Nice...looks like you have some decent snow...we have at least 36" here on the level.

Sometime we'll have to meet, I get over to DI a few times a year.

I don't know that we have quite that much, except in the drifts. Come to DI anytime - plenty of room to stay here.

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".

Thanks. Weigth in the rollers would make sense. Gotcha.

Stopped for this pic when I was on my way to meet Racin Rudy for the first time in the middle of my trip down to Cincinnati for the day.
 
In Deep!
Shoveled in a half-mile to the jeep project. Looks like another day's shoveling to get to the garage.

Haha. Those are the yard jeeps tho so I don't care too much about them. But yes I do need a bigger place !

It's dumping copious amounts of fluff on us now. 26 degrees. Yesterday was almost 50.

Took the TJ out for some fun on Saturday. Did not do very well at all in the heavy, wet snow. Spent most of the time getting towed lol

THAT'S AWESOME! I have had quite a few Meyers.

I'm on my 3rd Meyers plow, my father had 2 before me. I probably won't buy another one. I had to have some dealings with their customer service about a recall on my current plow. It wasn't good, a total jerk that had no business in a customer service job. Others on a snow plowing forum had the same type/lack of service from this same individual...and he's the head person to deal with at Meyer.
