[AT] Off Topic, Meyers versus Western Snow Plows on 1985 F250?

[Will Powell]

I'm in Southeastern PA, last winter was fairly bad. We had a few snow storms that were in the 20 inch range. Looking at the snowfall map I see that the average is somewhere between 30 and 40 inches a year, which seems about right.

Will - what does your winter look like? How much snow do you get each 
year? How much falls at one time? 

Personally I prefer the truck - you stay warm - easier to fuel - easier to 
manage... and you always have the tractor to pull you out! But I think the 
questions above are what really needs to be known to make a proper decision.
