Getting ready for Snow
Joel's on track, literally. I pack it down by driving on it to get it nice and solid where ever the rocks are. It's best to let it freeze if you can, then let the new snow fall before you plow. The ruts will fill up and you'll have a solid base keeping the rocks in place. For those places that do get rocks over the year, I use a power broom that has a slow-turning, rubber-bladed drum on a weed-trimmer style handle. Shindaiwa, Echo and Stihl make them.

Take h-u-m-i-d-i-t-y, add below f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g air temperatures and there you have it.
brrrrrrrrr
But I gotta tell ya's, this will be the first year in 8 that I won't be plowing... snow, that it is. Sold it when I was in 'sippi. Now I can sleep in instead of waking at 2:30 waiting for snow. And I don't have to worry anymore about phone calls from angry (and stupid) customers who get their Corvettes stuck in 8" snows getting to their store (true story). And besides it has only snowed about 3-5 times each season here for the past 5 years anyway, so there's not much to plow anyway (read: can't pay bills).

Getting ready for Snow
Broken, I've been back since early March. When I left it was 73 degrees and sunny there. However when I got home two days later it was 10 degrees and we got 4 inches of fresh snow. But that was okay though becuase I sold my sno plow since I was expecting to stay there---until the money ran out down there. People say to me, "But there's all kinds of work down there isn't there". Yes there is, if you either do it for free or don't want top get paid!
BTW, my buddy has a 1998 LX665 skid steer with steel tracks, a grapple bucket and a regular bucket for sale for $10,000. Just need your address!
