Re: (ET) Nice foot of snow

NiCds! WOO!

Pb-As and a plow here. Coming down like crazy west of Boston. I mentioned in a recent email that my plow is pitched right now, so it's not riding up the way it did. Nonetheless, I'll do a pass pretty soon, at about the 3" mark... because it's heavy stuff.

Warmth, safety, and fun plowing/throwing to everyone

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.
