Let it snow let it snow
Ducati996,
I like your pics, but my problem is that they 'load' automatically, seriously slowing my dial-up connection.
If you could just post the links that would be fine by me...
I hope this method of posting pics, though innovative, does not become an epidemic. The problem I see is there is no limit to the size of the file that is linked. I've viewed hundreds of pics posted by the members, but I've always had an option to not view them.
Have fun in the snow,
bliz

Let it snow let it snow
Just some notes..
After one of the driest January's on record, we're finally going to get some appreciable snowfall. Yesterday I hooked up the blower and gave the drive a couple of passes to clear off Tuesday's 2" . Brrr.. 16F and 20MPH winds with a little blower dust sure chills the face fast. Anyway, the blower worked great, much better than in the December slush. Gravel is now frozen up solid, and I have removed almost all the loose stones so I had no shear-pin problems either. The drive runs close (10-20') to the power lines for about 150 feet, and with the chute at maximum elevation snow was hitting the 7000 Volt feed line. I lowered the chute for the next pass!
A little chain and cable lube on the nylon chute bearing and the hand crank supports made operation much easier.
Blower is a Puma64, was able to clear 12' wide drive all to one side and drop snow 10-15' away.
I can see the advantage of a cab, just can't justify the cost yet.
PS -- Added some Winter specific pics 13-20 if anyone is interested.

Tom,
Just adding a little FYI for all readers...
If you must leave a vehicle involved in an 'electrical event', jump with your feet together and hop or shuffle to a safe distance. You must be completely clear of the vehicle before your feet (together) touch the ground. The idea is to keep any electrified part of the body at the same potential, hence the ankles/feet together at all times.
Good idea about ski mask modification. Snowmobile anti-fog paste works to a limited degree, but soon absorbs so much moisture it turns to ice. Somewhere I have an old full-face MC helmet, have to try it out.
