Finally some good winter weather. We had a forecast for snow and rain. Looks like we got over 30 cms in our area. It turned to rain around 10:30 am but it’s not a lot of rain and I am guessing we’ll have some snow left over this time around!
I had lots of fun plowing the driveway this morning and the snow was starting to get heavy. Fortunately this made for good traction so I never got stuck while trying to move the heavy wet snow. The little Snow Bear plow works wonders. Well worth it for someone with a truck. It’s a lot faster and easier then a snowblower and it’s also cheaper then most snowblowers out there. Having a roof, windshield, heater and cup holders makes it a lot nicer as well!
We cut a few holes in the ice yesterday. Between Conne River and Morrisville there is 12 – 14 inches of ice. Between Conne River and St. Alban’s it was around 5-7 inches. Someone actually drove to St. Alban’s across the ice in their truck the other night. Luck was with them moving that weight over so little ice. We drilled one hole near the tracks and the ice cracked underneath us. I got out of there in a hurry and let Rodger finish the drilling.
