dealing with snow??

We play in it. Snowmobiling and showshoeing are fun!!

Seriously, though, we also use a skidsteer. If it's really a lot of snow, we get out the old giant Dynahoe that has a huge bucket on it and move it that way. Our driveway is about 2,000 feet with a couple of hills. Everything we own is 4 wheel drive.

Consumer debt is evil incarnate and I've always avoided it. Nope, no debt. Very minimal expenses, I am for intents and purposes retired. Getting too worn out for constant heavy manual labor and too old for anybody to hire me as a beginner at desk job. Too young to be a greeter at Wallyworld, LOL....

I dare say that I (with a few others) live in one of the snowiest places of people on this board.

Our driveway is shorter. We drive on TOP of the snow (since our road is a designated snow machine trail and we would literally have a foot of packed height difference if we kept the driveway down to gravel) until it's got a good base. We then use a four wheeler with a plow. I just got that at the end of this last winter though. My neighbor kid brought his four wheeler over and plowed periodically with it. It worked wonderfully. I was impressed with it's capability to plow actually.

Plus, I use the four wheeler year round for work and pleasure.
