Day before yesterday I spent about 6 to 7 hours out clearing snow -- doing an "extra" thorough job. Forecast was for wind but no new snow. Well, got the wind (more than expected) plus about 1" of fresh powder. Now we're drifted in with about a truck tire height of snow in the driveway.
Woke up to -29F this morning and it's -11F now at 10:40am. Don't have to be anywhere, so will get the plow truck cranked up tomorrow when it's not quite so cold. ...When possible, I like temps to be at or above zero to plow. Less stress on the steel. However, not always possible. About a month ago I plowed with temps in the -30's.
Maybe Spring will get here by summer.
Brrrr!
I agree with not plowing in real cold temps.
Besides brittle steel , it's harder on everything.
I usually plow a day or two after it needs plowing. Unless it is going to get above freezing. Then I'll hit the worst of it before then. Three inches or better or drifts or else it can just sit there.
Light stuff plows easy. Neighbors can get in and out just fine on fluffy snow.
A neighbor pulled me out of the ditch by the main road a while back when I was trying to be plowing/making things better l.o.l....Winter fun!
?
So we will survive for sure
