The weather is always changing, so it seems that we are in a cycle of sorts taking us into cooler winters, with slightly more snow. This spring I got a deal from my tractor dealership for a 2-stage pto-powered snow-thrower that mounts on my tractor. I have not used it yet. But it is supposed to cut a 4-foot wide path and throw the snow over 40-foot.
The deepest snow 'dump' we have seen in the past 5 winters has been 14 inches. Nothing like the storms we read about down in the snow-belt.
A little snow is not so bad, so long as you never have to touch a shovel
The local culture here is highly focused on the use of sleds. The entire state is criss-crossed with a network of sled trails. Traffic flows much faster on sled then it does on pavement, and the trails are more direct than the roads are.
