    Yea more snow is coming again tonight. The ice is still so hard we can still walk on top of it.. I am glad he finally gave up. ... We have to put his truck in 4wd to get it out. You would think its easy since it looks flat- but thats drifting snow covered in a inch of ice.
    This spring we will regrade the driveway. As you know, its really not bad but it wont work with the van. We both didn't want a 4wd drive because of the reduced gas mileage, and the van really doesnt have to leave. Also the price for a 4wd new one was like 10 grand more. Only damage is a bent antenea from when that ice chunk blew off a truck in town last weekend. ( don't worry 'tanker' ( the van), Mom will fix your antenea... lol)

    Get a 4-wheeler with a plow.

    More fun, and it doesn't abuse the truck's frame and suspension.

    A plow on a truck REALLY beats the crap out of the truck. Even when the plow isn't mounted the extra weight of the plow frame attachments are bad for the suspension.

    Good idea- we were talking about getting a multi purpose plow etc because of other jobs up here- like moving stone, river rock etc..

    Which LH is better than Michelle beating Darrel with the plow!

    I agree though my son in law has attachment thing on his Jeep and it really does take a beating from it but it makes him good side money!
