I have a made in the USA Ariens snow thrower, so I do it. The smallest one that they make. That job took me all of 20 minutes.

The Ranger has 4WD and an electronic locking rear differential, so it's my go-to when the roads are slippery. The Porch is AWD, has an off-road mode, and I have my winter set of wheels/ tires. It's a capable vehicle, but not on par with the Zippy truck.

Waiting for Large Blob to chime in with one of his valuable nuggets or 3 memes.
Agree.

I'd love it for a day or 2.

In the freakish blizzard we had last year, we received over 100 inches of snow in the lake arrowhead area…in like 6 days.

Sooooooooo…yeah.

I've got a brother-in-law with a place up at Mammoth. He's sent us photos that were pretty hard to believe.

I can see the Sierras from my street and there is a lot of snow up there. Have spent a lot of time in the Sierras and the White Mountains and Panamints and the elevations are no joke. Many feet can fall in a single storm. Donner Party shit. We got snowed in at an abandoned cabin in the Panamints in the late '90's and were stuck for 3 days. Only about 5000 feet elevation. The place was weathertight, had a great old stove, and we had a ton of supplies, so it was pretty cool. On the 4th day, there was enough melt to see the trail so we could wheel out of there.

I’d love to have that view from my house. But the cold weather is too much for me and my wife. Or I’d go to Idaho or Montana or Wyoming.
3-4 decades in Florida has thinned the blood and the cold goes right to the bone.
