Spring snow storm...

For once the weather service got it right, they predicted 6-10" of snow and that's pretty much what we got.

It's hard to tell exactly how much fell, cause there was mixed rain and snow at times and the temps were above freezing during the day, so it probably settled a lot.

The only good thing was that we just had a short power outage, maybe an hour or so. The last time we had a late snow storm like this, it knocked out the power for a couple of days.

Wasn't going to plow, but there was still lots o' snow around this afternoon after the storm ended, so wound up plowing the road and driveway. Since the road surface was thawed, had to keep the rear blade up slightly, off the ground, and angled as much as possible to keep it from digging into the soft gravel road bed. I think it'll be better than before clearing, since at least the water should run in the ditches now. I expect the neighbors'll let me know if it's not to their liking. But one thing's for sure, I'm glad I didn't take the chains off the tractor back in March after finishing the road clearing back then.
