PA Snow/Ice storm

[Scouts Out]

I guess my trip to Kansas was to get me ready for this, we got 4 inches of snow, then rain for about 2 hours then 4 more inches of snow. This was me trying to get in to my H3 this morning, had to chip the ice from the door...

We got a couple inches with the ice.The roads are ice.
I got the day off,my wife got 1/2 day and stoped by the parking lot near our house to do some donuts in the parking lot on the way home.
Gotta love her

Heading down to FLA leaving this mess behind.

My neighbor is nuts about snow, plows his drive way of even 1/2 inch, yesterday he kept clearing it of the snow and was pissed i did not plow mine, I told him with the freezing rain I would wait until it fell ON TOP OF THE SNOW and then clear my drive way. This A.M. i did not have time to plow but the HUMMER had no trouble (after removing the ice from him) to break the ice crusted snow covered drive way. MY neighbors driveway was a shiny as a sheet of glass. He had plowed clear to the black top and then the freezing rain fell. he could not even get his Tahoe to move on the flat part of the driveway. IT was great. we were looking at his drive way (which runs down hill) and were guessing that the ice was two inches thick on it. He is now trying to figure out how to get the ice off adn with the temps dropping below 10 degrees salt is not a choice.

I have a 200 foot driveway, zig zag ,uphill the H3 rips right up it.
If its icy I granny it in low going down
I have a plow set up on my tractor,I didnt bother using it because Im leaving tommorrow.

I plow it with a 1977 dynamark tractor ,The old thing runs like new Takes a while but does the job.

Salt alone wont work its to cold.
Use a mixture of sand with salt,the salt makes holes and the sand fills them,instant grip''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
