Yes I remember. Didn't make it in to work, no way could deliver mail in that.

Took me about 2 hours to get the first pass made up to the county road with my snowplow pickup. Driveway is only about 150 yards long to the county road.

Ground wasn't froze up solid, so if you got off to the side you broke through the little frost cap straight down to mud.

My IH1066 was helpless in that much snow. The loader took too much weight off the rears, the bucket was shot, just had bale spear on it.

My Ford 5000 row crop was somewhat better, at least I was able to use it to "unstick" the pickup. The locking differential makes a big difference and the tires are much better than on the 1066. It still wouldn't hold a candle to the pickup for moving snow.

I spent all day and until about 11:30 PM in the pickup to "just" do about 5 driveways besides my own. All were "must do" for all different reasons. Had to gas back up twice, went through about 35 gallons in the 16 hours I was in that pickup. No way was I going to let it get too low on fuel.

Had to have a friend of mine just basically sit and watch in his 4x4 pickup for all the times I would get ever so slightly off the edge of a driveway into the mud and be stuck again.

I hope "never again". I grew up in Nebraska, so have seen plenty of snow. But it makes a big difference if the ground is frozen solid. That was my biggest problem with this snow.

I also did live in Parker, Colorado when they got a 54 inch snow. It was not as crippling as this snow. I was actually able to report to work in that one. DOUG

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
