The "fun" part didn't last long. Plowing can be a pain in the ass, especially when there's a foot or more of it following several storms. After a while you can't plow because there's no place to push the snow. I'd have to fire up the JD tractor and move it around with the front end loader. Nice now. If there's a storm coming, I just stock up on coffee, food and the essentials and watch out the window as the hired, younger guys with trucks and plows do the driveway. |

They are going in a week or less down here. The one across from me went the first day it was listed. I guess all of those folks up there are getting tired of SALT, the stuff on the road and the stuff that comes out of their wallet. |

Got there at 0200hrs in the morning after getting stuck at least once on the old road leading in. Inside it was frost everywhere...even on the blankets. This was mid February. No electricity...only an old stove oil type heater and the line was frozen. My BVI buddy gave up after an hour and threw himself under the frost covered blankets. i kept at it until i had the stove working. |

Ever been to Albany? The one winter I lived in the area, we had one huge snowstorm after another. During one, a city or county dump truck with a plow went down the hill on the main drag through downtown and slid right into the Hudson River. Driver was rescued. |
