NW Ohio Blizzard

Great pics-I heard lake effect snow at 3" per hour up your way. Seeing your tracks and undercarriage packed with snow, are your tracks loosened to avoid popping or have you got snow tracks, home made or otherwise?

Thx for posting-

Hi Bernie, the tracks were somewhat loose but they did snap some, backing up helped and going down the road also. Some place the snow wasn't pushed back far enough from the previous snows the melted and refroze so they couldn't get pushed backed with there farm tractors. Some driveways had five foot drifts.

Snow can pack in the track links and when it gets bad enough, it pops and snaps as the sprocket teeth crack the icy compacted snow. Relief holes can be made on the pads to let it push out instead of cracking.

thanks I dont get much of that problem in tropical north Queensland Australia

Pushing snow is fun for the first week, after that it gets old!

Heard last week that it is way way too hot in Australia!
Here its way way too cold!
