Well we got about a foot of snow in the past 24 hours. Wind was up, so there are a few drifts around to bust through. Fired up the Belarus and got about four good hours in. A couple of places was really socked in, but finally the tractor won! I took a couple of pictures if anyone wants to have a peek.

Its been warm and wet since hurricane Irena Lost some corn because of mud We just cant get in the field to harvest without making a mess, we are make tracs a ft deep wth tractors. Bottoming out chopper. and combine. I had to hire a few hands to hand pick 8 ac of corn before the deer got it. Pulling a picker or chopper w/ wagon loaded in this mud You better have a puller tractor and chain handy. I have never seen it this wet and my dad says he cant reember a yr like this ,He is 75yrs old.

In the 30's-40's last 2 days in central Maine. I saw 5 robins on the way home from work today. We shouldn't see robins here until mid March. The weather is all messed up. Warmer than normal.

Back celebrating my victory over the snow devils. Enjoying my bare driveway as one of the spoils of war! Boy was it wet and HEAVY. They put up a good fight and had a wicked defense, compressing itself into ice as soon as I made contact. But was soon overwhelmed by my 9000lbs Bulldog. There is much weeping and sorrow in the snow devils' camp, as they in shame, turned themselves to rain. As you can see in the pictures, the snow stays in the same shape as the blade.

Looks like the snow banks are starting to grow finally.

Could there be snow blower in the future for the Bobcat.

Rain started in heavy last night, we got 1.75 inches so far. Temps are up to 48F, wind gusts up to 62mph. The snow is taking a bad beating! Here are a couple of pictures I just took, compare them to the ones I posted Friday.

I can't believe it, we got another 2.5" of rain again today! Boy did I ever tick off the snow gods, they're taking back all the snow we had. Must make amends, maybe hid the Bulldog for a little while! Calls for flurries this weekend, we shall see.

Not much snow

It's been a crazy winter! Late start to it here, but it did come.... for a while.



It's been nothing but freeze an thaw here most of the winter. Only cleared the drive once or twice, but with the weather the way it is everything turns to glare ice.

I've decided to stop clearing snow, unless it's too deep to drive the truck through. Saves my poor old butt as my feet don't tend to shoot out from under me any more!

Hey Greg, do you have the "8 centimeter/ get it off the roads in 24 hrs" rule as they do in some areas? My wife worked in Public works and was deligated to the snow removal program in the winter.... which meant callouts, dispatch and all kinds of stuff. I think it lead to her early retirement, as the general public in that area were brutal. Since her retirement, we haven't seen that much snow! go figure!

Got about 3 inches or so today. Most of the snowing looks to be done, but still flurrying.

The region I plow is to the south of me an we would have the roads clean from curb to curb , once the snow stops within hours. They also use a salt/brine combo. The township road I live on uses sand and the 5-6 mile drive to the highway can be fun, as I leave before it gets done. I have winter tires all around on the Ranger.
