It just keeps snowing. This is my fourth winter in my house, and this is the most snow we've had yet.
Every winter past, if I stopped on the back hill in my yard, I could get going again. Snow never got that deep. Well, today, I threw on my new 8" carbides, and then did a little test driving (of course). For kicks, I started slowing going thru my back yard, and, lo and behold, I got stuck, no problem!! We actually have enough snow to get buried really easy!!
We've gotten another 4" or so today, and another 6 is possible thru tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow morning (after I snowblow) I"m going to bury the wife's sled in the yard (since it has a better track and is harder to get stuck) and take a good picture.
I love snow!!

Must be nice. We still don't have enough to ride on. You see guys riding though. Just screwing up the trails which will never see a base the way it's going. I'm realy close to selling the sleds. Just not enough days in the year to get a good use out of them.

That sounds about right. I"m in Aurora, MN.

So here's how deep it is in my backyard. Hard to tell in the pic, but the snow is up to my crotch.

at least it is stuck close to home, I got my dad a folding shovel cuz he likes the 2 trax and goes up alone. We got stuck bigtime a few yrs ago, 16 inches overnight and already had 5 ft. that was at camp not in NW Ohio though. I am jealous.

Actually, it&#39;s pretty good with the 1" track and C&A skis. I had no trouble plowing thru the yard when I was trying. I slowed down to purposely get stuck, just to make sure it was deep.
Easy to get out, I just dragged it back 3 feet, got back on and hit the gas!!
