i got bored today

[Lenard]

so i decided to go drive around in the woods and see how deep the snow was in the trees 8)

and took some pictures for you all to enjoy....or hate :brows:

ya i know the snow don't look that deep, we have had close to a foot but its all been blown around and in 5' drifts.

Christmas eve night had about 1/2" of ice, then 3-4" of snow on top with major wind blowing it everywhere (you think it was Kansas around here with all the wind :rotfl2: ), 2 days later another 4" of snow, couple days of 30 degree weather and sunshine stuff started to melt down and settle a little, then it dropped to single digits and yesterday another 3" of snow, and more to come on Wednesday, AND this weekend we are supposed to have record lows, with wind chills of -30 :fs1: which is not common for this area. :rant:

Didn't have the camera with me, but I almost got in trouble in the Lake Huron snow belt last week in the Cherokee. Went to hike some on a rails to trails. No winter maintenance on the road to the trail head, but no real problems. Problem was I couldn't find a place to pull off the road, so I tested the snow on the trail. Jumped a few times, stomped my foot a few times, and it seemed solid ground under only 2" of snow. So I pull onto the trail to park...

 

...and immediately my front wheels fall thruogh the "solid ground" that was only a frozen crust on top of an additional foot of snow. So now I was sitting on the front axle with the crust lodged against the middle of the tires, and still 6" of fluffy stuff under the tire before anything solid.

 

Almost had to get the shovel out :oops:

That is about how it looks on our property, but with more drifts. Had to use the front end loaded to clear a path to the barn where the donor XJ rests.

 

Forecasting more blowing snow this week. Yay...
