Funny.

You'll never see one here, it would need to be the size of a tank. We often get 2 feet of wet snow in a few hours, you'd have to run the thing all day. Then there's the issue of the 4 to 6 foot piles you end up with on either side of the driveway. Once every few years the military hooks up the 8 wheel Armoured personnel carriers to the fire trucks with steel cables and drags the trucks to alarms.

Most of the major snowplowing in my area is now done with huge farm tractors with blades on front, dual wheels on the back. Downtown they use loaders to pick up the snow and truck it to the riverbanks. The piles at the malls are about 20 feet high now, although we are having days with temps above zero, everyone is busy making maple syrup. I went out and helped get one the Lions Club runs every year working. The snow in the bush is still knee deep, but I can see some grass out the front window.

At least our street is bare for the first time since November.

My design incorporates the kinda powertrain John needs.

This is what can happen to the project when your design partner is also a NASCAR engineer...

This was taken last week. The sun has removed the snow from the street.

Hey! Who'er those two good lookin' people staring back at the camera?

Mac. I'd love to see your version cleaning a sidewalk.

That would be me and the wife. Note she's holding me up. Also this might explain something to the southern folk who think we are crazy. If the temperature is one degree above zero we most likely take off our coats. So when we go south, and it's 50F we want to go swimming and tan. It was worse when I really lived up north. Shovel the snow off the roof. -45 most of the winter. Come south near Toronto and wear a tshirt in a snowstorm cause it's 60 degrees warmer but still snowing.

Last week I was complaining about a cold and windy rain here in NV. We had to hurry back to MI for my sister's funeral. When we got off of the plane, I suddenly remembered why we moved to sunny Las Vegas.

I got chilled and wet clearing another sister's driveway. Been blowing and hacking ever since, plus I passed it on to my wife.

I'll try my best to not complain about our weather again. At least not until it hits 120F.

Well in northern Virginia, we haven't had snow in almost a month now, but it was pretty weird yesterday with temps in the 60's and yet leftover snow on the ground. I've still got a few places in my yard where its an inch or two deep, but other places (where the sun shines directly) where it's grassy. Temperatures the last few days have been swinging about 20-30 degrees between nighttime and daytime. 30-35 at night; 50-60 during the day. I'm ready for Spring.

Love the Mini John - thought you meant mini van.

Used to drive the 60s version (an Austin 850) of that there auto . . . a woody wagon yet! Real wood and turquoise paint. I could out corner any of the greasers at school. The tires were even smaller than yours. Wrote the vehicle off when I hit a curb at 15mph - front tires would go up and over the cement - impact bent the snout down and drove the wheels back into the wells.

Mini and PT Cruisers - my fav cars.
We got less snow than you as of today - was sitting outside drinking coffee yesterday - temp 10 degrees over zero. Driest mildest winter in Canada on record since 1947 - still we do get snow in March and April.

I shouldn't have said anything.

Two hours after posting, we had a band of snow showers move through. o.O

Wow, John that is incredible! -45??? I have a difficult time when it is +45. More power to you!

Hey Don, don't worry. I am told it is a DRY heat!

And GDaddy, don't brag too hard. In about a month you are going to have 1,000% humidity where the air will be so thick you will be able to see it as you breathe!

Mac, your machine looks like it was built by Tim the Toolman Taylor! **More Power... AURGH AURGH AURGH!

Cheers!

Russ,

That was awesome !! I can relate to the "back ache" just watching him shovel the stuff, LOL.

John,

I bet that car would be a hoot to drive around on an icey road, lol. Drifting in the North !!!!

BTW, it is mid 60's here. The rain cleared the skies and it is absolutely gorgeous outside.

It was 43F here today and we were in the tshirts. Awesome.

The mini is the first fun car of my life. I cannot believe it yet. What a hoot. 30 mph see a corner, don't slow down just turn. No squeal, no drift, just smack you did it. BMW is involved. We looked and looked, and if you ever actually touch the car, the hood, the fenders you realize you have something of real quality. The other cars felt like tin.

I was going to go Rav 4, because they build them up the road, but...

And ain't the wife a looker? OK so I'm biased. She's all freaked out about having a 50th birthday soon. She looks 30 to me but love is blind.
