Snowplowing can be fun. Really. Ever tried it? When I was a kid we lived for a few years in a mountain valley where my dad had to plow a 1/2 mile driveway. He mounted a tiny plow on a Jeep CJ, chained all four corners, and chisled away at the white stuff with that underpowered truck like a farmer plowing with one mule instead of a team. I remember ride-alongs, snow flying over the windshield as the blade bounced over rocks and sparked in the early morning dark.
