    Once the windshield warms up a bit give the wiper blade a little snap to get the ice off of it...pull it away from the windshield a few inches and let it spring back...will clean the ice off the blade. Tip from Canada :)

    Or better yet, leave the blades up, so they don’t freeze to the windshield. Much easier to clean that way. We’ve resided here for over 41 years and we use the heavy duty winter blades on our vehicles then switch them out to summer blades in the spring.

    Greetings from Michigan where we know snow but have not any this winter. Our temps are WAY above normal, no ice on the Great Lakes.You definitely have some snow there! Wish I could send you my Ariens Snowblower, to help clear around the house. Glad to see you digging out now but 24 + more inches no doubt will require a second dig out. Weather reports we are hearing say your area had 100+ mph winds. WHEW this has to be epic. Most importantly, take care of yourselves. I hope you have chains for that 4WD Polaris sidexside. Looking forward to next video when you can.

    Quads and Side by Sides don't go for crap in the deep snow. They don't have much clearance or weight. You'd have to have super tall over sized tires with chains to get anywhere in one of those. I speak from experience. My pickup does much better. I've had to leave a brand new machine out in the woods overnight cause it couldn't handle snow for crap. Good Luck

    Here's another note to self: When you start up a vehicle, to warm up the engine, get your ass out of the vehicle and clean the windows. Don't be lazy or be an idiot and guess where you're driving. Make it a habbit, and you'll save yourself $$$. Best of Luck and clean windshields anytime your in the vehicle. If your kid told you he slammed into a vehicle because he windshied wasn't clear from snow and ice, what would you tell you kid. Not preaching , just considering safety first and always. Happy times.

Apologies if you mentioned it in one of your videos, I'll see them all eventually. I snow plow in Idyllwild, CA with a skid steer. We get about 1/20th of the snow you get but five or six good snow plowing storms. Steep, slippery, curvy roads and driveways makes it fun. I love the work.

    every single work truck needs an extendable snow brush and an extendable squeegee. And both of them should be able to reach completely across the windshield. And both of them should always be kept behind the back passenger seat. They are on all of our work trucks here in Eastern Montana / Western North Dakota & our locations in 5 different towns down in, Wyoming. I am the HSE (Safety Manager) At-Large.

    I can't believe that you don't have a set of tracks for the Quad. Especially when you live in snow country and knew that it was going to snow. Quads get around in the snow, pretty decent with 4 tracks. Push more snow with tracks also. They make clamp Chains for Track compact track loaders as well. With chains on a CTL, will out perform a wheeled skidsteer with chains as well. I feel for you. Hope you see warmer weather. I like your tip off bucket one the payloader. Tho I often think that a big pickup type 4 way v plow would be better suited for the payloader, Skidsteer or tractor loader. They are so versatile for moving and piling snow. Kinda wish I had one on my loader tractor.

Had I pushed it at 8" or so I could have handled the other 8 or 10 that fell. They will handle up to that but more than 10 you are screwed. 20" was too much!
