I was having ALOT of fun, tomorrow I have to work on the other half of our driveway. We still haven't been plowed out in the roads yet.

Thanks for the pics!
Thanks John! The first pass takes a long time. Its like u go 3 feet back up, then go another 3 feet and you are spinning the whole time. I had each chain pop off at one point or another. Was nuts, the most snow I have seen at once to date I think.

I'll tell you, that snow would put NC in the darkages for a year!!
That is the million dollar question... Where do you put it. Thats the hardest part, its tough when everything is covered in 3 feet of it. I was able to punch a hole in our yard, right now most of the driveway's snow is sitting where our back yard is. haha. The first pass is crucial, once you break through it really is smooth sailing. I feel beat, I can only imagine how the Cub feels!

Have a question for you, the Weather Channel has been calling this storm Nemo and your calling it Charlotte any ideas?
You got that right Sam! Holy He*l it is a Pain in the A** to get the first pass going and especially uphill. It took a good hour to punch through. I dont know about the name thing, our weather forecasters have been calling it "Blizzard Charlotte".

Eric, Thanks! It was alot of work, but I am very happy to have a Cub. I'm not so sure of too many more that would have been able to handle it! Next time you will get more!
