Growing up in southern MN farm country my first cousin once removed had a 3/8th mile driveway running east/west that was notorious for snow. You have a very long driveway. How many km?

Its a half mile driveway. Not sure what that is in km but its the full length of a quarter section.

Took the drone up last night and flew it for a bit just before sundown. Lots of ripples across the fields now. We got about a foot maybe a little more here as well.

Did you keep some livestock? I thought you sold all of the cows. You can keep all of that snow up there. LOL We are going to get down into the single digits this weekend. Hope to be all ready. Been cleaning and checking all of the cattle waterers. Nothing worse than one of them froze up when it is below zero. Keep safe out in that snow and cold. None of us are as nimble as we used to be. I find that I fall a lot quicker than I used too. LOL

I hear you on damaged digits getting cold. My shortened thumb gets cold really easy. Good luck blowing snow, I put one blower inside so it doesn't freeze down, I hope I don't need it.

It's funny how i think. When i look a the thermometer, I check it in Celsius. When i measure something, i use the imperial system. And when I'm dealing with temperatures on engines, i always use Fahrenheit. I did go to school with the metric system but go build something and its all iches and feet lol.

I was fully educated in the imperial system so it was total conversion for me to learn metric. We have a hybrid system in this country. Crops sprayed in litres per acre. Crop yields in bushels per acre. Fuel bought by the litre but like to know how many miles per gallon or gallons per hour. And on it goes..

@JDseller1 6 күн бұрын
I hate fighting the blower and blade on in cold weather. So I had my front mounted blower mounted on my tractor at the end of Sept. I do not use that tractor in the fall so that works out well. I usually do not put the tire chains on until after harvest. I may need the tractor pull out stuck wagons if it gets too muddy. With the dry fall we had I put the chains on a few weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if I even need the blower. The last two year we have not had enough snow to even blow.
