Here we go again. We have had over 50cm of snow in the last 3 weeks and supposed to get 20-40cm today. Going to spend the morning fixing the snowblower it needs new belts and hook the plow back up on the atv.

Ice is a pain. Last winter we had the winter of slop. We would get snow then rain then snow and more rain. Just a mess.

Last winter was a tough one b/c of those patterns. When the snow finally melted, there was a 7" thick ice pack underneath that took FOREVER to melt. As the ice softened, I'd bust up the edges and flip them onto the bare lawn area,

The sun will be up I about an hour then the work begins. There is a I foot snow drift out side our door. I cant see the chicken coop or the turkeys coop so they are well buried. While there is a big drift between our door and the barn there is no snow buildup by the barn so at least that wont need to be shoveled. I wonder if I can find the snowblower in all of this? Not that it will be very helpful with 9-10 foot high drifts lol. Once the winds die off it will be great sliding conditions for the kids.
