Winter Snow and Storm Pics

Well now that the grass is growing I guess I need to put one of the decks on. We ended up getting 2 "major storms" One was actually pretty good we ended up with about 14 inches of light fluff, on top of 5" of MUD. Used the walk behind because the second the blower on the tractor cleared the snow the front wheels sank!  Only got the walk behind stuck 8 times! Cleared to both doors, around the parking pad and decided God could take care of the rest. Next day after the storm, it got up to 40 then 50 and in 3 days the snow was gone, and the mud was even worse!!  Got another 4 inches of heavy wet crap about 2 weeks later and it was mostly gone in a couple days. The local snowmobile club actually got to complete 1 run up to the bowling alley, then they took all the trail signs down. Most of the clubs only had a week of open trails. 
Now I just need the ambition to get the other tractor back together. Pulled it apart to track down some leaks. Gave it a good cleaning and got most of them. Trying to decide if I want to replace the rubber fuel lines with stainless or NiCopp and tidy up the rats nest of wiring the previous owner left me...

Hi Steve, I hope you've been well, apart from the snow/mud fest!  Some pics of that carnage would have been good here!

I've used Copper-Nickel for brake line quite extensively, it's the only way to go.  So nice to work with, bends and flares easily and no corrosion worries.  Stainless is hard and difficult.  The Copper-Nickel will outlast all of us, it's great stuff.  I wish all cars used it for factory brake line versus the steel that always rusts away.

I sure hope that it does not snow any more this season. I took off my Winter tires and wheels off the 102 and mounted on the Ag tires in getting ready for spreading around the new stone. I'm trying not to snap any more axles, and those two link chains and 156 pounds of wheel weights will do it.
This 3/4 stone spreads around nicely. I should have an ample supply of stone.

It started to drizzle and I called it quits for now. Tomorrow is supposed to be a nicer day.

Dave, this is supposed to be a Winter thread so I'm waiting to get chewed out by Tom.
Wife not satisfied. :roll:

I got rid of the pop-up years ago, now have a larger travel trailer.  I don't see full hook-ups, so I'll have to pass!  I'm less keen on boondocking, I like comfort!  Lol

Ken, your driveway is always star of the show for the winter thread, it's welcome at anytime, no chewing out!

I think Ken just got the additional 15 tons because it was so satisfying spreading out the first load.  He's just looking for more seat time!

Joe!
Don’t tell Dag he had a good idea, it’ll make his brain swell and he won’t be able to get his helmet off when the cartoons are over. :mrgreen:

B.M :) ......youll be glad to know I strapped my helmet on before I went out to catch snow flakes with my tongue this morning. Only had a few flurries so i was running around like a mad man. The frozen flag pole was very temping...but i remember the last time, I couldn't taste food for weeks after that. :oops:

Sounds like my area, north of me got 2 feet south got over a foot, the protected valley I'm in got enough that if I lay the shovel down and kick the snow over it from a 10 foot radius, I can almost cover it!
