well I ended p with a strage snow fall here, at one point in time was about 7 inches of snow down, then rained for 6+ hours warmed up to 40+ degree's then turned back to snow, and still a light mix of snow and rain,  upper 30's
and now there is mostly about 3 inches of very wet heavy snow, with a layer a inch thick of ice or what seems like a solid layer of little round balls of sleet, HAHA!
 gave the skid steer a work out trying to  move some of it,. as in spots it was solid to the ground and a 1/2 of ice under a lot of it too
 skid steers sucks on ice all the more so on slopes and hell!!
on a good note, the warm up and rain seems to have  cause almost all of it to fall off my truck parked outside, I was thinking it was going to be sealed in a  coating of thick  of ice, like I had last yr, 
but was pretty clean all on its own, which was a nice find today!
