Blowing snow in blizzard conditions. Upper Michigan snowstorm!

We had our first real snow for the winter right before Christmas. I needed to get my driveway open and also clear a big drift from my neighbors drive. Winter weather is just another part of Life in the 906! #uppermichigan #snowstorm snowstorm #Kubota

[@campbenny]

Nice Kubota buddy ! Good for you on keeping the driveway cleared for your wife. 👍🏻 Take care !

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thank you sir. It's been a great tractor. She really appreciated the snow being taken care of when she got home from a 12 hr midnight shift.

You have some fine equipment Mike. Keep the lady safe

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thank you.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Glad you have the equipment to handle that weather . I know your neighbor appreciated you coming over and doing that !!

[@Lifeinthe906]

She does most of her own snow removal but when the drifts get that deep she calls.

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Nice of you to help your neighbor, we didn’t hardly get any snow south of Ann Arbor

[@Lifeinthe906]

I think we got all the snow up here! Thanks for watching Oldtimer.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Great job!

Thank you.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Nice blower on the tractor, you can move a ton of snow with that. Alway nice to help out people. We got lucky with that storm, we had the wind but the snow did not drift much.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Larry. I didn't here the total of snow we got. But whatever it was the wind was pretty crazy.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

The Kubota made quick work of those driveways! I bet you were saying to yourself the whole time “I’m glad I have a cab“👍🏻👍🏻-TOA

[@Lifeinthe906]

I sure was Todd. The cab on the tractor makes snow removal so enjoyable!!

[@outsideinmichigan]

Hi Mike we didn’t get it to bad down here with that storm. I had to use the snowblower but mine you have to walk behind. I love it when the snow blows back into my face. Said no one ever. Take care bud.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Yep snow in the face makes ya wanna move south!

[@scubatraveler100]

You put out great videos. Your relaxed ways make watching your videos so much more enjoyable. 👍

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Rick. I really appreciate that.

[@keithmueller2857]

Wow! That nice tractor with the fancy cab and that nice blower takes all the fun out of moving snow. You gotta miss the wind and snow in your face !

[@Lifeinthe906]

Haha. I don't miss it one bit. Thanks Keith.

[@CharleyThePlumber]

Got a nice drift there, momma will be happy

[@jimbo5056]

That Kubota sure chewed thru those drifts and snow. Right tool for the right job I guess. That was descent of you helping out your neighbor clearing her drive. I know a walk behind could have eventually opened it but in those winds??? Hope ya got some Xmas cookies out of it.😄🎁

[@Lifeinthe906]

She is very independent but ever now and again she calls for help.

[@outdoorsinthe608]

That snowblower really blows the snow! Great job Mike👍👍

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Jeremiah

[@billl9175]

Love watching anything from the UP... I lived in Iron Mountain in the mid 80's and sure do miss it up there!!!! BTW what's with the Packer's flag?? ha ha Thanks!

[@ddouglasscott]

Yeah hey Mike that road does look crazy, you must be off 28? I have family in Chatham/rock river Trenary and rudyard The wind was blowing so hard before Christmas I thought for sure that we were going to lose power but luckily we never did! 😅🌬💨

[@Lifeinthe906]

That is actually 41 South. I lost power twice Christmas eve.

[@Living-The-Dream]

Great neighbor you are Mike !!I’m sure moving those drifts was much appreciated. Important to have the right equipment for the job. Hope you better half made it home ok! Stay warm up there buddy ❄️🔥🚜👍👏🇺🇸 Rick

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Rick. Yep she got in no problem.

[@dozerbigboy908]

I'm so glad I got the cab on my kabota .imagine how bad that would suc without it. Ya know in those small towns people are gonna talk with you coming out of the neighboors drive at 6am while wifes at work lol good video mike.springs coming

[@Lifeinthe906]

The cab is awesome for the winter! 4 short months spring will be here

[@mikeheilman2560]

Nice video Mike, we don't see you too much moving snow. Be safe and enjoy your week.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Mike.

[@906sisu5]

As a fellow yooper, Christmas Eve got wild. I transitioned down to just keeping the firehall and manor open in case of emergency. I don't know if any firefighters could have made it, but the hall was open.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Yep it got a bit crazy.

[@markpro96]

When you live in the 906 you need some serious equipment and you have it brother! I remember that weekend well. Was even a nasty one down here in WI. Thanks for the video, enjoyed!

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Mark. The wind was crazy and persistent for at least 24 hrs

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice equipment! Making snow fly while warm & dry. I have not experienced that, just a loader here.

[@Lifeinthe906]

The heated cab is so nice. Both in summer and winter. Thanks Larry

[@KillingerUSA]

Man that blower is nice!!!!

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Chris.

[@danbentsen]

Looks like snow blower is pretty much a must have in your area. My old man grew up in Minnapolice . When I was a kid I remember him talkin about not missin the snow & cold of winter , he met mom in Yellowstone park after war, she saw what winter was like in Minnasota they decided to raise their family in willamette valley w/45 " of rain a year, old man said he didn't mind rain as much as snow & cold of winter in Minn.

[@Lifeinthe906]

I always say I'll take snow over rain any day. Thanks Dan.

[@chrismoore9402]

That’s awesome. What part of the 906? We spend summers in the Detour, Drummond area absolutely love it up there.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Chris. I'm in Marquette county.

[@firewoodathome]

Like the front mount blower.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks . I really like it although sometimes I miss having the loader on the front.

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

awesome video, send some of that down state. people down here would think the world is coming to a end with snow like that, makes me laugh. they wouldn't know what to do. i'd give anything to have a big storm down here, love winter. wish i was up at camp

[@Lifeinthe906]

Did you get much snow down your way around Christmas?

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

Nope maybe 2 inches we had 45-50 mile winds just blew it all around been in mid 50’s ever since

When I was a lot younger I used to wish I lived in the U. P. area but now that I’m older and hopefully wiser I’m thankful that never happened cause I would be yet another person out snow blowing and or shoveling all that snow just like you.😅

[@Lifeinthe906]

Moving snow is definitely part of life here in the UP!

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

What part of upper Michigan? I live in Hurley Wisconsin across the river from ironwood Michigan. yeah the storm during Christmas with pretty decent. I have most definitely seen worse though...

[@eldonjenkins551]

I have never figured why people have the end of there blower shooting snow up in the air. The end of my shoot blows the snow back toward the ground away from where i have plowed. Has a lot less snow blowing back in my face. I have no cab and 3/8 mile driveway. But it's your video and I like to watch others Stay Safe

[@Lifeinthe906]

The angle of my blower is set at a higher angle to put the snow farther from the driveway. I don't worry about snow in my face with the cab on my tractor. Thanks for watching Eldon.
