I am sick of shoveling and plowing this stupid snow!!!

If we get any more snow on the ice, I may have to buy one of these. 8)

Any of you guys getting stuck out there? I guess we have more coming too.

I am sick of it too!. I just finished blowing about 14" off of our deck and plowing the driveway. I am starting to gather parts to fix my old '96 Formula III. I plan on using that to get around in this stupid snow. I think I will use it for this year and then next fall sell it to off set the cost of tracks for the 4-wheeler.

Not getting stuck with the Indy.

I didn't get to fish yesterday, but I did drill a hole for S&G and to see how thick the ice was and the snow was so heavy that water came up it. Oh yeah, 11" of ice on Fanny, counting the 2" of frozen slush.

We had to move our hard side twice on Saturday, finally found a spot that didn't flood. Things are a real mess out on the lakes around here, only the people who have a plow are able to move about. Talked to some one today at the bait shop,and one of the locals was on Otter Tail lake with his truck, was checking out a spot and drilled a hole to see if he was on a break, didn't get to check the water depth ... he left that area real fast had only 9 inches of ice,!! Saturday, Sunday, Shovel, & Snow, seams that theirs a paturn here, only can hope that the weather will change Soon. Hey Carper34 were do you work in Ottertail? Lets be careful out there, and PLEASE shut off The SNOW!!!

carper34 · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 21, 2008, 11:16 PM »

well, we need the water to get on the ice and freeze again, so we can get rid of so much of the flooding. oh yeah, and i am interning at the ottertail sheriffs dep. in the new building

it seems like every time i clear the driveway the snow just piles up right behind me

Skipper · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 30, 2008, 03:19 PM »

I got another foot today. My 500 gallon propane tank is nearly burried.

This is gonna make it tough to fish.

Haywood · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 30, 2008, 03:23 PM »

they shut down the snow plows in Isanti today, cause they couldn't keep up. I hear 13" in Rush City and 10-12 in Cambridge. Can wait, I get to drive home in 7 minutes

i am tired of the snow I am having a hard enough time trying to get through the 14 inches of it already one most lakes around here...........I have been stuck more than once this year so far on the ice but a scoop shovel sure does help

Skipper · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 30, 2008, 05:38 PM »

Ice is always level, the shovel will always get you out.

muduck · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 30, 2008, 05:56 PM »

I need to spend less time with the snow blower & more time with my jig pole.

Skipper · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 30, 2008, 08:38 PM »

You may need the snowblower to get out on the lake!

brokenline · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 31, 2008, 10:43 PM »

amortec · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 01, 2009, 01:33 PM »

Don't feel too bad guys, we've gotten about 32" in the last week and a half here, on top of the ice storm that knocked out power for about 250,00 people a week before that.

Skipper · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 02, 2009, 06:58 PM »

im looking at an Indy 500 long track 2 up for cheap. My wheeler aint gonna be much good anymore.

amortec · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 02, 2009, 08:41 PM »

That's what my better half rides, does it have reverse? Fan cooled?

carper34 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 02, 2009, 09:10 PM »

No reverse, but it is a liquid cooled. It is old as the hills, 1993 or so I think

It is in grandma ridden condition, but they cant make it run.

I am hoping for something simple to fix, it seems to have compression. Even if I have to overhaul the engine, the chassis are worth it. When I say I'm getting it for cheap, I mean I am getting it cheeeeeeeeeeap! People just don't want to mess with that old stuff anymore. And if it wont run, it is practically worth scrap price

Haywood · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 11:59 AM »

what happened to that snow? they were saying a foot Friday night, 7 inches yesterday morning and we got maybe 2 inches of fluff.

amortec · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 01:49 PM »

Well must have another 7-8 after yesterday .... Skipper, Sounds like the carbs need to be removed and cleaned ... If you do that be sure to flush out fuel lines and tank also.

brokenline · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 03:23 PM »

we got 4 and it drifted... any tips on getting a house out with a snowmobile with 8 inches of fluff?
