Default Snow is here,..........

Might have to fire the 71 up ! Snow has been falling, and is continuing. I'd estimate we have 4" already. Though the snow has been small size, the length of time falling has made accumulation possible. Weather said will continue until Thanksgiving Day.

This is a time where I would adjust the blade shoes down two inches, or lock in the lowest position above ground, because the gravel drive is not frozen. Once that happens, I drop and float the blade. That's one thing I don't miss about having a guy push the drive is all the gravel I clean up in the grass in the spring. Granted, I can make a good mess with the IH, but can control the outcome more so. The IH just does a great job here keeping the drive clear!
