Pictures of snow

A couple of pictures of the big snowstorm here. Had this drift in front of the machine shed door that I had to break thru before I could start cleaning the driveway. Finally broke thru and got the doorway cleaned out then started on the drive. Too deep to drive thru, had to push backwards to work it off to the side. Tried to drive thru one time, went about 15' and was stuck. Shoveled out a wheel tracks and backed out. Township plow came by about noon, had to back up and take a couple of runs to get thru some of the drifts. He stopped on the way back by and said not to try to go east until the maintianer goes by to clean it out. He went by about 3:15 and came back by an hour later. The wife has to work tonite, left way early to get there before dark, she called and said Muscatine(IA) was a ghost town, she had never seen so much snow everywhere.

Not sure why, this site only lets me post 2 pictures at a time.One picture is my driveway after I got cleaned out, the other is the road in front of the house after the truck plow went by. TV weather said Moline(ILL) had 18.4" snow. I'm READY for spring!!! Chris

I had to do a job in Elgin yesterday and have to go back tomorrow. Took me three hours to get from Elgin to park the company truck in Joliet, and since I'm the on-call guy, they tried to call me out about 9:00 last night. By then the company truck was buried. Illinois is a nice place and I used to live here, but I would prefer to be home with my family, where they are buried in now, but have power, heat, and plenty of food. They figure they can dig out with snow blowers, but I told them today to jump start the Deere nearest the barn door, back it out and drop the blade and back blade it backwards for the most part so can't get stuck, then touch up with a snow blower afterwards. If they stall it out, what the heck, put a coffee can over the stack and I'll deal with it when I get home Friday night. Nope, afraid to use a tractor. Gonna keep after it with snow blowers. Could do it with a back blade in an hour of so.
