[AT] Pretty snowy, for southwestern Ohio

[Mike Sloane]

Here in NW NJ, we got about 3" of heavy wet snow and then freezing rain 
on top of that. It later turned to just plain rain, so I plowed my two 
mile private lane with my F350 mason dump. After the rain stopped, I 
took the Ford 860 with 7' rear blade out and cleaned things up and did a 
few neighbors' drives. The temperature got up to 39°, but is supposed to 
go down to 22° tonight. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the water 
will have drained off the hills and not turn the whole lane into a 
bobsled run from one end to the other.

The 860 got an electronic ignition last year, and now I can count on it 
starting easily and running really well. That, and the canvas weather 
cab, makes the work actually fun, for a change.
