ice & snow. It was so hard to break through it and plow it.

When I got through it and down to black-top, my chains would spin on the asphalt, and this stuff was heavy!

No fun at all!
