Just finished the first round of the day with the 300 polaris and 3 driveways here in Bemijdi. I was out before the kids were up and back just as they were getting their butts up. I will be plowing every few inches to keep up with the snow!

Unfortunately the snow fell between Wednesday night and Friday night up at the cabin, and I didn't get up there until Saturday morning. We had between 15-20" with the drifting that went on, which wouldn't normally be a problem.

The problem was that the last day's "snow" was more like drywall mud. It was so heavy, it took three trees down across the driveway. So, I had the chain saw in the back of the ATV and cut up the first two. Didn't see the third one until I ran over it and got high-sided. Dug the ATV out, and cut up that one.

Everything was so deep and heavy that I had to lower the plow blade 1/2 way and skim a little off the top at a time. Even by gunning the ATV, she managed to get stuck twice, forcing me to dig her out. The name of the game was to clear a little area at a time so I could get enough momentum to gradually expand the plowed area.

In all, a driveway and large turn-around area that usually takes 30 minutes to clear turned into a 4 hour ordeal. Still, the ATV handled it very well, considering what it was dealing with...I'm very thankful to have it.

That night everything froze up tight...So my timing was actually good. I would've had 15" of solid ice had I gotten there Sunday.

Only got 3-4" this time - Easily did 3 driveways and 1.2 miles of road in a little less than 2 hours.
