Re: (ET) Snowbanks & Plow

["Christopher Meier" <mr23 mn rr com>]

I had this problem my first winter with an ET, trying to move
packed snow during subsequent snowstorms.  Since then I've
just plowed 10 feet extra on each side, raising the blade a bit
as I leave the drive surface.  Some winters the space nearly fills,
but so far I haven't needed to move piles.

plow, and it keeps coming for a week, you have a problem.  That 10' wide
drive becomes 6' wide with 3' or 4' high packed snow on both sides.  I have
a blower, and yes, you can cut packed snow 8" to 1' at a time for a fix.
Before I got the blower, I came up with another (tedious) method.
