Our neighbor, farmer Scott, payed us a visit this afternoon to blow out the 6-8 foot drifts in our lane. It was impossible for us to blast through with our "normal" equipment, so we called in the big guns...a big John Deere, diesel and blower that could throw the snow into the next timezone.
Feel free to click on the pictures for a larger view.
With the wind packing the snow into concrete like drifts, even the super heavy equipment had to take a run at some of the drifts.
Of course with the snow comes some winter beauty as well. If you look carefully at these pictures you will see them glisten because of the ice we received prior to the blizzard. Also, the blue skies always look nice after nothing but white-out conditions. Click for larger images if you wish.
What a nice feeling to have the snow removed....time now for a big mug of hot chocolate!

That's sure pretty pictures, but glad we're no longer in it. Looks like my days in Indiana where drifts would shut us in. Stay safe, glad you're staying warm.
Beautiful Photos but I am glad I can enjoy them from somewhere that is snow free. This is our first year away from the snow and shoveling. Good thing you have access to "the big guns", love those John Deeres.
