<p>Dean & all:</p>
<p>This brings back memories of my youth - during one of the big
blizzards in the late 1970s (not sure if it was 77, 78, or 79) my
dad set out, after the snow stopped, with a similar setup with a
6' blade to plow out our driveway (attached to either a 620 or to
a Farmall 300) - which was the better part of a quarter mile from
the state highway that fronts the farm. However, while the snow
had stopped, there was a strong west wind blowing across the
north-south driveway...Pop had started down at the road and was
working his way back toward the house; he had plowed out about
halfway up the driveway when he looked back at where he had
started - and saw that it had already drifted in to a point where
he couldn't tell he'd done anything.</p>
<p>My dad, being the smart guy that he was (and boy, do I miss him,
even after 5 years) just picked up the blade and drove the tractor
back to the shed. He waited until the wind died down before trying
again - which was the next morning. Fortunately for the folks,
they didn't need to leave the farm for anything, just keep the
cattle fed. <br>
</p>
<p>I think this might have been the same winter that Pop had to plow
roads across the fields in order to be able to haul hay (big
bales) to the herd. The snow was so deep that the cows used his
roads instead of walking through what was hip-deep to them! Smart
animals, too.</p>
<p>Stay warm, all! Snowing again here in Missouri.</p>
