We just shoveled the 3 feet the plow left at the foot of the driveway - now on Monday, most of it's melted now (well, the new snow, still have 15" in the yard). We got 86" for the yr in MN. Would love to see the guys in UT drive in this crap! 😂

Looks like you have the same problem as me. I push the snow away and part of my driveway goes with it. We’re getting snow here in northern Utah today so you might get it tomorrow. I think that you done really well at the wrecker games and your sportsmanship was great. Far better than the so called winner.

Looks like where I live. You have snow season, then mud season. First time in 20 years I get stuck in the drive and had to chain up in the snow. Then the truck gets stuck on the drive, twice in the slimy mud on top then frozen ground after the snow melted. It got left halfway up the drive and moved later that evening when the ground refroze. Nice job on the farm truck, I did not know about the rear brake design and would not have known how to release them. At least you had plenty of help there for that. Thanks, nice to see you doing well!

Front porch ripped off of house. Major structural, damage to roof. Also had a complete barn roof ripped off and out in the field approximately 200 yards. 3 tornadoes went through our area. Look up Wapakoneta, Ohio might be videos on you tube.
