Heaps of it! Fluffy white stuff. Finally. It's still coming down. At last there might be enough to not only run the team, but actually stop them! Maybe even get a hook to hold so I can correct a few things or offer assistance! Although, they have got good at taking care of their own minor tangles!
The bad part of this lovely winter wonderland....it required that I plow the driveway and at least part of the yard. The gates don't work so well with snow build-up and those of you with huskies will know it doesn't take them long to figure out that they can get out! I was almost done, just a couple more passes in front of the shop, when the ATV made a very nasty noise and blue smoke came out! That's never a good sign. I think I dropped the tranmission!
The ATV is 24 years old, yes you read that correctly. It's an 84 Kawasaki Bayou. It's a workhorse of a machine and really it owes me nothing. But I can't afford a new one or even a new to me one and paying the bobcat guy 60 bucks an hour doesn't appeal to me all that much either! Although I am calling him in the morning! I sure hope Stuart can fix the ol' girl when he gets home! Too bad he's not home any time soon!

I feel your pain. My snowplow truck died recently. It's going into the shop tomorrow for what might be a huge bill, so I shovelled the whole driveway this morning - no need to go to the gym today!
Glad there is someone excited about snow...we had no power most of the night and early morning. Things were getting a wee bit chilly at -25'c. The visibilty is still nil and the good thing is the kids got a SNOW DAY and mom got to stay home from work. No point plowing yet as the system is still moving thru and as I watch Daisy (neighbor's dog) chase snow flakes I realize all dogs must love this white stuff just like you. Enjoy the stuff.
Hey Tamara - Let's fess up ---
With a few suggestions from Stuart;
YOU played Junior Assistant Wrench Turner and got the ole ATV **RUNNING** again!!
