No snow here, but freezing rain made a mess of things. I ca hardly walk to the garage it's so slippery. No driving for me- here's a pic of a Subaru that rolled right in front of our property. No injuries. There were almost 2 more wipeouts while I was helping her unload her stuff out of the Subie.

Rollin'! This worked pretty well - just narrow enough I didn't bounce off too many trees. Got hung up a couple of times but didn't have to disconnect it, just shovel. My wife says she wants to ride on it, so I put a seat back there.
Gonna have to switch from hip boots to chest waders - went in the snow over top a few times this evening. And it's snowing hard still.

Nice snow coverage in North Georgia. Unfortunately no Jeep pictures.

This is about as close to snow as you get in New Orleans, more of an ice but pretty cool at the same time.
Suppose to "snow" all night and into tomorrow... the whole city has literally shut down.

Panking? Took pics today but it is so much of a white-out they ain't much. Plus I was stuck several times and I'm getting tired of that - don't need a reminder :) All four chains went great on the way out, not so much on subsequent trips with the crust apparently broken. Didn't even get to use the roller - I couldn't get to the house to get it and could hardly pull the drag anyhow.
 
Ok, just a couple... The first, I am not liking the look of things and the lack of trees for the winch. There is an eagle sitting in the trees though. The second is stuck again by the house after getting the drag hooked up.

"Panking" is an old yooper term for packing down snow...they used to pank down snow on the city streets with horse drawn rollers.
 
Wow...way to pull that one out of MO. I though Da Yoopers was a regional thing...

This might be a dumb question. Doesnt your Jeep weigh more than the roller? If so, the tires are packing the snow more than the rollers. So, if you drive the road a few times it would do a better job. The tires are in front of the roller packing first.

Good question! The idea is to pack the snow firm, then let it freeze. The jeep tires kind of cut it up into ruts, or if I'm real good and drive exactly in the old tracks, you get one 12" wide hard packed part. The rollers are 24", which gives me a chance to drive all over within that width and pack it. Otherwise the jeep slides off into the deep soft stuff at the sides. Also, being solid "tires", all the weight falls on a wide but short contact patch and packs fairly well due to reasonably high psi. If I can ever get ahead of the snowfall, I'll add weight to the roller and get serious about "panking".
