Just finished doing round one of plowing. Still snowing though.

I use the truck for the bulk work and then use the tractor to clean up
once the sun comes out.

Can't you get those horses to pitch in and do some of that work?

Cool. Can you leave those cool lights on the truck without the plow?

Nope. It all comes off with the plow.

The older type plow setups *did* leave the plow frame and lights on the
truck. Only the plow itself came off. However, whatever government
agency in charge of such things mandated that the attachment frame also
has to come off. I think this was about 7 years ago. So now, there is
a receiver mounted under the front bumper (and bolted to the frame) that
the whole thing connects to.

You should put a bunch of lights on top also. And figure out a way to keep the plow lights. Do I see
a couple rifles in the rear window? Good on ya!

If you plow for hire you have to have a flashing yellow top light. I
don't plow for hire. The first year I had the plow I thought about it
because a guy who works for the Public Works Department in the next town
over said I would get $65/hr plowing for the town. They base the rate
on the size of your truck and plow. Thing is, all the "newness" and
"fun" of plowing quickly goes away. Now it's a chore just to do my
driveway.

Actually, I was thinking more along these lines:

Heck, I thought it was bad this morning as we had some frost on the roofs
and. Cars. Just finished refilling the pool after the repairs and turned
on the filter. Have to get Stabilizer now. Gym and then pool store.

One good thing weatherwise about he the damned grass goes into winter
hibernation in early December.

We are in severe drought so may not have lawn this summer.
