Regarding Jim's, John's and Paul's experiences with our little snow out
here, it reads like a Land Rover tragedy of some sort. Lots of snow but
no Rover. Myself, I chained up all the way around and put in some time
pulling out a few folks, including a couple 4X4 trucks, and punching
through a few roads and driveways. Only had 3'-3.5' down this way
though.Most of my time was spent on the working end of a shovel, but
never to dig out the Rover. A couple sunny 600 days and life isn't too
bad around here down here in the sleepy hamlet of Pine.
