(ET) Nice foot of snow

[CZ Unit <cz alembic crystel com>]

Got some very wet, heavy snow last night, about a foot. Very glad I put 
the chains on the tractor, it went right up the hill and down again 
before I needed to put it back on charge.

Power draw must be incredible; I blow snow in "L", which is a good 
balance for speed and keep the chute clear. But if I'm pulling over 200a 
then 20 minutes on a 90ah pack is about right... The NiCDs do not sag 
till the end, and put out a nice bit of power. I really like them.

Will go out later in the day to finish the job, once it's recharged.
